How to develop intellectual curiosity (again)?

I'm a college junior, interning at an EB this summer. I'm not sure if finance is what I really want to do. It seems interesting, but I'm not totally sure if it's my thing for the long haul. I used to love exploring the world through books, but now I find it hard to concentrate on reading for more than a few minutes.

I'm here in the HF forum because I'm thinking about working with public equities someday. Last summer, I interned at a small investment firm and it got me thinking about this path. But my classmates are super passionate about learning everything, and I feel like I've lost that curiosity. I'm not sure if I can bring it back or if my interests have changed. Specifically about finance, I haven't really dived into any specific area to see if I like it enough to study more. But then again, if I'm not eager to do that, maybe it's a sign that finance isn't my thing? (And unrelated to finance, I'd love to be curious again)

I hope that makes sense. Any advice on how to figure this out would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.
