    Any Advice For An Athiest In The Closet?

    My family are all extremely religious Christians who are opposed to the idea that I might have any views different to those that they hold. Bordering on stereotypical religious extremists with their unquestioning following of the bible, specifically regarding homosexuality, etc.. Don't get me...

    Starting B Commerce Next Year..? Help!

    Hi guys! I'm considering doing a bachelor of Commerce next year, majoring in Human Resource Management. As I understand it, before I can pick a major I have to do a basic grounding in other areas such as accounting in my first semester. I dropped maths at the end of year 10. How difficult...

    A Brief ATAR Reminder...

    Seeing as today marks the release of the ATARS, I just thought I'd remind you all of something...At the end of the day, your ATAR is nothing more than a number – a number you'd be foolish to allow to define you as a person. Regardless of whether you see yourself as having done poorly or...

    Illness/Misadventure - Death Of A Family Friend

    I just found out that a family friend passed away from a massive heart attack. I feel numb right now, and it hasn't really sunk in yet..I have two HSC exams left to go. One tomorrow and one the day afterward. Am I eligible for illness/misadventure because of this? I'm not sure if I'd need any...

    Contempt For The Willfully Uneducated

    Recently I've had a lot of experiences with people who I know from years ago in highschool, most of whom had no interest in school and dropped out as soon as they could, most not doing anything with their lives and a few becoming tradespeople. Now, perhaps it's just people from my high...

    Stopwatches In The HSC

    So for the last few exams, bar today, heaps of people in my grade have been blatantly using stopwatches..The examiners maintain that they haven't "known" thus far because they haven't "heard them beeping" despite the fact that the sound of beeping echoes in the exam room every few minutes...

    Why Is It That Most People Don't Consider UOW An Option?

    From what I've seen from the boredofstudies forum as well as people in real life, UOW isn't really seen as a university that people aspire or "want" to go to, unlike universities like USYD, Maq, UNSW, etc.. Why is this? Wollongong Uni seems to be a great uni, from what I've heard and seen of it.

    Paper 1 Is Over..Thoughts For Paper 2?

    Alrighty, English paper 1 is over. First of all, let's take all exhale and relax. The first half is done. We now have an extra day to prepare for the second onslaught. That said, does anyone have any theories on what might be asked question-wise in the modules questions?

    Is Our Taste In Music Shaped When We're Younger?

    My favourite music seems to be that which I listened to when I was younger (young being late 90's and early 00's)..I'm wondering if this is just me, or does anybody else find this too? I'm wondering if our taste in music is actually shaped when we're young.

    Likelihood of poems being specified in Mod C?

    Needless to say, the majority of people will be fucked if the BOS specifies a specific poem that has to be discussed.That said, how likely is it that they will specify one or more Ted Hughes poems that we have to talk about?

    Anyone Finding They Studied Better Pre-Trials?

    Lately I've found it a lot more difficult to study effectively in contrast to when I was studying for the trial exams. I'm putting it down to a lack of pre-exam adrenaline at the moment, but I'm not entirely sure. Is anybody else experiencing this? :blink2:

    Lost In Translation - Literally. HELP!

    It's been a long time since I've studied Coppola's 'Lost In Translation' and I can only really remember the basics. It's probably a good thing that I've started studying for the E1 HSC now rather than later on, or I'd really be in a pickle! Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you guys would be able...

    Part Time Job Post-HSC

    Thus far, I haven't bothered looking into getting a part-time job. With the end of the HSC drawing near, however, I think it might be prudent to start looking. With my lack of experience, I can assume it's pretty hard to start out doing work that isn't food related..But what are some...

    Word Limit..If It's Over Or Under, Will You Get Away With It?

    The title pretty much says it all. Assuming they don't nitpick and individually count every word in everyone's major work (which I'm pretty sure they don't do, but correct me if I'm wrong) how likely are people to be caught if they're like 200 words over or under?
