I'd say that you should go with what you feel is best for you and that it will be something you will enjoy and get something out of. College can be a scary thing especially when you have to choose a subject to study. I remember when I had to decide what I wanted to do in college and I thought about the things that I enjoy the most. I'm always here though if you need any help with subject choices. Hmm, if you could choose anything to study what would you be interested in?.
Best wishes,

It's great you're thinking about college and that you have so many interests! What I'd say is that once you start uni you might be able to study more than one subject, or major in one field and get a minor in another, or you could also find a career path that encompasses all your interests. So you shouldn't be too worried about abandoning some of them to focus on just one, however if you do want to gather more information about particular careers here you can search for jobs and find out what they entail and if they might be the right fit for you: https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/explore-careers
The National Careers Service provide careers information, advice and guidance. They can help you make decisions on learning, training and work at all stages in your career. The helpline is open Monday to Friday 8am - 8pm and Saturdays 10am-5pm on 0800 100 900. You can email and webchat via their website.
A major is the subject you're getting your bachelor's degree in, but some unis let you take additional courses in another discipline and at the end of the degree you can have a 'minor' in a degree course that's not your own. It doesn't hold the same value as an actual degree as you take less courses than a person majoring in that particular discipline, but still many people decide to take one that complements their degree well. For example a person could 'major' in Business and 'minor' in Marketing. It's good for them to be related in some way but they do not necessarily have to be that close, for example i know someone who majored in criminology with a minor in international relationships.
Take care
