After dedicating already 12-13 years of our lives to school, what will life be like after we finish? Will there be a time where we are just as happy as when we were in school? People tell me uni is overrated and getting into the workforce is worse. Sounds like a pretty sad life to me....

Should be pretty awesome I imagine. I could be delusional.

I find that the workload is tougher considering that I laid back during the HSC but I still have lots of fun anyway.

With uni, it depends on you and what you do. To me, uni work is harder, but the stress is way less - so I have found uni much more pleasant to the HSC in that respect. This view is probably not shared by everyone though.

Omfg I'm ecstatic! TO EVERYONE WHO SAYS IT WILL BE AS WORK DEMANDING AT THE HSC: It's only if you make it that. My sister does medicine at UNSW and she's having the time of her life! She does work but not all the time - she just has to pass! I cannot wait to start my course at Macquarie (B laws with B environment)!! YES

Studying at Uni is overrated, but at least you can chill knowing that even if you just cruise your course and pass everything, you will come out with the same degree as some of the more academic people.

Uni is what you make of it. If u dont socialise, get involved, have no interest in ur course it will be terrible. If u socialise, get involved and enjoy ur course it is amazing

It is good to look forward to it, but don't over-hype it.

Personally, I was dying to go to Uni afterwards.

Im scared for when I finish school, I feel like I will be lost because I have no real clue of what I want to do, so many people have a set goal a career they want to pursue by now, all I have is a transition from one type of job to the other eventually getting bored of the idea. *sigh*
