If you've ever wished you had taken more creative subjects in school, you're not alone.
A new survey of 1,000 Brits aged 18 to 24 found that 72% wish they had taken more creative subjects such as music, PE, art, and design, and that 31% feel they're more creative than academic, the Telegraph reports.
The same number say such subjects would have helped them express themselves and 36% say they would have been more confident if they'd taken more creative subjects.
