Happy

Ladies and gents!
I seem to be posting less and less but this is for a good reason. My life at present is quite busy, with college and a job, I am also taking driving lessons. I started them in January and booked my theory test not long into them, spare time has been utilised in preparation of this test. Despite my worries and nerves, I passed the theory test! This I am very happy about, then in the same week I received news from the one university I had heard nothing from. Brunel university, west London had offered me a scholarship. The next week I had been given a conditional offer to attend. A happy month I should say!
Also, with the release of the new Tomb Raider, I have had little free time to blog, excuse me! I'm actually writing this blog on my way to work, so I will post again soon!

Christmas is upon us!

I have been slacking with my blogging! Firstly, there is the lack of time I have, juggling college, college work and a job. I have just had a sort of epiphany about my future. I was sat here, cleaning my room as per until I felt the urge to do college work. But not the college work that needs to be done, not the fun stuff but a game review for a pointless English lesson I have once a week. This proves to me that when it comes to work, I'd rather do the writing, weather its because i enjoy it more or because it's easier. from this, I gathered I would be better off studying writing as the work wouldn't be as such a chore.
My advance to others has always been, do what you're good at, not what you like doing. The reason for this:

If you have to do a whole career on what you like, you will do that much work that it will change from a hobby to a chore and you will dislike it.
If you do what you're good at, you will not have to find motivation to work, it will come naturally to you and will never be forced. you then still have your hobbies to enjoy and release the stress from the work.
I should listen to myself more instead of offering others advice.

On a lighter note, all my Christmas shopping is done and dusted, I'm about to wrap some of them. Getting excited now although I don't feel the spirit is there just yet!

I hope to report back in the next few days as I shall be going to the clothes show live <3

WHAT TO DO?

As I progress through my second year at college, I have doubts on where I want my life to head career wise.
 Throughout my life, many paths have been my ambition, including:
 astronaut, astronomer, astrologer, physicist, artist, CSI, lyricist, poet, author, illustrator, musician, singer, fashion designer, fashion blogger, editor, presenter, local MP and finally - Game designer.

That's a pretty long list of options.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO!
It's pretty optimistic if I did  know what I wanted to do, but still, most people are applying for universities. Is that the right path for someone who's confused?
As much as I love my job, I don't want my position at McDonald's to become my career.

Here's my dilemma, if I go to uni confused, I'd have wasted and hold a debt of £30,000 with no gain. If I don't go, I'll stay working 'just for now', but I'll never quit. 
If I were to take another college course, I wouldn't know what to pick?!
