So, my life
First of all, this isn't a rant about me hating my life at the moment. To be honest, I'm quite happy with the way things are, it could be a lot worse. I mean, I got the best girlfriend in the world <3
Just sitting here just now though I think I've decided something. A little bit of background info is needed first though. I'm a 17 year old guy in his last year of school. For the last 3 years I've been working on getting my goal: going to Uni and studying Astrophysics and Astronomy, something I've always loved and wanted to do. Recently though I've been finding school really hard. I'm completely flunking maths (half yearly exam I got 17/72), and I'm not doing great in Physics, but not exactly bad either. Though I'm 19th in the class, pretty much the whole smart-side of the grade is doing Physics so 19th is decent I guess.
However, I recently decided that if I don't get my marks needed to enter the Astro courses, I could always go to Music college. I've been playing the guitar now for...um.. 9 years and it's something I absolutely love doing. When I'm on the net listening to my music, I'm usually also playing along to any song I know with my electric guitar. I'm not a complete ace with the guitar, but I'm not exactly bad either. I'm a great back-up guitarist, a rhythm guitarist, a bassist even if I need to be. Me and a few friends might be starting a band even. And so I've decided on being a musician as a possible career path.
Just now thinking about all this though...I'm wondering whether I should bother with Uni at all? It'd take a lot of stress off me at school than worrying about the hard subjects of Physics and Maths, and let me concentrate on Music. (and English I suppose) I just don't know if I'm completely comfortable with throwing everything away that I've been working towards for the last 3 years for something that I might end up never going anywhere in.
Anyways there's my thoughts at the moment, any comments are welcome and appreciated. =] Thanks.

Just get better with the mathematics. They're easy as hell.

Even if you decide to do music after all, it would be great to have something to fall back on.

i think you should try and get your math and physics grade up and go to collage
i know its alot eaiser said then done, but having a carrear as a musician is also MUCH MORE easier said then done
get what im saying?
