Sometimes it just takes some exploring to find what "clicks" for you, as you put it. Also keep in mind that sometimes the day to day of a profession can be very different from learning about it. I used to study neuropsychology - loved the classes, thought it was fascinating. But as soon as I learned what the day to day was for a clinical neuropsychologist, I realized that it wasn't what I wanted to do. For vetmed, it's different. I love learning about veterinary medicine and love working in the clinic. You are still young. If you aren't sure right now, that's ok. Explore a few things, see where your heart is in it. Also I'd advise shadowing a vet early on, just for a few hours to start, to see if you'd enjoy working as a veterinarian. I wish I did that with psychology - would have saved me 3 years! And yes, people have pointed out that you may not enjoy your classes right away. That's true. I hated chemistry and ochem. The upper division stuff like physiology, endocrinology, etc, gets interesting (at least to science nerds like me).
