Most colleges require students to take classes in many fields of study in order to give them a more well-rounded education. Try your best in these classes and see what perks your interest. There is also no harm in taking intro-to classes that look interesting to you. Eventually you will find something you really like.
But try not to drag out the process. Remember that while you do have some time for exploration, that time is limited. Do your best to research as many fields of study that seem interesting to you even before you register for an introductory class.

Any satisfaction you receive from fulfilling outside expectations will not fill the hole of disappointment left by giving up what you really want to do. Your daily happiness is more important than anything. So make sure you pick something you enjoy, no matter what the rest of the world says.
