Hi There...

I am 25 years old and i go to college. It has become REALLY hard for me. I don't socialize at all hardly and all the noise and people disturb me. I hate the classes i'm in i only go because i'm trying to get my teaching credential so that i could work in the state of California. I hate it so much. There's a lot of time i plain just don't like to go anywhere not just school. I'm having a hard time adjusting to everything including adult life. I've found i still have more things in common with kids usually between 11-14. I always feel, alone, isolated and feel i don't belong (personally i don't mind not belonging i find it okay just sometimes i wish i could socialize and do the things that everyone else does sometimes). I get overwhelmed easily and distracted. It's hard to continue a conversation because my mind is not there most of the time and i cannot focus. I have ADD also so focusing is VERY hard for me. I don't think i could handle another semester of school. It's been 2 years and i go to a community college and i feel i am getting nowhere. I should've always had a degree by now but it's taking me FOREVER. Not to mention i switched my major. I used to be a music major which i liked but now i'm starting to doubt my new major in early childhood education. I wanted to be a special needs teacher that teaches music to the children at a preschool or elementary school but this seems a lot harder than i thought. I'm getting sick and tired of explaining myself like why i get accommodations that the other students don't. Even then i'm very slow and cannot keep up with the class most of the time and i'm getting tired of it. Do you think i should continue my education or drop all my classes and do what i love which is music?

Music and Theatre are in there, but not Art? XD Art was my favourite because I loved creating things. English was a good enough second though.
I would say to keep going, unless you feel like you really don't want to be a music teacher. I know school's hard sometimes, but just think of the big picture when times get rough. Besides, if you go back to a Music major, it'll be harder for you to get a job.
Just don't quit on college all together and you should be fine though It's your decision, not mine or anybody else's.

Science, math and orchestra are my favorite subjects in school. I know it's early but i'm thinking of majoring in science.

I picked theatre because that (well, drama) was my favourite class in high school (although I am terrible at acting, I still liked the class). Now that I am in college, my favourite classes are theology. Since that wasn't an option, I picked theatre on your poll.
