Maths: took it as I was encouraged by my GCSE Maths teacher, who told me I had a 'gift'. Ended up dropping it at Christmas in my 1st year. So hard, kudos to everyone who scores high in it, I couldn't manage it.
Film Studies: took it because it was my dream to become a screenwriter. The only time screenwriter was mentioned was when the teacher praised Shane Meadows's This Is England script. Completely misunderstood the subject, even when the college open day teacher said that all aspects of film making would be covered- yeah ****ing right. Completed the first year, dropped it afterwards- big disappointment.
