Some people work part time - one or two days a week.
I worked second semester, first year. Uni didnt go so well, not because I worked, but because I lost a lot of motivation.

I had ~21 contact hours (BSci, physics, biology, chemistry, maths, +3hr labs for each science unit).

Still managed to work two days, 8 hours a day. Woohoo me. The money really comes in handy so you dont have to starve and can actually afford things.

I would presume working is a prerequisite for having a girlfriend or boyfriend at uni. I work for myself. Mwuah, moneyy...
lol

like santa said, most work part-time
doubt anyone can work full time (unless that person is studying part-time)

btw, it's not working that keep u from "not actually going to uni", it's other stuff....like freedom to do anything u want, no one cares whether u turn up to lecture/tutorial (unless the roll is taken AND participation counts)~~~~~

Everyone has to work out their own balance. Depends how good you are at procrastinating. I am a master of avoiding homework, so a job for me, in anything higher than a casual position would not be a good idea Rolling Eyes

Im 20 btw

I'm doing a combined degree (Arts/Education), studying 2 languages at an intermediate level, going to TAFE 2 nights a week, studying 6th grade theory and AMus for piano on top of tutoring kids and helping out at my parent's restaurant. There are many more things that I want and and plan to learn, but frankly I can't fit them into my life, timewise and moneywise.

Uni's not exactly a bludge and I'm a little upset that I have no time for an actual life at the moment, but this is something that I've decided myself. Life is short and there's alot I want to learn and accomplish (especially before I get too old to be able to survive on an average of 5 hours sleep a night. Wink

) so I don't intend to waste any time dawdling.

Besides, my parents would probably disown me if I decided not to attend uni. Not that I would ever seriously consider that option since the whole "Ambitious Asian Dream"(you know, entrance into opportunity class->selective school/scholarship at an elite private school->"law/med/commerce/anything remotely related to either of the three" uni degree->a very cushy and steady job that will allow your parents to regularly jet back to Asia or pay off all their MahJong debts->meet an equally financially capable(or for women, perhaps, even more capable) good, clean, wholesome Asian partner who you marry and then have several clever, polite and respectful Asian children with) has been so completely ingrained into my entire existence that I'm incapable of imagining a life without first spending a couple of years "uni'ing it".

Any type of learning is fun as long as you keep things in perspective. Try to think of learning as a joy, not a burden, nor as something that must be endured, as a means to an end, in order to obtain a certain qualification. I'm not saying that assessments are irrelevant, but don't just learn things mechanically (because you know writing down a certain sentence, which to you is utterly meaningless, will score you brownie points) without actually learning the reasoning behind it.

Else, you'll just lose the motivation and end up hating your course and by extension, your chosen career path, wearing a frown across your face each day as you set about doing the same bland, monotonous actions for the rest of your life (surest way to get wrinkles).

For those HSC'ing/VCE'ing it, my advice is to not put yourself into a social lockdown mode, refusing all contact with friends and discontinuing any sort of activity you reguarly participate in outside of school.

As one very hip and happening 50'ish deputy principal said to me once, "if you have no life now, you won't have one to go back to after the HSC (VCE)".

Of course, this does not mean you should 'partay on!' till the wee hours of the morning every single night between now and the HSC/VCE. Moderation, as always, guys, is the key.

Well, that's all from me today. I wish you all luck in (of course!) your studies and careers, but more importantly in life; in the things that really count. There is no cumulative score for happiness, so don't get too hung up with school/uni marks.

(Sorry for the long post, guys. I'll get off my soapbox now. Embarassed

)

I'm still a young 20...and healthy, I hope. But being a passive smoker does me no favors at all. My skin is a lot worse than it was before. It doesn't look at all healthy.

People alternately say I look older than I am or that I look younger... Rolling Eyes

No, call Dr. Dripping-With-Sarcasm Smile

. House is a by-product of his need to interact with people. He just crushes their self-esteem otherwise.

Aww..don't bag out House! He's the best! I still can't believe the same actor played Mr Little in Stuart Little. They're polar opposites!

Yes, yes it is.. the comedian Adam Hills (who is currently presenter of Spicks and Specks) coined the phrase. It's even been said in Parliament!! Shocked

Well I have a pretty wide knowledge about..... hrmz... Alot of things...well some specifics...
Environmental issues, Economics, Geography - well basically humanities except not much politics
My Fav author Gemmell - if you know more about his books than me... which you dont.
Psycological stuff. Life, death, happiness, sorrow etc aka make shit up and make sure you have some make up facts/experiences to back it up. Very Happy

Gemmell is cool! Although these days it seems he is only using a template for his books. The stories are the same, but the names are changed. Still, I've read all his books and I love the fact that his first book saw him kill off one of his most popular characters of all time...and then he went and wrote a whole bunch more about him. ^_^

21 used to be the age when you became an adult. Yes, even in Australia. Its changed to 18, but society continues to celebrate the 22nd year of our lives.

Pfft, the only thing that will happen to me when I get to 21 is a big fat cash/fancy present. That doesn't count as being an adult, it counts as 'sweet - money!'. I'm 19 by the way.
