How is your Social Life during VCE years??

The big Question: Do you even have a Social Life during your VCE Years? I really haven't had one ever since I started High School (only if you can put being a Pre-teen and Social Life in one sentence), and I pretty much made School my Life. My classmates just could never stand that 'I'm working so hard'. Mind you, It's one of those Schools that have mostly produced Hairdressers and Plumbers. You get the occasional High Achiever once in a while though lol.
So yea, now I'm half way through year 12 and am planning to go to Law School someday, which means a real Life is pretty much non-existent for me.  I don't even get time to hang out with friends on the weekend because that's when I'm doing my Homework and sleep because my employer insists that I'm doing the night shifts. I've pretty much given up on that swimming Career as well because obviously I don't have time to go to Training :'( .  Are any of you in a similar situation where you just don't have a real Social Life outside School?

Anyway, this Court Case that I have to go through doesn't want to summaries itself, so I have to wrap it up here.  :buck2:

I wouldn't say it has completely destroyed my social life, but yeah year 12 has significantly diminished it. But that's only during the school term, on holidays there has been so much more on as everybody is turning 18 and squeezes their birthday parties into the holidays. It's pretty awesome :D

You know, It's called 'doing stuff that is fun', or 'doing things you are passionate about'. Best example would be Sport.

for me year 12 did sort of limit me from going out with my friends and stuff because I would prefer to study, it was only when I had holidays or very important days came up so I wouldn't study and do something.

All this will eventually pass and once you reach uni you will have time for everything =)
Ancient Persian Proverb; " I Wept because i had no Shoes, until i saw a man with no feet!"

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

whats the point in living? if you will never have fun in life, unless you consider studying fun then go for it whatever makes you happy in the end. If you say Law-school will diminish your social life then is it really a career choice you want to do? or is it due to pressure from parents maybe? I mean do whatever you feel which is fun to you in life whether that would be having a social life or not. Thats what i think anyway.

If anything I'd say my social life has improved in Year 12. I attend every second 18th basically, and considering how many amazing things happen this year, you'd be insane to miss out just so you can study. Lots of people assume I'm doing Year 12 wrong by going out most weekends but I haven't dropped more than 5 SAC marks in any subject all year so, I must be doing something right.

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

When year 12s, you need more stress stabilizers. as a guy = more social life/hobbies, whatever that may be.

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

This.  I spent more time socialising than pretty much ever in year 12.  Hell, in many ways, I studied less than most years in year 12...

Appianway: I went to a gazillion camps and a fair amount of rehearsals... I also spent a lot of time hanging out with non school friends/communicating frantically with friends from camp, so yeah, I probably studied less in year 12 too. Have some fun!

In answer to your question-My social life has kind of diminished this year, but I haven't really been affected by this fact very much. I don't know about everybody else, but as long as I have a couple of good friends who I can have a laugh with or who I can talk to about any stresses or whatever, I'm pretty ok with it all.

In terms of doing less work and more play in year 12, I really think it depends on the person whether or not this is a good idea. For example, If I did less work this year than other years-My results would be be pretty crap, because to be honest I didn't do very well last year. Whereas, perhaps others could afford to take a bit of a step back because they have built that foundation, so don't need to do as much. Anyway, I think as long as you are not feeling kind of depressed or something because you are not socialising enough than it's all good! :)
