Well, either change or fail. Or change to an "easy" major, skim through, then be bitter when you have a degree and no job.

When I got my act together at went back to college I entered as a music major but ended up in chemistry. I learned my lesson in Calc 1. If I waited until the night before assignments were done, I struggled. If I did problems every day, it was easy.

It is very simple. At some point brains alone are useless. Work ethic is what separates winners from losers. I did chem problems every single day. Including weekends. I would do the same worksheets in o-chem multiple times, and asked the prof for extra problem sets. I crushed curves.
