Its completely up to you Rule because at the end of the day, its what floats your boat interest wise. But if anybody ever asked for my opinion on what to take subject wise, i'd advise them to pick things they'll enjoy partaking and getting involved in as well as having a bit of variety amongst them. Perhaps you might want to consider a creative outlet amongst your picks as to mix it up a bit. When i went to College, i ended up doing 5 AS Levels in the first year in English Language, English Literature, Art, Media Studies and Product Design. I had the 'writing, theory and reading' element along with the 'creativity, practical and fun factor' elements which for me, was a good balance. Lol i did of course drop 2 of them and took 3 on to A Level and might have just gone 3 in retrospect to begin with. Anyway, I don't personally think i could do the subjects your suggesting as i'd get bored and it wouldn't stimulate my mind but hey, different strokes for different folks mate!

When i did my course at Uni, there were people in my froup that couldn't draw! I was like 'What the fuck' but they developed the skills along the way and came out of it with great marks. Same applies to you. Just because you didnt do something or stuffed something up, doesn't mean it should prevent you from choosing to do it. What college you thinking of anyways out of interest?

Could go to Peter Simmonds but all my friends will be going to BP Taunton's is good for Music, Drama, Dance, Art and Design as well as the so called 'Core' subjects your used to like English, Maths, Science. Would recommende it for sure but its a bit out your way and as you said, you want to be where your mates are, tis fair enough.

Probably law, psycology, gepgraphy and history Not afraid of a huge workload then... History and psychology have huge courseworks.. as does geog, not sure about Law. We only had 1 piece of coursework for History and that was HI4 or 5 exam?

I didn't take history but most people in my Politics course did, never heard them stop complaining about it

Personally creativity wasn't an option for me. Well, I chose to do music at GCSE, but it started eating away my enjoyment of something thgat I'd done as a hobby, to suddenly have a lot more meaningful pressure on it. So I ended up doing Physcs, Chemistry, Biology and Maths. Biology was a mistake with hindsight to be honest, but that's irrelevent now in my eyes, now I'm at uni. Rule, the best advice I can give is to do subjects you definitely like. I've always been a science/maths person by nature (comes from having accountants for parents I supose ), and I'm really happy to be doing Physics at uni.

Wouldn't be surprised if Law does as well. My sister didn't do it at school but she's doing it at uni now, and was working solidly right the way through the holidays. My friend does Law too at Uni. He's in his second year and he had a 10,000 word essay to do during Christmas! Law had feckin Loads As did History and Geography

The best thing about maths for me was getting to sit next to the boy I fancied. ....and that Pete is why Maths is excellent! Physics at Aber be the same too.
