IB Subjects

In this blog I will be ranking my IB subjects in order of importance. First off, let me tell you what IB subjects I take...

1. Business and Management HL
2. Economics HL
3. English Literature HL
4. Physics HL
5. Maths SL
6. Spanish ab initio

Here is my ranking:

1. Business Studies  I decided to put this first for two reasons. First, This the the subject that I am naturally most interested in and take pride in learning, I enjoy lessons and homework, and even if I didn't take it as a subject, I would take it upon myself to find out what was happening in the business world. The second reason is that Business Studies, along with Economics are two subjects that are the most relevant to my future, as I plan on taking a course in university related to these subjects. The reason I did not pick Economics over Business Studies is that I have been taking Business for a longer time.

2. Economics: I have never taken Economics, meaning I do not know much about the subject but what I do know is that it goes hand in hand with Business, making it important for my future as well. This subject is about analysis of economies around the world and is more of a global subject rather than business, which is very individualized.

3. English Literature: This subject is one I am very keen on as I consider it an art and enjoy reading texts from authors around the world from different time periods. Analyzing and understanding these texts and spotting underlying meanings and the wisdom intertwined in the writing is useful, as it allows insight on your own life and own experiences. Although, in the large scale of things, it will amount to a hobby and won't be that important to my overall success.

4. Spanish ab initio: Another subject I am new to, I took Spanish in the place of French, which I did not enjoy very much and did not have an interest in. I am taking Spanish as a new start to the challenge of learning another language, which I am optimistic about.

5. Physics: I am not that interested in Physics, or any science for that matter, I simply took Physics because I was required to take a science and Physics was the one I was best at.

6. Maths: Over the past few years, I have had a loosing interest in all things quantifiable and calculated, as I find it rudimentary and forced. There is no imagination involved, no space for creativity, no form of expression. I feel locked down and unable to let my mind flow, instead, we must all follow the same certain steps... Logic is overrated.
