Comment maybe CS isn't right for you (Score 1) 1177
I was in a similar situation my freshman and sophomore year. I absolutely loved my beginning Computer Engineering classes but then, as I got further into it, they became less fun and more painful. It's not just that they became more difficult, the subject matter was just no longer to my liking (circuit analysis and analog are not for me.)
At the same time I found myself enjoying my required CS classes and ended up changing majors. I'm now two semesters from graduating and I'm still greatly enjoying my classes. I definitely work my ass off (Ga. Tech is well known for that) but it's fun.
Basically, maybe CS was good for you at the beginning but once you got further into it, as the true subject matter was exposed, you decided it wasn't for you. I'm definitely not suggesting you to change majors at this point but perhaps you should find a future that involves slightly different material. If grad school is in your plans then figure out what you really like, be it a small specialty of CS or a whole different field, and do that. Same with a future job, make sure it's something you think you'll enjoy doing for the rest of your life (or at least a few years.) I know lots of people who have a degree in one thing and do something completely different.
Good luck.
