Sounds like it just didnt matter for you, telling him what degree he goes for has "little importance" is very innaccurate.
My own experiences are the only ones I have to share. They have been what has shaped my perspectives on things.

If you think school is a drag, wait until you try the unemployment office or welfare. You will whistle a different tune then, I guarantee.

You could switch majors? When I first got into my biochem program I had to switch it to pre-health until I finished the math portion, then I did and declared my major in biochem after BUSTING MY ASS.... if your in undergrad still (freshmen sophomore year) then those classes are used to weed out people. You can only just push forward.
I am not going to lie some of my most laziest times were those years.. I would just get out of class and go smoke all day with my friends and do jack shit, then I'd cram for a test getting B scores and one semester I totally sucked and got a few C's. If you turn that around in upper division you can easily still get a good GPA...
If you suck at biology though I find it very hard to think you'd be better at Chemistry... I almost wanted to die when I had to take physical chemistry. It's all derivatives and differential equations.....My strong point is in Biology.
I can now gladly say that my GPA has increased drastically since I have cut out other things..
My friend dropped out, so my blaze buddy was gone.. so now I'm pretty much locked into studying M-Th, then Friday and Saturday's I go out with friends.. perfect balance if you ask me...Sometimes I do shit during the week..
Looks like Gaming is your main problem, throw that shit out, I don't even have cable (b/c I don't want to pay for it looool)...
Also think about what your going to do in the future. If you ever want to get into Grad school your going to have to take the Grad test for that major and that shit will be pretty hard and if your scores aren't up to par, you won't even be able to get your masters...

Generally speaking your degree doesn't really matter. Unless you plan on working in a highly technical field such as engineering pretty much any degree will suffice.

What do you mean by degree doesn't matter? Surely a bachelor's degree in say pharmacology, immunology, or biochemistry will yield much more opportunity than a degree in the history of basket weaving.
I'm not saying you'll be able to get an awesome paying job with a bachelor of science but I feel like your options would be far more open and the pay would probably be better.

Of course I've never been hungry, and that's not a bad thing like you're trying to make it seem. Just because you went without doesn't mean that I should have to

Bio and Chem do have some overlapping aspects but they are two totally different beasts. Bio at my Uni is just a ton of straight up memorization of animal phylums, different body plans etc. It drives me fucking nuts. But i'm kicking ass in organic chemistry. I'd much rather SOLVE problems than memorize information.

Don't know if your school is the same, but in my school bio majors can minor in chemistry just by taking an additional three classes. You should look into it.

The only place I know to make more friends would be at school clubs, and those aren't the type of people I enjoy It seems hard to just naturally make friends in college, at least for me. I went to the same school for 15 years so I've pretty much just had the same bunch of friends my entire life
and sexy ladies don't like it when I talk to them

You should still be knowledgeable enough to know that just because you wanted to go to the peace corps and go to Thailand doesn't mean that everyone's degree doesn't matter, even that's your experience lol..
Maybe if you're just getting a general aa, but I was under the impression he was getting a ba.

Every class I've ever taken, the teacher can't fail huge parts of the class. the worse others do the better I look.
Especially classes graded on a curve, oh lawdy I love the people who do badly in those 
And also in my application to professional school, people who did worse than I did just make me look better by comparison

here is some advice. buckle down, a keep educating yourself. school is for people with half a brain. unfortunately in this society, it's looked upon that you require schooling, to prove that you can hang with the big boys, because of egos, and bullet proof narcissism.
