So we all have regrets - and one thing I have always regretted was my choice to not take art at university level.
My choice for this was because of the belief that doing Art would not get me a job. Which was silly because back when I was a graduate jobs were so easily come by (ah yes the good old days!). I ended up taking English and Psychology.....and I have no idea why!
I did not enjoy English at A-Level - apart from the novels we read - I wasn't brilliant at writing essays and I was never cut out for Academia. However I loved Art at A-level. I spent hours willingly on my work - and gained an A - through sheer love the work came easily. Anyone who really knows me will know I loathe hard work of any kind!
Its something that drives me mad every so often.
I hated university. I had zero passion for the subjects I chose and focused on my social life rather than doing any serious studying. You can't pass university exams with half-assed studying - unless you are a genius....I am not! I never 'got' university. I never understood independent study - simply because I had no interest. I think had I done Art I would have done well.
So now all these years on I keep Art as my hobby....and we will never know what I could have gone on to do.
