I already wrote this out once, but I forgot to upload an image (FUUUUUUUUUUU-)
So I'm at a point where I just have to decide what I'm going to study and stick to it.
Physics - My passion! The only negative: difficulty. I've seen a few past exam papers and they look f!"@ing hardcore,
especially considering I'll only have a month to study per exam. Of course I realise it would appear difficult, not having
learned the material, but I'm still worried about failing.
Medicine - Very interested in human anatomy and the problem solving (deductive reasoning) aspect associated with the subject.
Particularly interested in trauma surgery. However, I don't know much about the realities of medicine and being a doctor, so I'm
worried about discovering that I don't actually like it when it's too late. Also, the admissions process is fu- anyway.
Economics - Another interesting one. What I like about this subject is the apparent scope of it, its versatility. My impression is
by studying Economics I would have a very broad knowledge base. Drawback: employment prospects are significantly worsened
by not going to a top 5 university, e.g. Oxbridge, LSE, UCL, Warwick. I'm located in the UK, by the way.
Computer Science - I definitely think I could do this one. I've always been interested in computers and their workings.
The job itself (software developer/engineer) seems relatively comfortable, with flexible working hours (apparently employers
don't give you a set number of hours to work, but rather give you a deadline by which to finish the project), my only concern
would be sitting in front of a screen all day might be stressful (you know, it's kind of acidic).
Negative: the kind of people that study this at university; you know the type, watch The Big Bang Theory, "huhu I'm such a nerd,"
wearing thick non-prescription glasses; and having to do group projects with them.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Am I missing something? Any glaring indicators of what I should be studying?
My gut tells me to go Physics, but there's a nagging in the back of my head, I'm worried it will be too difficult and I'll lose
motivation.
Thanks
