1. What state & year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
WA - currently in year 10 + going to study Methods, Spec, Literature, Physics, Japanese SL and Chem!
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
Twilight. Or namely, any movie that reinforces traditional gender roles in a romantic relationship. The romantic roles are simply not for me. It's nothing I can relate to,,,, like,, please give me a romance with an altruistic, clumsy and fragile/soft guy with a powerful, unconventional female lead. I'd eat that stuff up.
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
I'd alternate between a flamethrower, an automatic rifle, a shotgun, and military knives depending on range. I'd probably have knives strapped in the most innocuous places to carry a sense of surprise. I tend to like having multiple plans to fall back on. Oh, and the thrill of possessing an arsenal of whatever heavy machinery can get my hands on.
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
As a person, I want to be great or nothing. I'd much rather face social backlash doing something than to live a comfortable life. My vague(and yet most important) ambition is to leave a lasting impact on society by eliciting monumentous social and political change.
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Life's got its ups and downs. This is where resilience is a virtue - sure, maybe you didn't do well on that test. An unsuccessful person would believe that it's an indicator that they're not good at the subject and should just give up entirely. A successful person would figure out what they did wrong and make sure not to do it next time. Nothing is set in life. Our fates are up to us to change.

Hey skskskarlet, welcome to the forums! ;D
It's awesome to see another WA student! :D
I really like your answers to questions 4 and 5. Goodluck for Year 11 next year and Year 12 in 2022 ;)

flower2021:
I feel like i'm in like 2006 posting on this forum hahahahaha ;)
1. What state & year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
I am a grade 12 (2021) QCE student and I'm doing Chemistry (or chemisery :'(), Biology, Japanese, Visual Art, English Literature and Meth (oh I mean math methods, not the stuff u inject/snort). Thinking of dropping Bio though tbh, because I think it might be better so I have more time for other subjects as it's not a prereq for uni as I already have chem.
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
Ok I actually can't remember ones I hate right now, but I'll tell you the Polar Express has instilled great fear in me. Just thinking about the movie chills me to my bones. I can't exactly put my finger on why it's so terrifying, but it has something to do with the weird ass animation and just the very strange vibes it gives off (and doesn't he almost get run over by a train? I'm not sure but i'm too scared to revisit it to find out). It is the number one most scary movie ever, and that's a fact.
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Ok I'm not very good at aiming or anything, but I would be too scared to get up close to zombie's so this is a difficult one... I know I said I wasn't very good at aiming but I think a bow would be so cool. I mean I'd probably die anyway so looking cool while doing so may not be that bad.
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
I want to be cool 8). No but I'm not sure what I want to achieve yet, I just want to be fulfilled and do things that are cool and interesting.
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Basically the build up to a cool teenage indie coming of age story, except minus the cool ???. I'd like to be abstract here and just say it's a collection of colours that hasn't been complete yet. Idk what I'm saying, I'm just excited for what comes next :)
This pink is probably gonna look absolutely terrible tbh :o
Ok on second thought I just looked at the preview and damn that is a nice pink nvm. Like I thought it would be the shitty 2000s pink and my eyes would bleed but I guess I was wrong 8)

Legit! I tried to watch the Polar Express the other day and I couldn't do it. It just weirded me out too much!! In regards to the animation, have you heard of the "uncanny valley"? I saw a YouTube video talking about the animation in the Pollar Express and how it's creepy because the characters almost look human but a just a bit off. Interesting stuff.

Bows are really cool 8) I have one - can't aim for shit, and would certainly die in a zombie apocalypse, but they do indeed look cool.

i am currently in year nine, going to year ten in victoria, and my subjects for next year are 20th century history and psychology.
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
the kissing booth, i never been more bored whilst watching a movie.
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
my first weapon of choice, would be a swiss knife, because it would be able to contain a large amount of tools within a small capacity and that it looks cool, if i have to fight some zombies, i at least want to look cool.

as a person, i would like to help others, make the world a better place and be a good member of society to others.
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
imagine the stereotypical nerdy side character of a coming of age story (think the main characters from booksmart), someone who doesn't know what they want to do, but is excited for whatever is in-store for the future.
