Hi Jimmmy! Can’t help but notice we have a lot of things in common;
- both did Global Politics
- both hoping to study Law @ Monash next year
- both experiencing education withdrawal lol
How are you planning to prepare for the course if anything at all? I’m feeling a little nervous about the workload (and fail rate), and I haven’t even gotten started with uni, its like I can’t shake off an imposter syndrome complex. Anyway, its great to know that there are other people here on AN studying similar courses.
Hey Jinaede! Yes that is cool, you did amazing in GloPol and with your ATAR, congrats!
Despite the recommendations from Sine and others, I don't think I'll be able to resist and will probably do some light reading. It does feel a little surreal to be going into Law at Monash, but I guess the whole Uni caper feels odd too, so I guess it's probably just that. I'm not too worried about the workload or fail rate, because working hard (or being able to do so) has always been one of my strengths. Natural intelligence? Nah.
Hey Jimmmy! Just wanted to pop in and say how keen I am for your journal! I can't wait to hear more about your experience with arts/law at Monash and it's making me feel excited for uni too even though it's ages away for me.
I'm curious, what is the fail rate for law at Monash (or just uni in general)?
Thanks Prag! I feel proud to think I'm helping motivate you for the potential Uni pathway ahead. VCE definitely got me down at various points due to its structure and I feel like Uni is different, so I'm looking forward to that. On the other hand, High School has so many benefits too (eg. teachers that really care, seeing friends daily, routines and lunchtimes), so try and embrace that great stuff in school while you're there.
Uni is a party scene for some people, for others, not so much. There's so much going on at uni that no one can do everything anyway so those of us who aren't big partiers certainly aren't social outcasts or something
That's what I'm hoping! Everything seems really intense though. I'm on the Monash Law Facebook page and every volunteering/board opportunity seems to require a great skillset/bunch of experience. I'm really on the look out for anything extracurricular at Uni from the outset though!
