matureagedstudent try to apply for a job or study to get into uni, the only way you can actually thrive in life

so ig you have analysed each and every 'high scorer' and caught them all cheating

can we like, not be typing random stuff in my journal please- make something separate to do whatever you want to call this 😭😭

a month later

it has been a long while since i yapped here and considering i cannot sleep for the life of me, i suppose i can update with the very little that changed since the last time i wrote...

i have jump-start at monash today which is scary because it's officially the first orientation event i have. already made a friend which is so fun because now im not worrying about going alone. my goal was to make one new friend and here we are reaching that goal before uni even starts (go me!! 😭)

i also got a scholarship yay!! it's $6k a year for the length of my course which is 3 years, meaning over a third of the fees are covered which is a huge relief. i also have an external $1k scholarship which i can spend on myki, a new laptop that i still haven't bought, etc.

it is quite scary that im adulting my way through life right now. still no success on the job side of things and i didn't get the last job i had an interview for, but i keep trying and hoping for the best.

on that note, i should technically be waking up in another hour and 15 minutes so might take a nap lol. i will update with a jump-start debrief afterwards!! take care all πŸ™‚

    That transition from high school kid to responsible university adult life hits you kind of hard, but don't worry! There are plenty around you who have the same feelings and emotions. Orientation is always fun too, and congratulations on your scholarship.
    Make sure you get a healthy sleep cycle going into uni. You're in charge of your own study and learning now, and you won't need to spend all night studying either. Unless it's exam season
