The Avengers is amazing. I love the fandom for the most part. I try to ignore the majority of the fanboys who keep insisting superheroes "can't be gay" though. Those guys are idiots.

Arts is... fantastic. (I'm doing my university's equivalent of Gender Studies next semester!) If you want CHOICE that is the degree to go for. I'm so glad I went for Arts/Med instead of Biomed/Med.

Arts/Science is equally cool, and also offers you EVEN MORE CHOICE. You get to select I think three or four majors and a bunch of electives (though how many really depends on the university you go to, so don't take my word as gospel). Because I'm in an accelerated course I don't get any electives, but that's okay since I did a bunch of science courses last year for fun. Anyway, ARTS is all about the humanities, the PEOPLE (languages, arts, music, sociology, psychology, etc.; arts generally has the most choice of all degrees) whilst science iirc is more about chem, bio, physics, maths, etc. Mixing those two up will give you a fun and eclectic mix, which I think will most definitely help you figure out what EXACTLY you want to do as a career. :)

You are REALLY making me want to go to university NOW. I just want high school to be over! Are you liking University life more than high school?

Hands down without a doubt, university is much better. Though to what degree depends on your point of view. I like it better because the campus is beautiful, everyone I've met has been absolutely lovely and kind and clever and wanting to learn, and the material taught is generally interesting because I chose to enrol in the class (though I do have compulsory required courses that aren't as fun, but they're still more interesting than high school). What I noticed about university first off was how free I felt.

However, some problems with university is that there's isn't the closeness of high school. Friends are easy enough to make, but take a bit more effort to keep because of conflicting timetables (you'll need to make an effort to see them for lunch or something, keep in contact via phone or FB). Lecturers aren't as personal as teachers and you don't have the chance to hand in drafts. All the studying is a self-motivated thing and assessments/exams can be quite stressful (especially for people who work on top of study).

Though I believe with the right time management and the right attitude, you'll get along swimmingly at whichever university you choose to attend. :)
