I had a couple of options, but what I'm about to study I'm definitely interested in/passionate about, and good at too. I'm pretty good at learning languages and love learning about different cultures, their history and politics too to see how it's shaped. Plus the skills you gain from most arts degrees are quite useful and transferable, e.g. analysing different things and writing essays about them. I'd much rather be interested in the content so I'm glad I chose it, even if it did take me a bit longer to realise this.
