Wow today one of my friends just finished their HSC and man they were happy. I can't even imagine myself finishing the HSC at this stage as things have barely started to heat up. The prospect of finishing my HSC got myself thinking about plans for University etc. For those of you in Uni was it what you guys thought it would be? From what I hear people say that university is way better than highschool. By that I mean you are entitled to much more freedom - but as they say with power comes responsibility. What are your thoughts overall on how University life compares to HSC in regards to workload, study time, social life, being an adult etc.
I've asked several people who did well in the HSC and most of them said that the HSC was so easy in hindsight - that they could of studied so much harder and done so much better (keeping in mind that these people got 99.XX). I also asked many adults who had completed their HSC several years ago and they said that the HSC was a walk in the park compared to UNI exams - getting a job and what not.
Looking back on my previous schooling years I also came to the same conclusion but this time I am going to try and enjoy my last year of senior schooling all the while achieving a result that I am not ashamed of as then I can leave high-school knowing I made the most of it and not beat myself up for the rest of my life. I also suppose that I shouldn't let the goal of a decent ATAR consume me as the ATAR is just one tiny thing in your life that will seem so insignificant as you go on to discover that there is more to life than academic achievements, thus I will try and enjoy my HSC year all the while maintaining fair results.
