Yeah, still going to be using laptops but less as they can be VERY distracting :(

My school only allows us to do a maximum of 12 units so right now I'm only doing 11, and next year I'm only doing 10 I don't know if that's good or bad. I hardly use my laptop, I find using hard copies of things is my he wiser to study and keep track of!

I agree with what you said about the hard copy stuff, laptops really get in the way sometimes but they are still useful for additional resources :)

I'd have to say Business Studies since I felt as though I could see the stuff I learnt in real life scenarios (as nerdy as it sounds when my friends and I were walking through a shopping centre we would always try find the promotional strategies that businesses undertook).

Economics is also quite interesting and I found it useful since you broaden your knowledge of the economic world in general by studying it imo.

Honestly there were too many times when I wanted to bang my head against the wall repeatedly while studying Legal Studies but I came to really appreciate doing the subject in the end (both content wise and just the general mechanics of the subject).

I do the exact same thing when I walk past shops... and then I discuss my observations with my parents (who constantly put up with me).
I know I will definitely enjoy all three as I have a strong and growing interest for social sciences !

Yeah I was in the same situation. After doing prelims Business Studies and Commerce in Year 10 I found that my interest lied in Social Sciences, and by that time I decided that I wanted to do Commerce at UNSW (even though at the time it seemed like I wouldn't even receive a 90 ATAR). Social Sciences are subjects that you can definitely do well in as long as you persevere with the hard work and it helps a lot that you have a growing interest in them. :)

That must suck. Economics is so interesting but not many people actually do the course.

Aha did you mean my love for sciences is like your love for social sciences?? I actually liked the legal aspect of commerce but I couldn't afford to take legal because my school only allows 12 units :(
