I’m in year 8 and in my school that’s when we pick our GCSEs (which I’m not quite happy about because it’s quite early) and we have to pick them by 25 March. So far I’m thinking Drama, Photography, Citizenship and Dance (this is in order) but I’m worried I will end up regretting my decision, especially for photography since it’s a new subject. (Same with Citizenship). I’m quite indecisive as well.

Just pick the subjects you like. I.E, If you wanted to study drama A Level at sixth form, such as https://www.solihullsfc.ac.uk/course/drama-theatre/ ‘Learners need not necessarily have studied Drama to GCSE level,’
It is important to realise that different secondary schools will offer different optional gcse subjects, because of that, if you dont choose a specific gcse (photography), it doesnt limit you in studying photography in the future (at A Level or university).
You have chosen some nice subjects - maths, and science, can be quite content heavy - so choosing gcse’s with coursework can reduce your number of exams in year 11 (and be less stressful do deal with by being more practical focused, less things to memorise).
