There are some old sayings that go something like:​

"Boyfriends or band 6's"
and
"Girlfriends or Go8's"​

what's Go8's?

I dunno, I met my current boyfriend just before I started my trials... I lived in Sydney and he lived in Newcastle, so I spent a lot of my stuvac going up there or talking to him.
That being said, I probably would have found other means of procrastination.

Friend of mine was doing really well, I thought. Then she got a boyfriend - she just scraped into her course which, I think, she would've gotten into comfortably if she hadn't had the boyfriend. She got an ATAR of about 78-ish? I thought she was headed for 85+ easily, but no.


Now both are really good friends of mine, and I have nothing against either of you two (in fact, behind your backs we all think you're a great couple) - but... to the girl in question (if you do read this): I really think that he was a distraction to your studies. But hey, you got into a course you wanted so it doesn't matter!

I don't think so. My boyfriend was doing the HSC at the same time but didn't take too well to not spending much time together, so it caused a few problems in our relationship but doesn't seem to have affected my ATAR. It's not like it was a casual relationship either if that makes any difference; we are now engaged. :)

Haha yeah, I wasn't expecting it to be so soon, but i'm not complaining. Marriage will have to wait until after uni though. :)

Atar was a fluke...honestly surprised the hell out of me. My estimate was 94. :p

srs? You're what 19? I'd vomit if my boyfriend proposed to me now. I'm 19 and we've been together for 2 and a bit years.

EDIT: congratulations! that's very exciting. :)

Our four year anniversary was in August; he proposed in May. I must admit I was a bit worried about the age thing, but considering I will be at least 23 before we even think about getting married it's all good. Plus now I have a pretty ring. :p
