Well, I flunked Calculus, and I'm wondering if I should just go into liberal arts or something (currently a Biochemistry major). This is the second time I've flunked Calculus (flunked it in highschool too) and I'm feeling that anything that requires Calculus would be impossible for me. Any ideas?

I know at least in Florida - you can fail a class 3 times before they start charging you as an out-of-state student.
I honestly would try again, third time is the charm and all. But like, find a tutor or go live in your teacher's office. Work hard and do your best, I'm sure you can even ask for help here on Mabination.
Since I know we have some people who successfully completed Calculus with high marks.

Actually, I'm probably gonna end up taking Calculus II even though I flunked Calculus... Unless they decide not to let me; not sure what's gonna happen. Haven't taken organic chemistry yet; still haven't completed prerequisites and whatnot (like general chemistry II).

I think I had an easier time with Organic Chemistry than I did with Calculus.
I am also a biochemistry major, but I think you should just fill the requirement of taking Calc II depending on what you want to do with your biochemistry major. If you just want to work in a lab after you get your bachelors, flunking Calc I and taking Calc II is just fine. However, I honestly think you should change major if you are planning to obtain your PhD or something where you obviously need to know your material (I wouldn't say this if you are really good at all your other subjects, and by really good I mean B+ or above).

They're not gonna let you take calc 2 without passing calc 1.
And almost every liberal arts major requires you to clear calculus, so you're kinda fucked in every way unless you go back and pass calc.

Is this considered Calc AB or Calc BC. Or is it something completely different?

AB/BC is highschool.
To put in to comparison though, AB will cover almost everything Calculus 1 covers in college.
BC will go in to about half of Calculus 2.
If you took AB and passed the AP exam, I still recommend retaking Calculus 1 in college for reinforced clarity. Unless you got a 5 and you think you have it down perfectly.
If you passed the BC exam go ahead and hop right in to Calculus 2.
