have no idea what to study at uni

i thought i wanted to do law but realised that it wouldnt suit my personality at all. Im taking maths, english lit and history currently at a levels, and have no clue what I want to do, although I know i definitely want to go to university. Any suggestions for my a level combination?

Hi, I'm a third year maths student at Lancaster University and thought I could offer some suggestions of things you could take with your A-level combination:
Mathematics (at Lancaster we don't require a Further Maths A-level): https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/mathematics-bsc-hons-g100/#course-entry
I'd highly suggest this degree if you enjoy maths. I've had a great time doing this degree.
English: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/english-literature-ba-hons-q300/#course-entry
History: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/history-ba-hons-v100/#course-entry
Accounting and Finance: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/accounting-and-finance-bsc-hons-n400/#course-entry
Architecture: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/architecture-ba-hons-k100/#course-entry
Business Management: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/business-management-bsc-hons-n102/#course-entry
MORSE: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/mathematics-operational-research-statistics-and-economics-morse-bsc-hons-gln0/
Economics: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/economics-bsc-hons-l100/
Criminology: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/criminology-ba-hons-m930/#course-entry

I hope this gives you a few ideas, I'm sure there are lots of other different degrees you could take if you wanted to.

Is there any particular topic in your current subjects (or outside them) that you find yourself wanting to learn more about in your free time - listening to podcasts, watching documentaries/dramas, reading books or magazines or blogs. The sort of thing you find yourself disappearing down a YouTube or wikipedia hole about and lose yourself in?
