Hey all!!!
 This is totally irrelevant but the only thing getting me through this stressful period of HSC (besides procrastinating on ATARnotes  ;)) is having something to look forward to once I finish my last exam. Just wondering what everyone is planning and looking forward to most (i.e. binge watching a tv show, going to the beach... etc)?
i remember when i finished my last exam of high school i walked to the teachers lounge and said goodbye to my favourite teacher and hugged her and said i hope i make u proud then i went home and slept and played video games for about 9 weeks straight (best 9 weeks of my life)

For me its binge reading all the books that I've been wanting to read this year. Speaking of, does anyone have any suggestions of a good series to get into that I can add to my book bucket list?
if you like books written from an almost biblical sort of storytelling format based in ancient times i highly recommend the richest man in babylon. its basically a financial self help book that teaches the lessons through stories that occured in ancient babylon. its a great book to introduce people to the adult world and how to manage their finances etc. and generally build wealth over a career.

Just thought I'd add that I'm eager to read this as well! Communication at UTS is something I've been considering for a while, or combined law/communication but I'm not too sure at the moment.

That's exactly what my options are! As well as global studies at UTS

That's honestly the cutest thing! I've definitely spent a lot more time hanging with my fave teachers before my exams. I literally just walk into the science staffroom and sit down and chat to all the teachers (I've actually been doing it all year whenever I didn't want to go to a certain class). The head teacher has even joked that I'm just another member of staff because of how frequently I am in there hahaha

I read the word finance and I cringed! Im more into the narrative, forget yourself stories, mostly romance and fantasy so it doesnt exactly sound like my cup of tea but I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for the suggestion!

That's awesome! I'm currently working on a piece that's around 8th grade.
I quit piano when i started high school actually and then picked it back up just before senior years began, best decision!

That's really good to hear! That's what I did too- I was so surprised that I still knew how to play my pieces from previous grades even though I hadn't played for like 5 years. :)

Yeah its amazing what you remember after not playing for a while. I feel like its kind of like riding a bike, you never really forget everything.

Yes I definitely do!!! I'm going to write up a kind of deconstruction of how the UTS Comms course works. It's confusing from the outside :) I'll link it to you when I do!

Ooo yes please would love to read it!!!
Do you just do Comms or a double degree? I wanted to do law/comms but don't think I'll get in lol so I'm thinking of doing Comms & International studies. Would that be a good combination or is the work load too much?

I'm enrolled in a double bachelor now with international studies, but I'll be withdrawing from that asap (more to come on this in my post lol). Law/comms is a really popular option - but you definitely should consider why you want to do each one. My friends say that 75% of their time is on law, 25% is on comms. And, if you don't do law and you only do comms - your last exam EVER is your HSC exam! There are no comms exams ;)

International Studies is a really great option. If this is the path you take - you only study comms in your first year and international studies starts in the second year. So the work load is definitely balance-able in the first year, and it gradually increases at a maintainable level :)
