Hey hamo,
When do you plan on seeing the light and transferring to Monash uni? 
Eagerly awaiting your response,
HighTide
I was sorely tempted to do a bit of language analysis and display what a loaded question that was, but you know, enough of VCE English
Sorry but I value 2+ hours of travel time a day over that $8000 a year ;P (time is money guys).
I think Monash is a fantastic university and definitely worth consideration if you're a Year 12!!
Trigger warning:

Melb Uni is still superior, obviously
If you have a favourite movie, what is it and why?
Personally my favourite (my friends know i've raved about this for years) is Whiplash. I liked it so much I dedicated half a paragraph on my end of year Context essay on the English exam to it
I felt it was a frustratingly accurate portrayal of desperation throughout the movie and, funnily enough, the movie was able to communicate the most harrowing set of emotions through the drum solos, rather than the conversations (it's something that you need to watch to experience).
Hi Orb! 
Thank you so much for participating in this little initiative.
Given that I am currently in Year 11, I just thought I'd ask you a VCE-related question:
Could you provide us with some insight as to what you would do differently if you had the opportunity to re-do your VCE?
I hope Commerce at Melbourne Uni is coming along well for you.
Something that I would have done differently was adopt a more serious mentality during that Year 11 to 12 summer holidays. Often, a LOT of students throw those holidays out of the window (spent procrastinating or having a two-month long holiday). You get an absolutely fantastic 4 month holiday at the end of Year 12 (so there's plenty of time to celebrate afterwards). I know some students who spent 2-3 weeks mourning about their ATARs at the end of Year 12 (so why not spend those 2-3 weeks doing a little bit of headstart study during the summer holidays?). Everyone has different situations though (some have seriously burned themselves out through the rigours of Year 11) and it is really important to ensure that you do take an adequate break especially during those holidays.
Another thing was to take part in everything that makes Year 12 unique. Formal, valedictory, those final House competitions. Don't wag them to 'study' because they are the very last competitions or events that you will ever participate in. I know a lot of students (myself included) who took one or two events off to 'study', although we probably procrastinated 10x that amount of time in that month alone. These events are what makes incredibly fond memories, memories that you will probably remember for the rest of your life (as opposed to that fantastic 3 hours of news feed scrolling, which even the most die-hard fans wouldn't be able to recount significant details of).
Hope that helped!
why is 6 afraid of 7?
Damn. Never heard of that before ;P
