I know this sounds strange. Most of you will probably enjoy holidays more.

But I have to say, I hate HSC holidays. They were great before this year, but now they just suck.

I go to bed late. I get up late. I eat late. I am lazy. I bludge all day when I have a nice pile of assignments to do. I feel shit coz I bludge. I get depressed because the work gets even more stressful. It totally sucks.

At school, at least I am FORCED to interact with other people. Plus, I can talk to them about work, and compare with them. It feels like I have a tighter grip on the HSC at school.

holidays FTW. i do more work as i have long days and also a plus is that i can take my time with it, if theres not an exam or upcoming assessment that is. At school, i do get motivated more to work harder but by the time i get home i'm usually half-dead lol.

I have two big assignments due in the first week back.

I also have to work on my EE2 Major Work and a minor assignment for EE1.

I guess that's why these holidays suck. And they're so friggin' short.

We didn't get any only were told by some teachers to go ahead a bit in study so we were more prepared for the coming term

All my life i preferred school rather than staying home when i was sick etc... but i dont know about this year for the HSC. I start to dread going to school everyday i guess because the content in the syllabus' are soo dull and boring and the pressure to do well is so much that i love holidays

I also always preferred it. I remember when I was sick I hated staying home. It was horrible. Bet my friends who I probably infected with the cold I had hated me.

I have to agree with that statement. However, with uni days, you would catch up with everyone without having to organise anything, plus there's more of a schedule.

I personally would prefer nothing before noon, and then some repetitive events in the afternoon instead of a whole day taken up by uni or nothing.

I liked school. It's easier to stay motivated at school and I had more fun hanging out with friends at school and mucking around in classes.
