So you're bored of studying comparative history, or boggled by maths that made school look laughably easy and want to change into something that will surely hold your interest better than the apparently interesting course you signed up for when you were hopelessly naive about college. Here's some inspiration for you all.

9) The Sociology Of Miley Cyrus
Like most of us, you grew up with the once innocent teen star who turned into a bizarre creature composed of aggressive nudity, drugs and bad hairstyles. What better means of studying the crazy world we live in, than to study a woman at its epicentre?
