Might be a bit late to add in my plans (seems like the discussion has progressed to post-school life) but the plan is to:
- binge Harry Potter and High School Musical series with my friends (we're planning a 6am start for HP to get it done in a day... but we'll see)
- go up to The Entrance for 2 days, 3 nights
- get a job
- convince my parents that graphic design is not as bad as it seems (hoping to go to UTS for B of Visual Communications)

My biggest motivator has got to be Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas. Anything by her, I recommend! I re-read her books before the release of Empire of Storms and kept EoS for post-HSC. Please read her books!!! (Otherwise, I recommend the Cinder series, TMI, TID, etcetc)

binging those movies actually sounds so cool!  good luck with that

Someone needed to get us back on track ;) wait wait, all 8 HP's in one day? Like a 24 hour binge? AWESOME!

Tell your parents I know a couple of graphic designers, both love their courses (they go to a private college whose name eludes me), definitely a great thing to study! ;D

I go to UTS and love it! It's so hands on and really innovative. I don't have another University to compare to, but I think you'll love it as much as I do. I studied Bachloe of Communications :) So, on that note, I've been working in magazines this year and I can't explain the demand for graphic designers themselves, but ALSO, the skill requirement of aesthetic technical proficiency is sooo in demand in other jobs. I never realised the importance graphic design holds in sooo many businesses. It is a GREAT idea to study that! :)

I just wanna point out that the combined running total of the Harry Potter movies is like 20 hours and to do it all in one day comfortably, one should probably start at 2am to allow 2hrs worth of toilet breaks, rests, snack gathering, and movie changing time.

I actually have bachelor of communication at UTS as my second preference! What's the course like? What do you learn/do? And what are the assessments like? I am so unsure about what to study at the moment but I do know that I want to do something aligned with creative writing and journalism, do you think it would be an ideal course for me to study?

Nice to see everyone is sticking to the traditional gym membership haha I think I am the only person who hasn't listed going to the gym lol
And OMG I totally agree with you on the room crisis. I am a complete perfectionist and having my room so messy with notes and books everyone is doing my head in!!! Can't wait to chuck them all away

I actually have a couple of friends that want to go into physio. Do you know what Uni you want to go to?

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!

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.
