No. I know you are completely serious and for that you will be sent to unicorn prison where you will be pooped on by green unicorns.

Thank you haha. Music does make me happy and stuff.haha that's awesome, keep with that dream! I also have a dream that is not related to school at all, but I don't want to disclose that on this forum. Even if you don't become a famous artist/band one day, making music and playing will make you a happier person
With my school subjects, I used to really love science in my juniors years and my heart was set on being a scientist. I don't know about that anymore though. My dad encouraged me to do some sort of science when I finish school, so I don't know whether part of that "love" of science I had was just so I wouldn't disappoint my dad if you get my drift. At the moment I can't stand biology and chemistry is ok I guess. I'm just not feeling that love for it anymore. I've almost completely lost interest and I don't know if that is because I had a terrible teacher last year (my teachers this year aren't that amazing either) or if it's because I didn't really love science as much as I thought I did (like maybe it was me not wanting to disappoint my dad that made me stick with it).
On the other hand multimedia ( even though it is stressful) is one of my favourite subjects. I really enjoy that stuff and animation and games design and such seem to interest me more than science at this stage....but my dad thinks in uni i should try and do something more advanced like engineering (robotics and stuff) because it will be interesting and i will "get bored of animation and games design after a while" and after learning all the advanced stuff I can "always go back to learning the basic things like animation and games design". But I really don't know. I feel like part of me wants to do as he says even though its not something id really really really want to do (deep down in my heart a part of me is like.."just no..."). Yeah it's amazing and stuff and to work on robots and things would be cool, but something about animation interests me more.
But yeah idk what I want to do when I'm done with school
Everything is so confusing so i sort of feel like i haven't really got anything to work towards because my favourite subjects (besides multimedia) aren't something i'd like to have a job as in the future.I'm good at history too and I love it so much, but id rather not pursue a career in it.
Music on the other hand has always been a passion of mine. I'd really like to pursue a career in music (even though i don't take the subject). Me and my friends have sort of thought maybe we could start a "band" but at the moment its just us jamming and having fun (and me teaching one of the girls guitar). i don't know >.< everything is confusing >.< i think if i didn't suggest to a friend of mine that we start a band, then id regret it forever. Im so glad i thought of it bc now theres 4 of us who really love music and all have a passion and we all would love to be an awesome band :')
I will take your advice though and thank you

I've been in a really similar situation to yours. I used to be set on becoming an engineer because I loved Physics from Years 7-10, but I've lost interest in it this year, and as a result stopped working hard and switched subjects. Now I'm feeling pretty lost on what to work towards to (kinda same similar to you) but as someone has advised me, just be patient and see what life brings you. Things can change really quickly. You might discover a new interest in the coming 2 years, and that's plenty of time.Thank you haha. Music does make me happy and stuff.

At the end of the day, if your passion is Music or Animation, there's no reason why you shouldn't pursue them

Yeah, I've totally lost interest in science pretty much. I was actually going to take music this year, but it is on the same line as modern history and i couldn't decide between the two so I just picked modern history.I've been in a really similar situation to yours. I used to be set on becoming an engineer because I loved Physics from Years 7-10, but I've lost interest in it this year, and as a result stopped working hard and switched subjects.

I feel like killing myself every biology lesson though, dunno how I'll make it through the next 2 years with that, but it's too late to change now
*sigh*Yeah, that is true! Thanks :3

Yes I certainly get your drift, your dad should understand what you "really really really want to do." Don't do science then if it's something you don't want to do and just by impressing your dad. You'll live an unhappy life that way. It's your life, and doing something you love such as those "passions" of yours: multimedia, game design, animation, and music you'll have a much better career as you'll enjoy it. Starting a band will be awesome, you can even try posting videos on YouTube for fun, get advice or being discovered.. there are many opportunities that arise from YouTube. Handing out CDs to record labels, and trying out street performing/gigs will be a great start.
Most importantly, whatever you do, make sure it's something you enjoy
Absolutely! The time will come and you'll discover something you will want to pursueI've been in a really similar situation to yours.

Hmm interesting question...
Frankly I feel it is half the same as most other years. Teachers repeatedly told us how 'big' of a change year 10 to senior school is .. but it's really not. I mean sure teachers expect more now but hello, they always have!
Every year teachers say that one line, with of course minor changes:
"You are year 7 now, not primary students, this is big school"
"Year 8 now girls, not babies of the school anymore."
"This is year 9, not year 7 or 8. You are in stage 5."
"Year 10! Girls you set the example for all juniors. Next year is senior school"
and now....
"Year 11... senior school! No more fussing girls. You set the example for the rest of the school. Now is the time to work hard, play when you are in Uni." <-- actually had a teacher say this. I'm sure dozens of Uni students can disagree here.
Only real difference is how everyone thinks about it. Teachers and students alike both acting as if these two years determine your life.
This is not the choosing in 'Divergent' guys!
Though I must admit I do bother reading the entire textbook page now when we're assigned questions from the textbook which I never bothered with before

Year 11 is ok. Not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I thought it would get interesting this year, but most of the stuff is just annoying.
Transition has been alright. Still not used to those 8am starts and I'm still always dead tired. Workload is a lot though and that makes me sad because I don't have time for much else anymore
