I think education is usually a second step. You can't educate starving or sick children, so they would need food and water before they attempted to teach them anything.

Soon I will add some hula-hooping to my routine.

It depends. I loved my selective school. I used the people around me to gauge how much effort to put in myself, and I got pretty good marks. My boyfriend, on the other hand, was so used to being the only smart kid in the school that when he went to a selective school he gave up because he...

If someone is in your house, with a gun, they're fair game. That gun shows intent to harm you, he's not just in there to have a look around or steal your ipod.

It's not really lazy, either. Realistically, there is a limited amount of information they can test you on in the exam. You'll often find that exam questions are repeated, across multiple past papers and study guides. They're not telling you the answer. You still have to come up with the...

I used to walk about that, in total, when going to uni. 2km to and from Rockdale. 1.5km to and from Redfern to the middle/North of Usyd. That, plus walking to Broadway or Newtown and back to uni, you'll rack up 10km easily.

It's very good advice, and you don't realise how good you feel on a solid 8 hours sleep until you do it.

I think it just means that you need to break down your study into smaller chunks. See how long you can concentrate for, say 45 minutes. Separate your study into 45 minute chunks. After each 45 minutes, take a 10-15 minute break. Go to the loo, internet, eat something, go for a walk, whatever...

Maybe kids these days write notes as they learn it in school, rather than all in 2 or 3 days in stuvac? Who knows. Crammer4lyf.

Yeah I don't think you can concentrate for much more than a solid hour or two at a time. And what on Earth are kids doing that they need to study every single day?

And the trouble is, the more people feed them, the more birds there are and the more aggressive they get. Solidarity, humans! On a side note, the kids at school always leave their lunchboxes out, and the birds that feed on their rubbish have been getting bigger. I predict that within a term...

People who feed the birds in general. I fed the lorikeets once, in the privacy of my own balcony, but they make such a mess that I stopped. And they're super cute. Not like pigeons or seagulls or IBISES.

It's suggesting how you can stay fit whilst studying for the HSC, to prevent the fatness suggested in the thread title.

It's faster to get into your desired uni course through the right ATAR, rather than having to do a year of uni to get high enough marks to transfer. There's no point putting in more effort than you need to, but it's hard to gauge how you'll do compared to the rest of the state so most people...

Yeh, hilarious. He was out of his cage most of the time, and he'd just sit on someone's shoulder or on top of his cage. Which is how he ended up outside- Mum forgot he was on her shoulder.

I used to have a lorikeet named Ziggy, but while I was on holidays Mum accidentally took him outside and he flew away =( And now we're renting we can't have pets.

Yeah high school kids need like 8 hours sleep. But it's only in uni that you actually figure out that sleeping is totally worth it and awesome.

There's like a billion Indian people on this planet. Are you seriously saying that there couldn't possibly be one of them that you'd like? Plenty of second generation Indian people living in Australia. Plenty of half-Indians. Maybe some of them are smart and attractive?

Do people really write little lists for themselves? I declare, I must only fall in love with those from certain parts of the world.

That's it, hey. PRACTICE writing, no doubt. Get used to using sophisticated language. Get used to engaging deeply with the question (which, by the way, you can't do properly with a generic essay precisely BECAUSE it is generic). Get used to using your arsenal of techniques in ways that are...
