    Recently I've been really struggling with geography, and it's probably because I firstly overthink everything (I do maths and physics too) and secondly I always overprioritise physics, it's such a terrible habit but hopefully since it's not too late I'll work my hardest and follow these tips!

      @starlight1691 5 років тому +1

      @@amnas9077 okay so, my physics teacher always tells me "maths is the language of physics". Maths is super duper helpful, and if you're looking to do any kind of engineering job in the future, most Russel group unis require atleast maths. Think about what career you may like, or what subjects you prefer and look for a career that way! If you despise maths, don't do it, and physics will be really hard too if you don't like maths. But yes! Maths is important, and I suggest you study it because it's an easy A and assists with physics, and Geography too (statistics) 💜

    Why did I choose geography? I’m better at history, but I found it boring, and you have to write SA’s. In geography I thought it’d be simpler, but I still fund it boring and I’m bad lol! It doesn’t help that when my teacher talks to explain things, he waffles on about stuff and I go to sleep
