I applied to study English at Coventry university this year without a real plan. I didn't know what I wanted to do at uni (it was between English and Archaeology) so I went to the careers advisor for... well advise and they encouraged me to go for English because of my subject choices (English lit lan, sociology and psychology) (which I also regretted, apart from English).
It took some time but I managed to convince myself that English was the way for me, but after talking to other English students I don't think I can compete with these students who have a genuine passion of the subject and are able to analyse literature without the teachers giving them cookie cutter answers. And after looking at the career aspects I've realised that none of the options appeal to me.
I'm pretty sure I'm late for clearing as family issues meant that I didn't want to put myself and family through the stress of sorting out a completely new uni and I'm pretty sure my results, BCD, won't get me into any good uni if I drop out and reapply for a different subject, nor am I sure how to do that. I'm just terrified that I got myself down a path that I can't turn back from that won't lead me where I want to go.
Does anybody have any advise on how to fix this, should I just suck it up or try and change course at the uni, leave it a year so I can prove that I am able to study at uni or do it straight away, drop out and reapply (for history or archaeology) should I look for a foundation course? I just have no idea on what to do...
