1. Don't be ashamed about your mark. If you know you worked hard for it, then your marks will most likely reflect the effort you put in. There are way better things to worry about than other people!
2. Ignore the pressure to choose now - you can change your preferences a ton of times and change degrees whenever you like :-) My friend had no idea what she wanted to do until she went on her Physics excursion in term 3 year 12 and found she wanted to work in radiology! When looking for uni courses, think about your interests and what you like to do. Don't do something because someone else is doing it, or because there's going to be a lot of money in that field. If there's a specific institution you'd like to go to, maybe start your search there. :-)
Hope this helps!

Hey!
Yeah you're right but it is just super disappointing when even your best mates can't be happy for you so I have to like play it off. I don't know why I do care so much but yeah I'll definately try and stop focusing on others opinions.
I am just an incredibly indecicive person so pin pointing what I want to do potentially for the rest of my life is a real struggle but yeah I'll start with specific institions and stuff.
Thankyou so much for your help!!

I feel your pain hahaha. Don’t forget you can choose you major/minor and electives with most degrees so there is flexibility within them - also you could always do a general degree (science or arts) and then transfer into a more specific degree if you decide you want to.

Wow I have not posted in my journal for a LOOONNNNGGG time but I'm back!
I was wondering if I could get some advice ...
I am usually pretty good at resolving drama or conflict but now people are using my marks as amo. So, today we got our PDHPE factors affecting performance assessment tasks back and I did quite well, however a few people have been saying behind my back that I'm a kiss ass and don't deserve just because I got a good mark. So when I went to confront them about it and ask what was up they flat out denied and quickly made me feel the victim and at fault and stupid for my mark. I was kind of confused when even my best mates were acting sus about it and when I asked they kind of just did the same as everyone else. And it's annoying because now instead of being proud of my mark I'm embarrased and ashamed and wish I did worse. It's not like I needed their attention or praise, that's honestly the last thing I want, I just don't want hate for doing well. Anyone have any tips on combatting this and it not killing your motivation?
There's also increasingly more pressure to choose uni courses now and I'm still so lost, any ideas?
Hope everyone is having a good week :)

Hey, welcome back! ;D
Congrats on your marks - sounds as though you're smashing it. 👌
The situation you've described there really sucks. Sorry to hear you have to deal with it. The first thing is, I'm sure you do deserve the mark - an HSC teacher genuinely playing favourites in terms of marking is pretty unlikely IMO. On paper, it seems like it might be a case of jealousy from those around you - would you agree?
How do you know people have been saying that, though? Like, did you hear it yourself?
But yeah, definitely agree with fb3 above re: the marks situation. Wishing you did worse really sucks, and if at all possible, I encourage you to put other people's issues out of your mind. Obviously way easier said than done, but like, you should 100% be proud of your efforts - we're certainly proud of you. ;)
Looking forward to your next update!

Hey Joseph!
Yeah they were making little comments to me about it throughout the day and just being hostile and pretty much rude. I guess with what other people not from the PD class were saying that they were hearing as well as my own paranoia I could have made it worse but yeah it's just a real poopy situation hahahah.
Thanks for your support though! Really appreciate it :)

Hey everyone!
Hope all the students out there have had a nice holiday, I've still got one week to go 8)
The first 2 weeks of holidays I was really sick and so now I feel incredibly behind in all of my study and just feel like I'm on a little hamster wheel running and running but going nowhere. I know that the only way to feel more confident is to study more but I honestly feel like I can't which makes me more stressed then I just turn into a weird ball of emotions. But yeah I just feel like I'm going backwards and with trials coming up and me knowing I do worse in exams then asssesments I think it's getting to me.
Sorry for being a downer but on the plus side, once I was at 60% health I was able to hang out with family and friends that I haven't seen in ages and just really enjoy my life and actually have fun, not school fun where you play kahoot, like ACTUAL fun. Not gonna lie it was kind of strange!
Hope everyone's doing well and I'll catch you in my next update thing :)
