What're you going to take?

Haha, I didn't wanna shatter any nice optimistic illusions, but since you've started off - I'll continue.

I love particularly how people are moving from far away places, into the centre of London, and expecting to just be able to get a nice little flat for themselves. They'd need a small job first, that'd need to be in London - so you'd have to travel to London every weekend or something to try and find a job, whilst holding down a job to feed yourself by. Then when you get a job, you have to be able to then afford the flat. Then when you're comfortably in London, you have to somehow get this 'dream' job.

Although I do wish it was as easy as we're all writing down here haha.

I know!
Living in even a shithole in London would be as expensive as a house up north

I will be 23 going on 24.

I hope to get a 1 in most subjects, hopefully English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Music in school before I leave when I am 18.

Get flying lessons at 16 and hopefully be able to do some Airport work.

Get into University and try to become a commercial pilot. I would also love to fly celebs aswell.

I plan to move to London and move into a flat there.

I would also like to get into media, but also maybe a career in music.

I would hopefully find a gf, get married around 25 and have children.

Wouldn't you? I always thought that to do Magazine Editing you would have to take media? I am doing my Math and English GCSE's a year early anyway, Doing them Next year. So this time next year, even though I will be in Year 10, My Math and English will be done :O Sounds So Surreal, anyway, I am Sure I will take English Lit throughout College and university. In Year 11 I do AS Level Math and English, in one year. So that means I have the potential to get in 6 AS Levels in the normal Schooling time, which is really good apparently! I will probably do:

Math (DEF)
English Lit(DEF)
Drama (DEF)
History
ICT
English Language

I guess that is how it works?

I mean, what is the difference between AS and A level?

I'm still not 100% sure as i'm thinking of changing some subjects, i'm still stuck between 3 colleges aswell but i'm hoping to take: English Lang/Lit, History, Photography and Graphics/Media .. but i kind of want to change Graphics/Media to Business Studies as i'm really good at it.. however the subject bores me to death even though it's one of my strongest subjects aside from English :)

Thankyou so much! That's really a massive help. I was thinking of taking English anyways but now i'm 100% sure that i want to!

It would be interesting to save this thread to see how some of the younger members change their attitudes. If you are under fifteen let me say this to you : the next four or so years of your life are going to be incredible, and are going to change your initial thoughts on just about EVERYTHING. You are but a blank slate until your teen years. It is then when you really start to define who you are. Four years ago I wanted to study Medecine. Enough said.

I always used to think childhood being the happiest years of your life and innocence being lost as you grow up as being complete cliches. Their not. I was shocked to find out [often first hand] how true they were. Childhood to me now seems like a fairy tail. I almost WISH I was a less intelligent person who thought about things less. Thats what your like as a child. You dont think into things. Everything is just a source of entertainment.

Anyway, enough of sounding depressed...

I wanted to do Philosophy at university :|
Or go to oxford :|

1 - NEVER
2 - I'd never get in :( :(
