I am in my first year of college and I'm studying 3 a levels, media studies, criminology, and sociology. my secondary school teachers always told me that i perform better under non exam conditions which means i do better in course work and that i should chose a more hands on subject and preferably a BTEC, but my stupid self took it as an insult, BTEC seemed like the easy option for those who didnt do well in school. now that im studying 3 ESSAY SUBJECTS, with my only weakness in school being essay writting, im debating wether i did the right thing buy choosing these subjects. in addition i live very far from the college so travel (although not a problem right this second as we're in lockdown using remote learning) is very expensive and tiring as i have to go across london. this leaves me very unmotivated and exhausted. i am really struggling and im even getting warnings of being thrown out due to my poor grades and keeping up with the tons of work. i am thinking to change to a local college that is a short bus ride from home that offers BTECs (as my college doesnt) and study a level 3 business BTEC. i am not too worried about uni as im not very keen on going, so i dont care if thats what unis want. I always wanted to study business but missed my maths grade and had to do all three subjects that i never had the intention of studying. so I'm thinking, should i leave? have a fresh start, study what I'm passionate about, be able to focus on that one subject, be more local but spend that extra year in college but achieve a decent grade rather than finishing my a levels with grades z.
someone help, am i doing the right thing?
ps.i aspire to be a business woman in the future, so i know its something im really passionate about
