Default Suggestions?

On Friday evening, I applied to a college quite far away, but a good college all the same. Last year I went to one and was doing Three A levels & a GCSE resit.. and one of the A levels involved traveling to this college, for a particular subject. So I've basically seen it and it's impressive.

Anyway, that wasn't my point. On the application forum, theres a box that says unsure of which subject, so I clicked it, and also clicked A Levels. So I am just wondering, what is everybody studying? Or have studied and found good?

I am definitely doing a Maths GCSE resit 'cause I got a D -_-;

I did Psychology last year, and it was fantastic..So I might do that, but I am not too fussed on anything I've thought of?

I would love to do English. I want to be able to string a sentence together without a spelling/grammar mistake in.

Maybe Performing Arts, or something..I'm not sure, I don't know what there is to do? When I ask questions I feel stupid..So Yeah? Any ideas?

Take psychology, it looks really interesting - gutted I can't.
Performing arts would probably be good if your into that kidna thing, I was gonna take it from the drama side but the course at where I'm going included dance and music too.. so abit of a fail for me I think you'd suit it though, do you know what the course included?

I love English, would you do Literature or Language?

If you check on the college website they should have a prospectus for all the courses which give you some better info on them matey! :]

I would say ICT

But anyway, you like acting, so perhaps doing the performing arts like you said?

I'm doing media studies at the moment, and just about to start my second year in September.

I love it, I was going a IT course before, however that was crap, partly because it was badly run at the sixth form (Was only the second year of having a sixth form at my old school). And partly because it was the same thing every day, sat infront of a computer the whole time, got pretty boring.

I didn't even have a interest in doing media studies before I did the course, I went to connextions (Cant remember how to spell it, they spell it different I think), they where a great help by the way, might be worth popping into there if there is one near you.

I'm doing English language.

English Literature is more what's written with the words, and English Language is looking at how the words are used/styles of writing.

I don't know how to explain it x(

I think you'd probably pick it up on the way, when you write things more regularly you start to notice any common mistakes and all that. :]

ICT is pants whoever said that. I did really well at ICT at GCSE but A level is the hardest subject EVER and its not fun or anything!! lol.... Media on the other hand is a wicked subject, I've just finished my second year of it and loved it. Business is an easy subject and it's ok I suppose but media I would definately recommend.

If you like acting, English Literature would probably be a really good subject to take because you'll probably be given the opportunity to study a few pieces of drama. Some colleges offer a Literature and Language combined course, so maybe you could see if you could do that instead?

Maths.

For universities, it's the best subject to have.
