Should I major in EE or ECE?

I have two options:

a. Major in EE, minor in CS
b. Get a ECE major (EE + CE)

EE = electrical engineering
ECE = electrical and computer engineering

If I take 16.5 units per quarter (each class is usually 4 units), I could graduate in exactly 2 years. This is good because I've already spent 2 years at my uni.

If worse comes to worse, ECE would take me an extra quarter.

I don't know what exactly I want to do with just a EE degree. To be honest, I kind of wish I could switch to CE but I have just taken too many EE classes that I don't want to lose credit for. I also don't have any accomplishments in my life, so if I graduated with a ECE degree, I would feel a sense of fulfillment. It would be an actual accomplishment. It would be a challenge though.

Majoring in ECE would probably be living hell (taking four or more upper div classes a quarter). I would also have to spend all my times studying. I do have two hobbies, reading and a sport.

It looks like Corona virus is going to die off in the beginning of 2022. That is my uneducated prediction.

Should I strap down and study hard?

To clarify, I am myself very much an introvert. I have never had a girlfriend and I generally don't have a lot of experience with women. I have no friends (besides online friends whom I debate politics with on discord). I am autistic. It seems as if I have very little chance of getting a gf, so I'm thinking of just spending all of my time pursuing this ECE degree and worrying about a gf in 3 years.

If I took the easy route (option a) and tried to date, I fear that I'm wasting my time because I'm too awkward and the women only continue the date just out of politeness. I'm not attentive to their cues.

What are your thoughts?
