So I’m currently in Year 10 and my subjects are gonna be English (Cuz my school doesn’t offer Lit 😔😔) Methods (Hopefully lol), Chinese, Geography, Chemistry, and Economics. But for my backups I’m thinking between 3 (I get to pick 2 backups). They are Biology, Legal, and Ancient History

In terms of my career the obvious choice will be to do legal but the teachers are bad, and I’ve heard the content is boring. Then ancient history is quit appealing but I haven’t done history since year 8 so it would take some catchup. And the main appeal of bio is I’ll probably get my science teacher this year for it and she’s amazing, and I’ve heard that there’s some content overlap with chem so it should make chem easier??

Any insights would be appreciated on if bio or legal is harder? My brother did ancient so I know exactly what’s expected, the difficulty, the workload, ect. thank you!

So I’m in Year 10, located in Brisbane, Turing 16 in a couple months and have to pick subjects for 11 and 12 in a couple months. My passion is definitely for climate change and environmental related problems. My original thought it was be a scientist of some sort but they don’t actually help solve problems unless they create or find something new and they have to do math which I would rather avoid, and fieldwork which I don’t want to be my full time work. So I’ve landed on being a Policy analyst/advisor or something around those lines. The big picture is to work my way to being a UN climate Negotiator, that would be my “dream job” you could say. But obviously you need a bunch of workplace experience before you can do that so in terms of employment post-uni I wanna know what routes would be my best option.

I originally thought to do a BA in Climate Science at QUT, it’s only around $9000 a year for 3 years. Then do a masters in some sort of policy/polisci/IR. UQ offers a masters in IR or Governance and Public Policy (both at around the 30-40k mark). This would hopefully land me cool niche climate-policy jobs which would be extremely fulfilling. The only thing is would a masters in those areas be hard to do without a BA in those areas?

Or there’s a second option. I do a BA in Advanced Political Science and IR (Honours) at Griffith and do a double major in Public Policy, then I’m thinking Chinese (as I’m studying it in Year 11 and 12 and will help me land potential UN jobs I assume as a second language is kinda mandatory.) I could also switch from Chinese to something like Economics, idk if that would get me more straight employability pls let me know. Then I would get a Masters in Governace and public policy or, a Masters in IR.

Or for my masters/ maybe BA I could do environmental management. But idk if that would land me a policy oriented job? Any guidance on that would be appreciated.

Another very important thing to consider is that the climate science BA would cost $27000 total, whereas the Griffith PoliSci one costs $64,000. So option 1 total would be a total of $58000 and option 2 would be $95000. Yikes. The PoliSci and IR BA has a guaranteed work placement/internship though which’s would look amazing on a graduate position job application. But on the other hand maybe having a specialisation in climate would make me standout against other people. If I don’t do climate science and do option 2 I can take environmental policy minors/courses. In my Masters. Would employers even take that into consideration and see me as an environmental-policy person? And the turnoff of doing climate science as a BA is that the first year is just all math and the three sciences, so I would study straight physics which I don’t like. Then throughout the degree there’s a total of 2-3 math courses and I lowkey am bad at math but am doing methods (math but advanced) in year 11 and 12 but lowkey might drop down depending on how bad I go. So yeah and at the end of the degree is a capstone thing where you do a research project which doesn’t appeal to me. So that degree probably isn’t gonna be the funnest and I’m gonna have to do a lot of math which I don’t like.

Any guidance would be helpful with what to do in respect to what jobs there are and whatnot.

Outside of battle and stuff, my Lauma has 1360 EM. How much do yall have?

So like isn’t it a concept album about her experiencing domestic violence?? Cuz wasn’t she in an abusive relationship??? Some people are saying it’s about her relationship with alcohol, and others are saying it’s about her time at a cult in New York. Ermmm excuse me since when was she part of a cult?? 💀💀

So like which one is it, or is it kind of about all three.

Just wanna preface saying I love this album so much and I think it’s her best one.

1. Want that too
2. Messier
3. Hurt my feelings
4. Greedy
5. Stay done
6. Guilty conscience
7. Think later
8. We’re not alike
9. Cut my hair
10. Grave
11. Run for the hills
12. Plastic palm trees
13. Calgary
14. Exes

If you have any questions feel free to ask them :)

So I’ve decided to combine some of her songs into one album that follows a storyline.

1. West Coast
2. National Anthem
3. Ultraviolence
4. Norman Fucking Rockwell
5. Get free
6. Radio
7. Summertime Sadness
8. Born to Die
9. Diet Mountain Dew
10. Brooklyn Baby
11. Art Deco
12. Margaret
13. Mariners Apartment complex
14. Cinnamon Girl

This album follows the story of a girl who meets who she thinks is the love of her life. It opens with her being drawn to this powerful feeling. Then in national anthem we see her praising him and feeling happy about the relationship. Then it takes a turn and she starts to experience domestic violence. She reflects on how harmful and toxic he was, and how these patterns seem to keep repeating themselves, but she wants to be free. Then comes more longing and sadness, missing the “love” that she had. On born to die, she reaches peak pessimism as she thinks life has lost all meaning. Now is the New York act of the album. This could be taken literally as her going to new York and trying to forget about her relationship, or more metaphorically about her filling her life with vices to try and escape the thoughts she has, but ultimately falling short and realises it’s all worthless in art deco. Then the final act, is where she finds internal peace and happiness. Ending with the most beautiful song known to man - cinnamon girl, about her wanting real love, love tha loves her back. That outro is so stunning it HAS to end this album.

So yeah this was me weaving her properly songs into a more emotional deep body of work, cuz yall be hating on the popular stuff.

1. Winter Woman

2. Click Clack Symphony

3. Goodby Henry

4. WHERE IS MY HUSBAND

5. I hate the way I look today

What do yall think??

1. I’ll remember tonight

2. Potential

3. Come Closer

4. Back to Friends

5. Homewrecker
