It's a tough pull to swallow sometimes but when choosing a major its beneficial to see what the job market for jobs that require your particular degree (or would at least benefit that job). If you have an interest in woman's studies or theatre you can probably just take some night classes or join organizations/clubs and it'll be a fraction of the cost if it costs anything at all.
I know way too many people I went to college with who took a major because it sounded interesting and TEN YEARS LATER they're paying hundreds of dollars a month working at a job they could have had right out of high school.
I know it's probably not what you want to hear but college should be for prepping yourself forthe future, not enjoying yourself for 2-4 years and paying for it the next 20+
Good luck

So what I ended up doing just now, is dropping two classes, paying for one class plus books, I still had to pay about $700 for it, nearly half my bank account, and I'm feeling down, because it's only one class, and I wanted more of a college experience then that, and I'm upset about the pricing, and all of that jazz.

1,700 a semester? Are you talking US Dollars? If so, that's ridiculously cheap relative to what I paid every semester I studied in Canada, where the upfront cost of tuition is supposedly much cheaper than the States (because it's heavily subsidized by all taxpayers, which means they need to spend $ on school even when they have no intention of using it).
