So very soon I have to decide what to study for my dissertation, which is exciting! The problem? I love biology, but it’s quite a broad subject area. And I don’t know what my favorite part is, which makes specialising in difficult. There are two fields which I am completely torn between, which is very frustrating. If someone could just pick for me, that would be great…
Now, I know from experience that decisions seem harder at the time than they actually are, which is why I thought this was important to address. you see, three years ago I spent ages carefully choosing which university to attend. I ordered about 20 prospectuses online and spent hours using them to choose where to apply. In the end it didn’t really matter. I didn’t end up where I thought I would. I missed getting into my first choice university, which I completely had my heart set on, and ended up a long way from home. But I love it! I have become even more enthusiastic about my subject, and the university I am at is brilliant.

| You have to make the most of the path you choose |
So whether you are deciding which A levels to take, which university to apply to or what to study for your dissertation, just remember that whatever happens, it is not the end of the world. At the time it feels like the biggest, most important dilemma that could ruin your life forever if you get it wrong. But its not (trust me). Whatever you do, wherever you end up, as long as you throw yourself into it with enthusiasm and determination, it will be alright in the end. And actually, you will probably enjoy it more than if everything had gone exactly to plan!
So now I just have to make a decision.
