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.

      There's also so much to be happy about too. Feeling sad about this hard journey is completely normal and understanding, but it's almost over. Just a few exams, and you're done with high school

      I've heard the exams have been very weird this year. How are you finding them in comparison to practice/past exams?

        FinFin-3rdYearUni ive only had english so far which was a new study design so no real comparison for part B, the wuestions for my text in part A seemed fine but it was a pretty bland analysing argument piece imo, like there didnt feel like there was a much as there should be to analyse for an exam but idk

          I see. Well, best of luck for the other exams. Fingers crossed they cover everything that you're revising for

          FinFin-3rdYearUni well i don’t do biology but apparently that had content out of the scope of the study design (and as i am aware, the function of a golgi apparatus is not in the study design, let alone worth 3 marks).
          the general maths exam 1 was quite easy in my opinion, only managed to get 3 questions incorrect (circled my answers in the question book and used maffsguru solutions), but a lot of people did struggle due to the tedious nature of questions.

              FH Explaining the function of the golgi apparatus would probably be in the study design, and possibly covered in Unit 1 or 2, but I agree, it shouldn't be a 3 mark question. I would have expected it to be a multiple choice question, maybe

                FH to add onto this, psych was also horrendous !! gen 2 was fun ngl

                    FH psych was so weird, it like wasn't entirely awful imo but so many of those questions were worded in such strange ways?

                      Short update:
                      I'm done VCE exams and I cried a bit while driving to the libary (cramming for my HES exam in Melbourne tommorow).
                      Mum bought me a surprise cake yesterday (I proceeded to eat 3/4 of it in one sitting... not the first time in the last month either.... oops) and I'm getting takeaway tonight. Plus tommorow night I'm going to an 18+ marvel parody show in Melbourne and having dinner + drinks with a couple friends which should be good.
                      I haven't broken down properly yet but it's so strange to think that when I get home and take off my uniform tonight I'll never have to put it on again.
                      Anyways signing off for now until I start sobbing in the library because if I keep thinking about this I will.
                      Thanks to everyone on here who I've met/ shared this experience with this year, you guys are awesome and I hope you're all doing well 🙂

                              On the train up to Melbourne, doing some last minute cramming lol. It's multichoice so the more prac questions I do, the more chance answers will hopefully be familiar and I can make slightly educated geusses.
                              I wish I'd had this exam next week so I could actually revise for it but oh well

                              Done all my exams and cried a little yesterday, haven't broken down properly yet but I know it'll happen soonish.
                              And oh my god, my first 18+ show and it was so funny but damn. I feel it would have been very different to experience if I wasn't asexual lol.
                              I dressed up as Loki for it and a couple people took photos of/with me which is always awesome and dinner/drinks with friends was so good! (I tried a pina colada which was pretty mid but then I had a pineapple, caramel and popcorn cocktail which I quite enjoyed).
                              Anyways I don't have much else to say, Goodluck to anyone still going and congrats to everyone who has finished!

                                It's all finally done and dusted. 13 years of compulsory education is now complete. You must feel so proud of yourself too. Any plans for what to do between now and results day? There's plenty of time to be a free adult now, so just kick back and relax, or maybe go on an adventure
