Why is it so hard choosing a college major?
What should someone like me who can't decide on their major but wants to further their education major in? This uncertainty has ruined my college career, and I can't make up my mind and I'm just tired of being so confused. My interest include art, design, nutrition, being healthy, writing, I'm okay at biology. I also enjoy singing and being creative in general. Basically I would say I'm a creative person. I'm to the point where I just want to choose whatever I enjoy just to have a degree. I don't ever care about job prospects anymore because it seems unless it's engineering, nursing, math or degrees like that anything else is worthless.
Why the hell do they tell us to go to college to make more money when most degrees are seen as "worthless". This really sucks for someone who is a creative individual and not into math and hard sciences. I know college is also about learning and expanding your knowledge. What should I do I'm so lost??

If you haven't started yet, see if your school has an "undeclared" or "basic college" curriculum. There are a lot of classes that you're going to have to take regardless of your major, and it's best to get those done first anyway. Then you'll have some time to try some things out and explore your options before you have to make a decision.
If you're already in college, and up against having to choose a major, then I suggest you choose something reliable that's going to be marketable when you graduate. Business is typically a good choice, but isn't as heavy on the hard math as accounting or certainly mathematics. Even if you do ultimately go into a creative field, having a business background will serve you well, and ensure that you can get a return on your educational investment in a way that a more artsy degree would not.

You don't have to work in something you love. Of course you shouldn't do something you hate. What I mean is you can always have something as a hobby.
Your interests are being healthy and nutrition why not major in that? You can be a dietitian, professor, or other things (im not familiar with the profession :/) If you liked the program/classes but are still unsure then go to grad school. This not only allows you to change your carrer path to something else but it also increases your chances of finding a job.
As for your interests in art and writing you can always minor. Or you can do it on your own as a hobby (:

Seriously. Take a gap year and explore. Volunteer, intern, work - just do something do find out what you're really interested in.
Just consider a lot of people are in this stage. The average college student changes their major 4-6 times, half of graduates do something outside of their degree, and even then most people change careers multiple times in their lifetime. Basically, this means that most people are unsure. Take some time to figure it out.
But if you hate sciences ,then don't go into health. You won't survive.
