faaaaantastic, the journey is over!

So happy for you! Well done, I remember that feeling haha. :D
Totally agree with books and walks and just getting to know yourself a bit now that it's over and you have time to spend with yourself!
Rec: The Perks of Being a Wallflower (I always recommend this ;))

thanks! i think it could've gone better, because some exams were difficult for me, but that's alright - it's over.
ahhh john green. i have a bit of mixed feelings about his work - the only one i liked was the fault in our stars (bit mainstream) and i found his other ones to be a bit of a bore. have you read his newest book? haven't heard too much about it review-wise. i've never read the skulduggery series, i don't know but i've never found them appealing... probably personal taste. thanks for the book recommendations link!
thanks, will definitely enjoy my short break :-)

Fair enough, I disagree with your assessments on Landy's book, but I won't hold it against you. As for John's new book. I haven't read it yet, I ended up buying it due to some of the users reading it Coffee and Insanipi. I blame them for this :P. I too have mixed feeling with John's books. I haven't read The Fault in Out Stars. I have read Paper Towns and Looking for Alsaka and couldn't help but notice the similiarities between them both. I thought I was reading the same book for each of them just with a changed plot and characters.

Congratulations! ;D
If you can't watch TV shows for a bit...do some puzzles, read some books, go exploring around your area, catch up on sleep, or just sit on the couch doing nothing haha.
For books, depends what you're interested in. What's your favourite sort of genre?
When I finished last year, though, I re-read the Skulduggery Pleasant series (one of my favourites, but obviously it's all personal preference haha), all of Cassandra Clare's shadowhunter books, the Inheritance Cycle, and the Assassin's Creed books I think. :)
If you want something different from fiction, maybe Milk and Honey (and I think Rupi Kaur just recently released her 2nd book)? I bought that for something different and don't mind it! Essays in Love, also - I haven't finished it but it's pretty cool.
Otherwise just binge watch movies

the amount of relief i felt after writing that last word in my indigenous essay... i couldn't stop smiling because it's finally over. now i'm just waiting for my christmas casual orientation next saturday, then i'm kind of back to some sort of schedule!
what do i do now since i have nothing to do? have to go into school tomorrow to return my laptop (sad... can't watch tv shows for a solid 2 weeks) but maybe i can read a couple of books? any suggestions?
congrats to everyone who's finished the hsc today, you've all worked so hard and i'm so incredibly proud of you xxxx here's to the next part of our life journey!

I just brought the new John Green book and I'm reading it tonight so I can tell you how it goes! Have you read Mortal Instruments, that's one of my favourite series! Or, I'll probably just end up rereading Harry Potter again!

ah okay tell me how the JG book goes! i'm definitely welcoming a heap of reviews :-) i thought paper towns was the better one out of the two you mentioned - i think i found the characters more relatable, but then again sending a bunch of people on a wild goose chase across america isn't so relatable?

thank you!!
i lean more towards fantasy, YA and anything historical. i'm open to other genres, just not horror ahah i don't fare well with that. thanks for your book suggestions too - i was going to read milk and honey, but sometimes i think it's overhyped? will give it a go though.
yes, definitely going to watch movies - haven't watched many lately and it's probably time to do so :-)
