I was quite the pokemon fan back in like, Year 7. Nostalgic purposes I reckon ;P
(It's just two pokemon obsessing over their favourite orb <3)

Thanks Heidiiiii
I think I arrived on AN reading some of those 'How I got a 50 in [insert subject name]' threads, and I mainly stuck around because of all these motivated high achievers that frequently stick around this forum. It's also quite a refreshing change from my high school, which had an elitist taste (which did have its benefits), quite different from the modest and welcoming community we have here.

AN has helped me become less confrontational (did too much debating in high school) and more easygoing over the years (i think this is a byproduct of the people you surround yourself with), so i'm pretty grateful for that

Orb, if you had your time again, would you change any of your VCE subjects? Why?

Hi! I think this is such a fun game

If you weren't studying your current course, what would be your second choice?

What would be your dream uni in the entire world? (If it was Convenient, paid for, you could get in easily etc..)

Personally, i'd drop Chem and pick up something like Economics.

I kept Chem throughout Year 12 because
1- Dad's really good at it and was essentially free tuition
2- Need it as a pre-req for Med
3- Already completed the 1/2 and got alright grades

In hindsight, given I put in virtually no work whatsoever towards the latter half of the year, I'd probably be better off studying something that I enjoyed a bit more. Every Chem class was a bit of a drain for me and concentration was severely lacking.

I'd probably pick up Arts. I completed an Arts subject as a breadth last sem and it was undoubtedly my favourite subject. I feel that the field of Arts really teaches you to 'think', whereas a lot of the other courses offered at Melbourne (Commerce, Science, Biomed) are more practical-based.

A dream choice would probably be Harvard (man that's so stock-standard). Other than that, Duke would definitely be high up my list (famous for basketball in addition to being an elite academic institution)!!
