So I'm 19, I took a gap year and now I'm going to uni in September to study IR and Politics. However, I originally applied for Film Studies, and before that, Computer Science.
Basically my mindset went CS (it'll give me a good job and money), and then was like "I don't really enjoy the subject, let me pick something I 'like' ", so picked Film Studies. Realised I only liked film studies because I liked the idea of being creative and expressing myself but I wasn't sure if I'd be good at it as a course. Then I had the realisation that "I want to study something because I'm genuinely interested in knowing more and learning new things, I don't care where it leads me", so picked IR and Politics. But now I feel like that's the wrong choice and although I'll definitely learn something, I'm learning it to make me more versed in conversations about politics.
I now think English Literature and History would be a good fit, I adore the idea of being able to make connections and find meaning in literature and media, I love watching video essays analysing a book, or a TV show episode or a movie and I want to be able to be as critically minded as they are, and History always interests me, it heavily involves politics so that's a win, and it just seems like it would broaden my knowledge.
But I'm scared I'll just have another "realisation" and want to move on. Am I in love with the idea of learning but don't learn. Please help, its making me insanely depressed recently.
