German for sureeee. I think I only picked it cos I did well at GCSE. But A level is so hard. And it's not even fun. Like I can deal with things being hard (all a levels are hard to some degree cos of all the content) but the fact that I can't even enjoy it at all is just really annoying. Can't wait to finish it lol. Only a few months left and I'm so ready to give up 😭. So glad I'll be done soon. What about you?
You know you can change your A Level choices if you're not happy with them.

I started Year 12 doing History, Law, Spanish, and French. I dropped History and Law halfway through Year 12, and took up Classical Civilisation at the start of Year 13. I then did another year of Year 13 to finish off the Classical Civilisation.

Psychology 😭. The content it's just A LOT to remember with facts and case studies plus the amount of writing you have to do which I'm not a fan of. I thought I would be able to handle essay writing but doing psychology made me realise how much I hate writing essays 😭.

And that's exactly what I would've done if I'd thought of it sooner. But I'm in Yr13 now and it's much too late unfortunately. Another problem is there really isn't any other a level (that my school provided) that I was really passionate about. So I'd probably would've end up resenting anything else I switched to anyway. Thanks for being quick advise tho 😊
