Driving might be a bit daunting at first. Just practice in an empty carpark, or quiet suburban streets. I've had my license for four years now, and CBD Melbourne traffic is nightmarish to me. I've only done it once, and I don't think I want to do it again. I prefer the rural highways and freeways, where there's more space, and plenty to see. You'll get the hang of it eventually, don't worry

    FinFin-3rdYearUni I don't have a great ability to concentrate on multiple things at once so I start feeling headachey/nauseas and stuff when driving. Absolutely cannot stand freeways/highways and would rather pass away than do CBD lol. I'm alright at the driving itself it's just never something I'll really enjoy and I'll still avoid it where possible I think

      Oh well, it's still good to have your license when necessary, like going to a doctor's appointment, or driving someone to and from the supermarket.
      And when you finish your exams, the car is a great place to scream, because you'll be alone, and it traps noise from disturbing anyone else

        FinFin-3rdYearUni I already started screaming in my first ever drive lol (after a crying breakdown almost immideately out of pulling out of the carpark lol)

          I went dress shopping with @soupsthetic at Melbourne DFO this weekend to buy a dress for my graduation dinner. Today is my second last day of school (and my last hospitality class) and it doesn't feel real and I have a horrible feeling I will be excessively crying in front of everyone the next few days.
          I get to wear one of my cosplays to school for our celebration day which is fun tho (my friends are doing matching costumes but like I don't have the time to put together something new plus if I have cosplays there i have spent hundreds on I should use them yaknow?)
          ANyways hope everyone is going well and to all my fellow year 12's, I hope you're doing okay in this last little stretch before exams 🙂
          It's a stressful time so if you need /want someone to rant or talk to I'm on here almost too much plus you can use the AN messaging function if you just want someone to talk to.
          Happy Monday!

          It's my last day of classes today, I will never do an English or hospitality class (still have psych and business after when I am updating) and goddamn its all coming too soon. There will be lots of tears from me in the near future I suspect (have already cried a couple times lol)

            tears are completely normal… life as we know it is about to change. i think it’s important to use the time though to reflect on the last 6 years, and look forward to what lies ahead.
            hope the grad dinner goes well too!! soak it in, and live in the moment, and make the most of it all. we are almost there!!

              FH Thankyou! Tommorow I'm probs gonna be a mess cause its our actual ceremony and stuff + our dress up but at least I get to dressup as a genshin character lol. It feels like so much has changed since year seven, I mean we went through a damn pandemic and everything. Terrifying to think about what comes next

                    Saying goodbye to it all is hard. Be sure to thank all your teachers, and keep in contact with friends over the exam and post-school period. Crying is normal, especially because it feels like it comes at you so quickly

                      University is an amazing time. You all have so much to look forward to. The independence, the lecturers, the subjects. The workload is bigger, but you have more time and ease to get everything done. A 1500 word essay becomes nothing after a while.

                      Won't be long until you'll all be on campus

                        Update: sobbed like a frigging baby multiple times yesterday, cosplaying was fun, danced with friends, the school gave us some gifts, dinner was pretty good and now I'm back at school today to study lol (not highly motivated atm but I've turned up and have stuff in front of me which is a start). I also got back my letter I wrote to myself at the start of year 12 camp and that made me cry. And the graduation had a video montage using an ai song a teacher made about my cochort and it was so funny but god I cried so hard.
