"I HATE doing anything with labs or chemicals"

Physics will have labs, but no chemicals in solutions. Lots of math! If you have career goals at this point in your life, let that factor into your decision. Be prepared for the fact that you might need both.

Just remember: if it's bloody, it's biology; if it's smelly, it's chemistry; and if it doesn't work, it's physics.

I will give you the rundown of college level courses.

Chemistry: Tough class, need good math skills and quick with squaring, logs, and natural logs. Quadratic formula use and equations are abundant. There are many concepts that must be needed to do problems. It can get very confusing and problems aren't straightforward because the basics are pretty easy. Old material needs to be known before moving on. Knowledge of the periodic table is a must and you learn about naming very quickly. Pre-requisite for both Organic and Bio Chemistry.

Physics: General course isn't actually "that" bad if you have taken a calculus course. Problems are more straightforward but more complex math wise which makes it difficult. You really need memorization because there are many equations and constants. It is tough to start and only gets harder. Math skills are a must but natural ability can get you through it.

Personally, I prefer chemistry since it's a mix of math/concepts and opens the doors for many future courses such as pharmaceutics. It is more practical since physics only opens the door to a physics major or engineering...both of which are solid degrees but medical/pharmaceutical degrees are better in today's market.

Chemistry mainly studies thing in a molecular level (atoms,elements) while Physics mainly studies thing in a huge level (Planets, gravity).

Chemistry

the science of matter; the branch of the natural sciences dealing with the composition of substances and their properties and reactions.

Physics

the science of matter and energy and their interactions
