Thought I might as well have a go
How would you rate 2018 out of 10?No year is perfect, and every year is different. This year's been difficult, and rewarding, and disappointing, and not at all what I expected. So, probably a 7/10 (with a bonus
unique experience point)
What was your biggest academic accomplishment in 2018?Doing it, just getting through what I can. With only two exams left right now, I've realised that the academic achievement doesn't lie in a single mark; it lies in all of them, and holding your head high through failures.
If any, what's your biggest academic regret for 2018?Not accepting help when I most needed it. Accepting it too late.
If you had your time again, what would you change from 2018?I would change my subjects to ones I know I would enjoy. Like history. Instead of relying on my passion, I relied on scale. And this is never a good idea.
What's your funniest story/moment from school/uni in 2018?Probably consistently crashing IT classes (I haven't done IT since it was compulsory in year 8!) and trying to code the same things as the year 7's, 8's or 11's. And consistently messing things up.
Were your exams as expected?Were they? Yeah, kind of. Maths was freaking unfair, but the rest was as expected. Will they? I don't know - I feel like Legal is gonna come up with a few curveballs, but let's hope for the best!
What's your best advice for younger year levels studying in 2019?Never give up. The most important thing is to believe in your ability to carry on and continuously improve. Work hard, but not too hard, and remember to give yourself the love you deserve, and the help you need when you need it. Year 12 is not forever, but it is a marathon. Fight through the headwind when it comes, and you'll get there.
Outside of school/uni, what were the best and worst parts of 2018?Best: friends and ATAR Notes (which are kind of the same things but anyway)
Worst: the sleep deprivation
