As per title, I am looking for inspiration/suggestions on how to spend all my free time now that VCE has ended. Also looking to kill time by reading stories of your more exciting life haha

Here are some things I've been doing:
- Work 3 hours every weekday
- Yoga/pilates classes 3-4 times a week.
- Catching up with friends (going for lunch, movies etc.)
- Going shopping / walking aimlessly around CBD
- Went to NGV for the first time haha
- Spending most of my time watching dramas/tv tbh (I can almost feel my eyesight deteriorating)
- A lot of napping
I didn't know there were so many hours in the day... =_=

Please share what you've been getting up to (holiday? schoolies?)! :)

Haven't just finished VCE, but... wasting my spare time reading about marketing, cognitive/behavioural psychology, NLP (hypnosis is next up so beware), CSS, the Regency period (aka Georgette Heyer novels) and cleaning toilets.

Why?  Don't know.  They have no relevance to anything (except the last-named item) but they're fun (ditto).
VCE (2014): HHD, Bio, English, T&T, Methods

Uni (2021-24): Bachelor of Nursing @ Monash Clayton

-Ive been helping my aunt out a lot because she has decided to create her own NGO that focuses particularly on my homeland (which is obvs a developing country) . I've been writing like content for her site and like helping her out with the certain language to use and stuff like that.

Ok wow. everyone is crazy on here, feel like i've been doing very little haha
- Mostly i've been baking food for my mum's work at the red cross. her clients are refugees so i like feeding them haha
- Reading! i've finished dune by frank herbert, and almost finished anna karenina. mid way through eragon and starting the pillars of the earth (ken follett). also about to start the wind up bird chronicles. murakami and i didn't really get along in 1Q84, so hopefully wind up bird changes things!!
- Ordering and arranging things of tutoring. Re-reading Macbeth and Maus, familiarizing myself with the new study design, getting resources and lesson plans ready!
- I can now go for walks with my family members!!! Never had time for that in vce!!!
- Stressing mostly. I'm so obsessed with preparing for the future that i've watched like a bajillion of those results day reaction videos. does anyone else do this????? once i exhausted the vce supply, i went on to gcse reactions, a level reactions, hsc reactions etc. Just so like, I know second hand at least how it feels to see the results.
