Over the past six months, I've found it extremely difficult to narrow my course search down as I've had so many different ideas but nothing I'm dead set on. I have a wide range of interests, but not one particular hobby that I'm truly passionate about. All of my experience lies in sports and sports coaching, but I'm not thinking about a career in sport, is that weird? I really want to go to university, but I just feel like I'm going to make a mistake with my choice of degree. I've visited different uni's and looked at various courses; from teaching, to journalism, to law and criminology. Some days I feel like I'm on the right track, but other days I feel like I'm making a massive mistake and I should be doing something in sport as that's where all of my experience lies. I was just wondering if you have any advice for choosing a degree? I'm so confused and I really don't want to make a mistake - especially with the amount of money it costs!<br /><br />Also, I think you should take the leap and head off to travel around Canada and America. It's an experience you'll remember forever, and hopefully for the better. You never know what opportunities lie ahead. I would love to follow your future experiences through this blog. If anything, I think you'll gain more readers as you travel - good luck!<br /><br />Finally, I just wanted to say that this is the first blog post of yours I have read and I think I may have just fallen in love with your blog a little! Although I know you said this isn't your usual stuff, I really like the way you write and I will definitely be back to read more.<br /><br />TashhhEmily<br />http://tashhhemily.blogspot.co.uk/TashhhEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09050668391503784360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18018759856870954.post-87651544228690662622014-06-26T13:58:50.285+01:002014-06-26T13:58:50.285+01:00I'm off to uni in September and it was nice to...I'm off to uni in September and it was nice to read this to just calm myself, though I'm excited it's hitting me that it's a big thing and I'm actually leaving home, but I found this post so helpful and I'll definitely follow your tips:)xx<br />http://loobydoobahhdiidoo.blogspot.co.uklucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117411114955124151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18018759856870954.post-14243559511977320432014-06-23T16:59:23.002+01:002014-06-23T16:59:23.002+01:00That's fine lovely, you're THE nicest!! xx...That's fine lovely, you're THE nicest!! xxxx<br /><br />Hannah xo | <a href="http://hannatalks.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">hannatalks</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102208175931199077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18018759856870954.post-65661560954772167852014-06-14T13:26:41.026+01:002014-06-14T13:26:41.026+01:00This is such a great post!

It was horrible and found myself wishing that I had just chosen another accommodation! It was nice reading this to know that I wasn't alone thinking that I was lonely!<br /><br />So, thank you for writing this! It really helped me! xxxx<br /><br />Lola- lolak-o.blogspot.comOyinlolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849701208460651061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18018759856870954.post-92079621858257657062014-06-13T20:51:08.380+01:002014-06-13T20:51:08.380+01:00Awww... thank you, really glad it's helped you...Awww... thank you, really glad it's helped you!

Ee...Aw thank you I'm glad you found it helpful! Eeek, it is quite stressful, as I said, I changed my mind so many times course wise. I do broadcast journalism, it was difficult to choose something not AS academic as what I wanted to do, I made that choice because I knew I loved the media world. I did choose to do it at a Redbrick good university though so at least it's a good university, we also do law modules and politics so I made sure I was doing something which wouldn't look too 'soft' on my CV! But definitely just do something you love. I hope this helps! Precisely, I can't wait to write all about it and share it with you all!

Yes most definitely when you're back in Leeds do let me know! So so hard but it's my passion so I'll keep doing it! Yeah good idea, that's a really good bit of advice to add in and I hope people see this and agree! My boyfriend is a bit like that, he does finance and acts a bit like his degree is much harder than mine but I wouldnt be able to do his and he wouldnt be able to do mine so! <br /><br />I will definately be in touch lovely!
