Dude. The HSC is not that hardest thing in the world. If you can't handle a relationship and do the HSC at the same time, you'll never be able to handle a relationship in the real world.

Make sense?

Good.
Seriously, come on kids, you'll be doing the HSC all over again twice a year, for at least three years. Grow up :)

Re: do u think a relationship will interfere with you hsc?

Look, i've said this in other HSC SECKINGS threads.

If you can't balance life and the HSC, you're fucked for the rest of forever.

UNI is just as much work, over 4 years. Oh no, no relationships then either.

AND WORK?

Oh god, you better believe you aren't going to survive being @ work for 40 hours a week and survive in a relationship.

Harden the fuck up.

It's about moderation.

Fist eachother every second weekend, or integrate the secksytimes into your studies.

IE PDH - your muscles that are currently being used are:-, this is ____ stretching etc etc.

Comeon morons. Be creative.

Being shit at the HSC is not the be all and end all of life.



Disclaimer:-

If you are Asian, don't take any of the above advice. Just fuckin' study.


kthxbi
Yeah, you said it as well :D

it depends what you're going for. for many people, all you need to do in uni is pass, while hsc is when you aspire towards high goals to get into the course you want. most of the adults at my church who i've discussed hsc with describe it as the worst time of your life, and uni as the best.

and most of these people got UAIs ranging from 95-100 (inclusive).

i'm looking forward to learning about what i want, instead of compulsory english and other subjects limited by the size of my school.

i doubt exams at uni will be like hsc all over again. i never have trouble passing any subject regardless of how little i study. but at the moment i'm seeking a UAI of 95 for the sake of an incentive from my parents, while my preferential course only had an 85 cut-off last year.

and here's where i realise that despite responding directly to an on-topic post, mine isn't on-topic at all.

um.... thumbs-up to hsc relationships! woo! just set some boundaries or something if u need to spend long times studying.

Are you kidding me?

Do you know what PTSD is? You're not going to get it from breaking up with your boyfriend or the HSC.

when i read this post i just knew it was written by some faggot 07er. you can't even compare the two, let alone suggest that its easy to pass uni exams since its easy to pass hsc exams.....

and to stay on topic, if you break up cause the hsc, then you got another thing coming. its similar at uni, especially towards the end of each semester. i think hsc breakups would be either pressure from parents or the weakness of the relationship to begin with. =)

If you're already going out with someone, that's just a stupid excuse to break up with them. Just see each other less..geez.

However, if you're not in a relationship, the best thing to do is to refrain from liking anyone, as you end up thinking too much about them :( BAHH!

My girlfriend needs to maintain an D average to stay in her course.

Required course marks are based on what you are doing. i.e. if it involves honours or further non standard study the required marks to stay in the course will go up.

yeah its good fun, independence is great. An its great having no teachers on your back about going to classes.

You would be suprised, uni is designed to be tough. Re-read and re-evaluate that comment in 1 years time

Re: do u think a relationship will interfere with you hsc?

If i met some girl in year 12. I would have studied with her on subjects. Depends if she have similar subjects as i do. Then it won't happen anymore.

Looking forward to uni!

Had a silent agreement with a guy we would wait till after the hsc and use our gap year wisely. I went away for a couple of weeks cos my grandma was dying, came back and he'd hooked up with some other chick.
Don't waste your time.

I think it is ridiculous, i think that just shows where your priorities are, i think that if you have a decent bf/gf, just tell them that you might not be able to see them as much or hang out so much during the exams, but not break up that is ridiculous.
