I think I've wasted time and money going to university and now I don't know what to do

I am in my first semester of university coming straight out of high school, time pressure got me last year in high school and I was like "I'm alright at STEM, engineering sounds cool and get's me opportunities if I decide not to do engineering" so I went with that. Fast forward this year, I am so disinterested by the workload I've pretty much quit with 4 weeks to go in this semester, but kept enough options open where I can really lock tf in for exams and still pass. I have no dream or goal for after uni and that makes me not want to do the boring shit even more. I also just cannot for the life of me think of a dream job, something I want to do that isn't out of the realm of possibility.

My issue is, I really like where I am, I'm away from home and have surrounded myself with really good people that I don't want to leave. I also hate where I'm from, just so mundane and boring, same people, small area and a shitty minimum wage job to go back to, I certainly don't want to return, not because it's bad just because I want to get out.

I'm now just stuck, I haven't found a degree I like, I'm on the verge of just calling it quits and saying that I don't like school in general, I don't know what my future holds but I certainly know I don't want it to be my home town for the next couple of years. I am also stuck with a bit of a curse of knowledge, I'm smart enough to do a degree involving STEM but not interested enough, but I don't want to waste that potential and regret it in the future. The money has already been spent, I don't care about my half that's been blown but my parents half that's what I'm annoyed at myself about. The thought of just giving up scares the shit out of me for the long run knowing how rarely I stick at things, I just want to curl up into a ball and have life stop for a while, it's eating at my head, I am well and truly lost.

Note: Please just refrain for insulting my choice of study, I already feel quite shit about it to start with lmao, I can smell the comments from a mile away.
