How do i find what im passionate about in college when im stuck on autopilot?

Need Advice

F20, psychology major, working retail to pay for rent and tuition. I chose psychology because I thought Id love learning about people, but my classes feel like a bunch of learn to pass, then forget, and I’m not sure its my thing anymore. My life has just lectures, long shifts at the store, and my tiny apartment. Im too broke for stuff like art supplies or even a movie night, which sucks because I used to love sketching and watching sci-fi. I read posts saying your 20s are for figuring yourself out, but I’m just checking boxes and feeling kinda lost. How do you figure out what you’re actually into when you’re always busy and broke? Are there cheap ways to explore passions in college, like clubs or online stuff? Would love tips or stories from girls who felt stuck in but got out.
