Hating life. Can't wait till it's over.
The HSC is not about studying 10 hours a day. It is about managing teachers impressions and manipulating the little knowledge you know into a logical, compelling and sustained answer. That overrides any consistent study.
My motivation unfortunately drops, especially due to situations like the one Spiritual Being outlined.It's all perspective. I found that rather than getting angry at life, I would try and deal with it but now I've grown to become an apathetic person so maybe that's not a good idea. Sometimes you feel as though you have no motivation to do anything and you're waiting for it to come. So if you ever find yourself in that situation, you just have to get up and do it. JUST DO IT. The year will go quickly enough (in hindsight).
Now do you understand why i don't give a fuck about my atar? Meeting the atar cutoff is the aim, anything beyond that is just a bonus IMO.Thank you for putting it that way, I feel better about myself now. lol
Haha yeah.Now do you understand why i don't give a fuck about my atar? Meeting the atar cutoff is the aim, anything beyond that is just a bonus IMO.
Now I hate it even moreGood news HSC isn't all it's cracked up to be at least many aspects of it. Most of the content for the sciences especially are either taught wrong or you won't see again (it will be more intuitive and insightful at Uni)
Yes I agree. Uni is a lot more difficult but I guess it's all relative. The HSC has always been that thing to fear.Guys, you need to know that HSC is over-rated and it really isn't THAT difficult as everyone makes it out to be - it feels hard because it's so hyped up to me. Take a step back and have a more objective perspective of the difficulty of HSC, it might be hard to see but afterwards, you'll see that it was just a bump.
Agreed, I think that it's just been "culture" to fear the HSC.Yes I agree. Uni is a lot more difficult but I guess it's all relative. The HSC has always been that thing to fear.
Good luck in the externals with that bullshit ethos. Markers aren't stupid; they're subjected to thousands of papers with those types of broad, over-arching and general statements. The good students know A LOT of information - specifics and niche statements that enhance a response. I don't care who you are, you won't get a band 6 with manipulating an inadequate amount of information.The HSC is not about studying 10 hours a day.

As a first year (and an overwhelmed one at that), I feel like saying that to any whining Year 12s. But then I go back to my thought that these hurdles are all relative in life. Maybe it's a good thing that these Year 12s are getting over-stressed (haha) because that's overcoming a challenge in a way. We always look back on past challenges and see that we needn't have stressed so much but remember how we felt at that time and it seemed like it warranted that stress.For those who think that HSC life is hard, that is a "spec" of the amount of hurdles you will need to overcome in life. If you think year 12 is stressful, you just wait for university, where they will throw much larger challenges at you.
Life is full of challenges, and you as individuals must overcome them in positive ways!
I don't understand why you would characterise it as 'bullshit'. If it wasn't for managing teachers impressions, I would be a much lower rank in every subject. The fact is, everyone is human. If a teacher is marking the paper of a certain student, its marking becomes a confluence of the student's attitude in the classroom and their contribution to a positive learning environment, the homework they do, and the actual content of which they have produced. If you're a kid who is always distracting other students in the class and you suddenly produce the Shakespearean masterpiece of the 21st century in your assignment, you will still be brought down by your attitude. Anyone that says otherwise is just being intellectually dishonest.Good luck in the externals with that bullshit ethos.

Wow that is pretty good. Going to remember this when I feel down or faced with a challenge.For those who think that HSC life is hard, that is a "spec" of the amount of hurdles you will need to overcome in life.

Imo it all depends on how you feel in your current situation. I remember you telling me in year 11 how stressful year 12 was.For those who think that HSC life is hard, that is a "spec" of the amount of hurdles you will need to overcome in life.
