I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.
I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

Colleges will be looking at your grades, activities, etc in order to accept you. Most colleges allow you to specify a major when you apply. This means that you can enter college with psychology as your major.
This isn't set in stone, so if you dislike it you can change. Likewise, you can enter college with an undeclared major and change it once you are there.
You'll want to meet with an academic adviser when you are first there. The good thing about psychology is that it's a social science, and basic level social science classes are usually required for EVERY major. You can take an intro to psychology class your first semester and see how it feels.
The adviser will be able to tell you about all the psychology courses the college offers, the requirements you need to graduate with a degree in the field, etc.
Your college should also have a centre where you can learn more about career choices. They should have info on careers related to psychology and what they require - some you can go right into after college, some you will need further degrees for. Psychology is a helpful, basic minor and would be good for most jobs.
Specific related jobs include:
Counselling
Clinical Psychologist
Educatinal Psychologist
Counselling Psychologist
Research
Support Worker
Youth Worker
You can google any of these for more info.
I wish you the best - hope you enjoy college!
