Hi BrittyG!
I've been flat out with assessments, essays and homework lately so I haven't had time on here (thought at the moment I do :) )
So to answer your question... The Monash Info Evening was really engaging and informative, particularly, the spokeswoman who knew her stuff about clayton campus, what they offer and whatnot. Although, they don't offer any bridging courses for mathematics 1, and if you don't complete the prereq then you will not be able to apply or be accepted... which i was really bumbed out. However, I still have a passion in one day going to the institution probably with differing courses of BSci/BCom instead of my initial plan of BEng/BCom.
I will still try to apply to USYD and other universities since they do offer bridging courses.
One thing, that also caught my attention (or how I interpreted) was how she really emphasised on 'we only accept high-achievers, so if you're not one, then this university isn't for you' which I agree considering they are a recognisable uni globally, still, I thought that was a bit disappointing and discouraging. Now I really do regret dropping ext 1 in year 11 :/.
I hope this helps with anyone who are on the same boat as me. :)

Guys... I am actually stressing tf out with Chemistry, I don't know how to properly study science subjects and I literally procrastinate everytime. I. Need. Motivation.
What reallly stresses me out the most, is the fact that I only do 10 units so it "shouldn't be hard" for me because "it's only 5 subjects". But it is hard, because I'm only a slightly above average student, with mates who are wayyyy smarter than me. I really do lack confidence in my self and academic performace and sometimes (I know you're not suppose to) I compare myself with others and that just tears down my wall of confidence/facade.
BUT HEY,
it's normal right? 8)

Hey guys,
SO for those of you who needs this type of reassurance, it is okay that you get beaten sometimes, but don't beat yourself up about it. I see all these talented and intelligent kids who have potential in engineering, doctorate and "high-paying" occupations to accomplish in life. But make sure you're doing something your passionate about.
You don't need to read books everyday to perceive yourself to be an intellectual, travelling, going to concerts, binging movies/shows is equivalent, it doesn't mean you're not as intellectual as the kid who enjoys science subjects, it's all the stereotypical stigma thats been ingrained into our heads as a child. I do this to myself a lot but I try and not overwhelm myself about it.
Be ambitious. Whether it be, finishing a season in one day, reading a book in 3 hours, organizing your room, finding a cure for cancer, whatever it is, ensure you're doing it for yourself and for the better good, not for someone whose controlling the choices you're trying to make.
Overall, get your butt off atarnotes/ refreshing your gmail, do some work and get on with life!!!
