but i hate it when people say "i wish i was so-and-so", because you really wouldnt rather be someone else. well i wouldnt.

So you hate it when people say "I wish I was so and so", on the pure basis that you wouldn't wanna be them? Someone has the little green monster on their back.

i dno if this is a good or bad thing but our top students aren't exactly prudes. I've seen last years dux throw up more times than i can count and alot of the top students are preettyy big drinkers/partiers...you don't really have to sacrifice your social life at all in fact the smart ones are usually the ones with more time on thier hands cos it takes them less time to learn stuff

what happened to friendship, been a teenager? what happened to making memories when you are young that you remember for the rest of your life.
you dont wanna be old and and have no good memories of your youth because all you did was study. but not saying studying and getting a good mark is not important just that everything in moderation is good.

all i can say live your life cause you only be young once.

I honestly doubt you'll be talking to your so called 'Best Friends' in about 10-15 years time.. life goes on, people change etc... Some people I know dont even talk to people from High School, just their uni friends now, its life.

Once you leave high school, you pretty much lose your capacity to make friends. You will still have them, but as you get older, starting from your first year out, you will never have the 'best' friends you had in high school.

Why the fuck would you want to abandon that for a job or a uni degree?

Friends wont get you anywhere, no money + friends will just result in your life ending in failure. Its the sad truth of life, money makes the world go around, no money and I bet your friends wont even talk to you when you're 5 years down the track.

I came dux of year 11, and I'm first in all my subjects at the moment.

I'm aiming for around a 95 uai.

I spend about an hour or two of my weekend doing homework, I do about 40mins of homework a day during the week.
The rest of my time is spent doing what I like, socialising, sleeping, spending time with my bf.

I think if you've been at high school for 6 or so years of your life and then you waltz through the hsc not giving a damn, you're the loser because you've wasted all that time for nothing.

I want to do the best I can but not have a mental breakdown or ruin my social life in the making.

As long as you get into the course you want at uni I think that's all that matters, any other points above that are just a bonus.

And, if you're not planning on going to uni... drop out already, you're wasting your time at school.

Okay well i got a 2008 UAI of 99.2 and this enabled me to get into B Engineering (Mechatronic Engineering) (Space) @ University of Sydney.

I did like 3hrs study a week and spent a lot of my time partying, getting high, drinking mozie and goon and camping and shooting and generally being a mad cunt.

Friends wont get you anywhere...</SPAN>

Yeah, sure... The entire creative arts industry is based on networking. So is most of high level business.

I dont regard them as true "Friends"

I regards a "Friend" as someone you can go hang out with, enjoy your time, not be formal, etc.. cbf saying everything.

Creative Arts, again. Networking with friends. If one of your friends, has a friend with a job opportunity, you can get your next job. A huge amount of LX/AX/SM jobs are found this way.

I, myself, have aims for an ATAR of 78+. Not as high as some, but you'd think for someone who aims lower than the stereotypical 'nerd', I'd have a social life.

Haha, yeah right. I rarely go out, I spend almost all of my free time playing video games. I have friends, two of which aim to get ATAR's of 95+. One of them, you could call the social 'retard', he's pretty much worse than me. However, the other has a healthy social life, plays golf on weekends and spends time with friends and family.

But I don't like the stereotyping. Not all students who aim for very high ATAR's are social retards with no life. A lot of them have fun, go out with friends, party etc. Though, I can also understand where that stereotyping comes from, some people are like that.

yeah i got the envy bit...just i don't get who is supposed to be envious of who....

I understand, you simply want my magnificent mind ^_^ hehe (I joke )

Fuck off, cuz people fully don't have the right to higher education irrespective of their future plans.

 

[-may-cat-]

So you're saying that only those planning to go to university benefit from higher education?

 

[tommykins]

lol...some people want to finish yr 12 for future prospects that require it.

maybe Uni doesn't have the course they want, and the apprenticeship they seek requires a HSC certificate as a minimum.

 

[ninetypercent]

Aww, that made me lol.

Everyone cares heaps about dux and the competition.. All the possible candidates for dux and in my english class, and the subject was brought up once. Man it was awkward, so awkward it was funny XD

I personally don't care about who gets it. I think it's funny.

The top students are always evil (except for me, of course ) ... be careful with the information they give you...

So you're saying that only those planning to go to university benefit from higher education?

chill abit?

they benefit in that they need the certificate to take apprenticeships or whatever. what they don't benefit from is learning essay skills or maths equations, which they won't use since they're not going to uni.
