Yeah lol definitely not first post. Mostly a lurker here but still here goes:

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects?(Mandatory).
Just started Year 12 doing 4U English, 2U Maths, SOR I, Biology and Entertainment Industry (best course, change my mind)

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory).
Oh, I'm more of a gamer than a film buff so I'll just tell you a game I passionately hate: Street Fighter V. Used to love and play so much of it but the gameplay didn't allow for a lot of creativity compared to other fighting games which caused me to stagnate in skill. Wins and losses became less satisfying  and more frustrating respectively. Too many anti-consumer practices with DLC, the netcode is broken beyond belief. Really just a horrible, horrible stain on Capcom's otherwise great legacy.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
A gun. For myself of course. It's a zombie apocalypse, I'm not waiting to see the worst.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
Really I just want to grow up to have a simple life with a balance for work, family and of course, video games. As long as my work allows for continual skill improvement and fulfillment, pay is secondary. There needs to be a balance of pleasure and pain otherwise life's boring.

5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
I like to mark out years of my life by the best games I've played:
2003: Super Mario 64
2006: New Super Mario Bros
2008: Elite Beat Agents
2011: Super Mario Galaxy
2013: Minecraft
2014: Persona 4 Golden
2015: Zelda Majora's Mask
2016: Super Smash Bros. 4
2017: Persona 5
2018: At the moment probably Undertale
Hey! Welcome to the forums!

Wow... 4U enligsh... What made you want to do that? And do you have any ideas for your ext2 major?

And anyone who loves the mario games is already in my good books  ;D
But where's mario kart wii??  :o The best of the best

"May you grow up to be righteous; may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong"

"Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire"

Advice for starting year 12

Welcome to the forums!!! Nice outlook, I can respect the need for improvement and fulfilment in work. I never got on the super mario hype train, aha, I'm more of an rts guy!! I have to agree with you on Street Fighter.

Not my first post but whatever  :P
1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
Currently in Year 12 studying Maths Extension 2 and 1, English Advanced, Chemistry, Physics, and Business Studies.
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
Emoji movie, because it has artless aspects to the movie, boring and frankly insulting. Worst movie I have ever seen.
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
A machine gun  :P
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
A person who has a stable job earning a reasonable income, and a work-life balance.
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Not too bad if I say so. I have had my regrets as to my personality and overall capabilities, but overall I'm just blessed to be the person I am now.

Another stem person! :)

It's alright that this isn't your first post - some people prefer to dive straight in (I don't think I ever made one of these)

What, if anything, do you plan on doing after highschool?

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)

Just finished year 12 as an adult..  Physics, Methods, Specialist, Literature. Whilst running a business. Definitely took on way too much but loved it :)

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)

I don't watch too many movies but I remember watching "The Perfect Storm" and thinking.. what a waste of time for something that could have been summarized in one line.. i.e. some men go to sea and die in a big storm.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).


Poker face. Meditation.. all that.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)


I have achieved a huge part of what I want to achieve which is feeling the enjoyment of learning as a pursuit. I also want to achieve 'being a nicer person' to others but not too interested in going after 'being someone'.

5. If you had to summarize your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).

One paragraph is not going to cut it I'm afraid  ;D

Welcome to the forums! :)

I'm just starting up my own business atm (ordered stock in yesterday and will be setting up a site next week), what type of business do you run?

Can definitely get behind learning for it's own sake - was this part of your motivation for year 12?

Thanks for the welcome and best of luck with your new business. I run a small software engineering recruitment/consulting outfit in Melbourne. My motivation for year 12 was to scratch an itch I have had for years with Physics, for health reasons I didn't complete my education the way I would have hoped first time around. I tested myself with Unit 2 Methods and Physics before going head first into the whole lot for Year 12. I may scrape onto a degree for next year but might do Spesh and Methods instead to get a better conceptual understanding of the basics.

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
Starting year 11 tomorrow with Math methods, General Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, English Literature and Chinese second language.

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
I guess 50 Shades of Gray? Everything about it is awful. It's a great film to tease about with friends.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).

Welcome to AN, Meiying!

Nice! Good luck with VCE in these next 2 years.
Your line up looks a lot like what I did back in Year 10/ 11, just switch out Literature for Eng Lang and Bio for Japanese SL (or Economics U1/2) - that's pretty much it.

What career path are you hoping for after Year 12?
VCE: Psych | Eng Lang | LOTE | Methods | Further | Chem                 
Uni: Bachelor of Science (Hons) - genetics
Current: working (sporadically on AN)

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
I'm in year 11, starting year 12 in a few days. Subjects: literature, maths methods, biology, chemistry, and Japanese second language. I completed history: revolutions this year!
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
This is hard, to be honest. 'Suicide Squad', perhaps? I couldn't even watch the full movie. I just didn't enjoy or understand it. Please don't fight me.
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Cool pirate sword. :-))

Hey hey.. let's not go there (and off topic, for that matter). I gave my reason for questioning it in the very small print next to it. ;)
