After my VCE exams I crashed for some days, then the study guilt kicked back in again and I spent a day watching maths videos. Later, I attended a leadership camp for 18-25 y/o called RYLA and went camping a few more times (with friends and family (separately).
After these exams I'll be running a year 8 STEM camp, going camping, and setting up a start up business with a friend
What are you hoping to do after exams?
Catch up on sleep? Indulge in gaming? Finish a project you've been working on? Go travelling?

Definitely travelling! I'll be going to New Zealand during Christmas and Indonesia in January so I can't wait to waste money lmao. I'll also be going out a lot (most likely to the city) because my dad's not even letting my mum ask me to help her take my cat to the vet -_- And I'll definitely be working towards my P's since I haven't driven since January (perhaps I'm foreshadowing a new accountability/motivation journal?). Apart from that, I can resume my volunteering with the NGO that I joined at the beginning of the year (they know that I have exams at the moment). I'll also be spending more time working out (I've gained so much weight from stress eating my mum called me out saying "Stop snacking you're getting fat" ;-;).

I don’t have finals this semester so I’ve already finished uni :-) Plans include:
- Getting a few hours on my Ls (got them August last year and haven’t started)
- Working for that $$
- Practicing my German
-
I actually dunno what I am going to do. I have tried looking for a job but with no luck.
I am volunteering for Red Frogs during schoolies time and I have an interview for a course the week after exams finish and I have also volunteered to help out with my school presentation night the week after exams. But besides that I have no idea what the heck I am going to do with my life.
Oh and since everyone else is mentioning driving I have around 40 hours left and I should be able to go for my red Ps before December is finished.

Well I mean immediately the day after my last exam, getting ready for and going to my formal. ;) But some more long-termish things:
- Travelling to Japan.
- Continuing to learn basic Japanese in lieu of this^.
- Hanging out with my friends more often.
- Working, potentially find a second part-time job.
- Trying out new recipes.
- Finishing the cushion covers for my room.
- Decorating the house for Christmas (if My Mum doesn't thwart my attempts in the mean time haha)
-
Quite a lot actually:
- Clean my wardrobe and room because my wardrobe has got to the point it barely closes
- Probably dye my hair because it's gone a weird dark blonde after not seeing the sun ahaha
- Going shopping for new clothes after chucking out all the ones that don't fit
- The Saturday after exams going on a trip with my close friends
- Having a family friends party for my 18th
- Turning 18
- Going to Adelaide for Lifesaving World Championships
- Having a dinner with my friends for my 18th
- Going down the south coast with my best friend that lives in Ireland
- Patrol at surf club and potentially help train new lifesavers
- Probably going overseas with my family, maybe Vanuatu
- Getting my green P's
And hopefully hang out with my friends more and begrudgingly work :( so that I can go out ahahaha
-
Exams are still going to be a big thing for about a year from now, so mostly going to be my plans for the summer:
- Preparing for the upcoming year
- Getting back with primary school friends
- Watching loads of Netflix
- Playing loads of games
- Walking around my neighbourhood aimlessly and staring at walls aimlessly
- Getting back into cycling
- Reading and drawing
I think I'll save driving for two summers after this one :)
-
I turn 18 during exams (the 3rd) so after mine are all done I'm planning on doing some hard-core partying, something I've been looking forward to for a LONG time.
After that, I've got Val, then I'm going for my licence (this would usually be scary, but compared to exams it's nothing), and then I jet set off to the Gold Coast for some more heavy drinking at schoolies.
In terms of some more long-term activities, I'm looking forward to going to lots of festivals with my friends next year, hopefully a holiday with my boyfriend (undetermined but must-be-cheap location), getting back into reading and heading off to Uni.
I honestly can't wait! 16 days left!

Oooh Vanuatu! Can definitely recommend. :)
Also are you competing at the championships? If so, that is pretty astounding!

Yah hoping to get to go there, was meant to last time but a cyclone came :(
Yeah I am, it's open to anyone for many disciplines and you complete for your surf club (IRB for me) but should be fun :)

My last (and only) exams next Tuesday!! ;D
At the moment my plans are:
- Sleep in
- Get a job & also start volunteering
- Do the safer drivers course, and get more hours on my L's.
- Practise my clarinet, and learn more saxophone/piano.
- Do the LANTITE test at the end of November
- Meet up with friends (& hopefully an AN meet up!!)
-
Everyone has all of these fancy plans and I'm just like
- TuteSmart
- UNSW MathSoc
But I'm also set to get my fulls this December/January (hopefully) so that'll be awesome.
Also hopefully spend time with a special someone
-
- Do the LANTITE test at the end of November
Have fun with that. It's.... interesting to say the least. Are you doing both the Lit & Num on the same day or separately? I remember when I did mine, did them on the same day and had about a 90 min gap in between.

Take a break and do something relaxing everyone!
The best thing that you can do is take a break after all the hard work that you've all put in other the last 10 months!

Yep, blasonduo and I are doing them both on the same day. When we booked the morning ones were only available so we have to go in at 7:30. Tried a practise one tonight and it was really boring.

Whole thing is boring. Literacy one was painful - reminded me of NAPLAN. Reading big slabs of text on a screen is terrible.
They don't allow you to have your own calculator for Numeracy, the only permitted one for the calculator section is an on-screen one that works really badly. I'm sure it'll be an experience (not in a good way) for you both. GL

Since I'm finishing my final essays soon (have an extension) and I should get the all-clear from the doctors this coming Monday:
-Get Bumble (it's apparently better than Tinder)
-Get a twitter account (while I'm not a very public person it''s use for journalists-like I don't have Linkedin)
-Complete a few applications for various things (uni and Teach for Australia jobs, hospital volunteering, editorial internships, theatre stuff) as well as ask for opportunities with various people in public health and Neuroscience who I would love to gain experience from (may be a long-shot but it's worth a try)
-Watch Sabrina (watched half of the first ep)
-Try to get a day jobs of some kind (although I missed the boat for Christmas casual apps since I was sick but still busy with everything else)
-Break down a bunch of TV pilots
-Study for the GAMSAT
-Work on some of my public health projects that I've recently managed to discuss with hospitals about collaborating
-Volunteering in a community violence education project
-Learn data science and epidemiology
-Write plays, teleplays and long-form journalism (and submit them to places that I really like)
-Do a few spoken word open mics
-Have an Anthropology reading group every 1-2 weeks at uni over the summer holidays
-Theatre
-Get back into Spanish again and continue Arabic
-Practice Cello (haven't been doing so in ages)
-Maybe start transitioning back into uni debating by judging at a few tournaments
-Exercise (not sure in what form, but since the whether will be nice, long-distance walking is probably a good start, I used to do long-distance running ages ago but probably won't get back into it anytime soon)

dont have exams anymore cos I got a full time job but over the summer shutdown period I am going to hibernate on a beach for 2 weeks and watch every show on netflix. enjoy holidays while you can guys :)
