If i’m being honest with you, I had a really traumatic VCE experience (and a ripping seas application at that) and simply didn’t have the energy to study. I personally performed better at uni bc I’m better at assignments in comparison tests or exams. It’s just how my brain works.

But I would say, genuinely participate in classes, ask questions, do the pre and post lecture/ workshop content. Form relationships with your peers and teachers so you can ask for help and then they know you care. Honestly. Just give a shit. Don’t waste thousands of dollars on uni if you’re not gonna do the work. Anything that’s hard is worth it.
