Hey all, now I would wholeheartedly agree with the majority who believe that IRL university is truly the fertile hunting ground it is made out to be, insofar as love and relationships go, but my problem is that I fear I may be completely unmoved by those emotions that so dominate an...

Hello all I'm a former student of Normanhurst Boy's High School and I achieved an ATAR of 95.40 in the 2010 HSC. I achieved top band's for English Adv, Ext1, Modern History and History Extension; these were the subjects I was most passionate and enthusiastic about and today I remain committed to...

Hello to everyone who's doing Extension History imo it's definitely the best and most interesting course on offer for the HSC and I'm sure at least some of u out there will have the same kind of infectious enthusiasm and passion for the course as I had last year when I did the course. So anyways...

hello all so I'm enrolled into MHIS 115 and I'll be taking MHIS units til at least 200 level cause MHIS makes up for the credit points I need and also cause I'm majoring in Politics for Social Science so MHIS units are a requirement. Introduction to World History seems failry straightforward...

Hey all I have the absolute worst timetable for 1st Semester I have a 7 hr break all in one continuous bloc on tuesdays >< I have a lecture from 9-10am but my next lecture isnt until 5pm. So what do you guys think about the idea of doing an extra unit on tuesdays to occupy at least some of that...

So anyone play? It is most definitely the best 2D fighting game out there, developed by the good folks at Arc Systems who brought us Guilty Gear (oh how I loved GG) If ur a fan of Streeties, KoF, of any fighting game in general or heck, even if u aren't a fan of fighting games at all its still a...

Hello all! So who's going to the Macquarie Law Orientation Day on the 19th Feb? There's only one other guy who's doing law at Macq U with me from my school, and I'm willing to bet there's alot more peeps out there who won't know too many ppl who are doing it? So the purpose of O day is to get to...

Hey just wondering what we're supposed to write on for uni lectures. I'm assuming no one uses plain old exercise books (they remind me too much of my school days) so ppl will generally be using cardboard covered notebooks or lecture pads right?

Hey all, just wondering when Law Camp is going to be held. Is it before the start of the new University year (the 21st) or sometime after? I can't find an exact date. Here's a taste of what awaits all us incoming law students, and I quote from the Macquarie Law Students Society website; "Our...

Hey all I was browsing the 2011 University offers liftout that came with the Sydney Morning Herald and I couldn't help but notice that all of Macquarie's combined law degrees, strangely enough, have vacancies this year. Does this in any way mean that the demand for graduates from such a course...

hey all I'm sure there are alot of people out there who have decided upon law as their future career, and aren't deterred by the astronomically high ATAR that's required to study such a course. Of course I didn't get into law at USYD or UNSW but I do have my pick of either Macquarie or UTS...

hey all I'm freely acknowledging here that I'm not as proficient as all of you are in meeting and greeting new people and making friends of them, especially if they're of the opposite gender. I am seriously lacking in this particular department, which is why I posted this thread with this...

Hi everyone, just want to know your opinions as to which elective is easier to study alone, as my Biology teacher can't teach the subject at all, plus its been agreed on that the elective to be taught is Communication. So I've been looking at Biotech and Genetics, so any thoughts on this would...

Hey everyone, I'm posting up some of my practise creative writing pieces on belonging, so some feedback would be good cause I don't get much of it at school. Here's the first one. Thanks Standing on the platform of a train station waiting for a train that’s never on time, coupled with the...

Not sure if anyone's asked this before but yeah, should we steer clear of using such said cliches such as using a schoolyard setting for a creative writing piece? And should we also avoid using adolescent themes such as depression, drug abuse, suicide and the impact of anti-social behaviour such...

I'm getting a really bad case of writer's block at the moment cause I'm not sure how to advance my story! My major work was never going to be the most innovative piece of literature, probably due to my choosing of a generic concept (character change in relation to contextual values) so could...

So we're already like a quarter of the way down the track and I'd defs say its too late to change major work concepts, but I still can't shrug off the feeling that I've chosen something too generic and unimaginative not like what other ppl have chosen. To be honest there weren't any concepts...

Q. belonging is more than ownership. It is about relationships. Do you agree? In your answer refer to your prescribed text (Romulus my Father is mine) and TWO other texts of your own choosing I'm kinda having doubts about how I would approach this question, but I think so far that this...

So in regards to essay writing, I've written all my essays in block format (that is, talk about each idea + text in a different paragraph) and I've been getting 18/20 for most of them, as well as B's and B + 's but apparently that isn't sophisticated enough for the HSC questions where an...

So would anyone like to share their crime short stories for the betterment of all those who will use this thread? Or might anyone like to recommend any websites which have crime fiction short stories?
