Schoolies is pretty terrible. I disagree with the way the threadmaker puts it but seriously, you arent the first people to ever finish school, its not such a big deal. I can think of a thousand better ways to spend my money. Oh, and schoolies is a bogan fest. I hate bogans

'yay lets all get drunk and reflect on how crap our lives are!'

wake up people if ur lives really are that bad why dont u put all that money spent on beer toward something constructive.

getting drunk is a weak and unimaginative copout which doesnt produce any positive outcomes other than a false sense of wellbeing.

who agrees?
Then dont do it. Does it affect you if we fuck our lives over? I think not. I know people like you at school, all they do is work and work and work and never go out. I'll go to schoolies and you can stay at home with your notebook staring at it.

What are people doing instead of schoolies? (If you're staying at home, don't bother replying to this post lol). I'm fair cut/upset, the people I was going with had a huge fight and now they're not going, so I've had to cancel as well. We were going to Qld, so now I'm thinking I might go to Syd or Melbourne with a few friends and just go shopping and clubbing, cause there's nothing else I can think of and everything else seems to be booked out. Any suggestions? (Good ones)... :confused:

don't just search thru schoolies.com and don't worry if everything is booked out now. we had a few hassles with ours last yr and nearly had to find somewhere at the last minute and there were heaps of places available closer to the date anyway

Do something cheap, fun and something that doesnt involve the gold coast. From what ive been told its a whole bunch of 25 + guys bashing younger guys and drugging the girls. Then you have to remember that you are anything but free. I'm sure school will be alot better than work, debt, marriage, life. When youre young you get free food, clothes, presents. Fuck thinking you are free when you are letting all that go.

Get 10 freinds, save 100 bucks each, and rent out a beach house in a small coastal town. There's no people, no cops, no thugs, and you can drink as much as you want.......or stay sober:)

yeah schoolies locations are kinda stupid. You can get pissed off your face anytime but there are not many times you get to say goodbye to your mates who you have been to school with for 6 years

Hey, i work a hell of a lot and pretty much never go out, but that doesn't mean people like us are all gimps like that first poster. I work all the time because my parents watch me too closely and don't let me do ANYTHING pretty much, so there isn't much else to do. I still love drinking (and similar stuff ;)) and ive still managed to go out on weekends, though very rarely.
Also, the people who do work lots are likely to have more fun when they go out cause they have loads of money they can just throw around, so there's no shortage of booze, plants or awesome meals.

Also, to the first poster: If people are have so much more fun when drinking, then they're obviously gonna wanna drink again.. But how does that make them lame?

I couldn't handle that. I have to go out, i go insane if i dont and then run round with a hack saw..............or just get bored, i haven't got the patience to work.

Maybe thats cause you go out every weekend already! If you hadn't been an every-weekend kind of person before, then how do you know what you're missing?

schoolies is tradition now who wants to break an excellent ritual of newly graduated students having a good time doing whatever they feel like because they have just completed one of the hardest things they'll ever have to do... i aint messing with tradition

I didn't go to schoolies, some people who went said they had a ball, others said it majorly sucked.

You can go away to somewhere OTHER than the Gold Coast.. Byron Bay, Noosa, Jervis Bay... Sydney even.. Schoolies is about celebrating the end of school.. so you don't necessarily have to go away and drink yourself stupid on the Gold Coast for a week.
