You don't have to be top in your class to stick around and set yourself up for a great career in software. And if things seem painfully abstract at times, it's because they are. Computer science is a theoretical discipline and you'll appreciate the lessons years later.
If it isn't coming to you quickly it's not a big deal. I wound up dropping out of CS and got back into code later. I'd probably have stuck it out if I knew then what I know now. 😄

I didn't know you were a fellow CS dropout! There's SO MANY of us! 😂
I am also. I was physics first.
I ultimately got my bachelor's but it wasn't in CS. It was a mix of math and CS because I had a lot of credits in both.
It's a good thing I learned my sysadmin stuff on the side.
