Search Results: mistakes you wish you could change

I study at UCL and I am doing Information Management with Business. UCL is world's 7th best university. However, I am changing university because everything went wrong in my first year and I find programming difficult.

Now, I am doing my UCAS application where we have to select five universities.

I selected two courses in university of Westminster just in case I don't get a place in one course.

One course is International Business and the second course is just Business Management.

For the third option, I chose Queen Mary university of London to do International Business.

For the fourth option, I chose Royal Holloway to do Management with International Business.

For the fifth option, I chose City University of London to do International Business.

Whilst doing this application, I realised I could have actually applied for Kings College London which is the third best university in the world because I have a distinction star and two distinctions from BTEC Business which is equal to A star and 2 A grades in three A level subjects. However, that university has closed application for 2019, which is a shame.

However, the positive side is the course would have been very difficult. Maybe, it is a blessing in disguise. Also, I believe it is better to change university after a year instead of failing after 3 years of your life. Therefore, it is a blessing in disguise. I struggle in programming, which is studied in year 1 and year 2.

I like personally like University of Westminster and Queen Mary University of London. Westminster university is near my house, it only takes 20 minutes on the train, which is ideal when the lesson begins at 9 am in the morning. However, Queen Mary university of London is better in terms of ranking even though it takes me 2 hours on the train. Do you think I should consider the distance or the ranking?

I will make sure my little siblings don't make the mistakes that I made. Not sure if they will listen to my advice. Wish me luck.

There is no right or wrong answer, I just want to see what people feel compelled to vote for. I want to make a post dedicated to the results. Thank you for participating! <3

Here are the definitions to help you with your decision:

Lust is considered an intense or unrestrained sexual desire.

Desire a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.

" Desire can never be satisfied- That is what makes it so compelling."

Love is created over time through respect, care and other relationship maintenances.

Respect a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. (think friendships)

According to an article on HuffingtonPost it claimed that, "Love is unconditional. The word “unconditional” means that there are no expectations or limitations set. To love unconditionally is a difficult thing, and most humans aren't good at that. But true love really does love without trying to change the other person."

So now I wonder, do we the people misunderstand lust and love when we go out seeking our future partners? If we seek out people who meet our expectations and our conditions, is it because we have fear, insecurities and need to feel a sense of control or is it because we genuinely LOVE a person as they are- a person who is imperfect and prone to mistakes. Do we lack love for ourselves and so we lust after others first? Do we believe in love anymore?

I appreciate you <3
