College Algebra - "Study of algebraic concepts including linear and quadratic equations, inequalities and systems; polynomials, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions in the natural and social sciences with emphasis on their numerical, graphical, and algebraic properties and their applications. Introduction to summation notation, sequences, and series."
Finite Math - "This course presents a variety of applications of algebra to real-world problems and includes an introduction to set theory, probability, and statistics. Topics include linear functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, matrices, linear programming, and the mathematics of finance. "
If you taking algebra 2 in high school, which I suspect you do, College Algebra will be easier ( a relative term). If you "hate" math (but I think you do not), then I'd suggest taking Finite Math. It's a lot more interesting than algebra and maybe will cause some of your hate (:-)) to go away. It is, however, a little more difficult than algebra (good if you like challenges). Applications of algebra to real-world problems is something what you gonna need all your life long.
