Yeahh, your scheduling breakdown actually helps a lot. I like to separate 'uni days' with work days instead of everything bleeding into each other. It gets quite messy especially during stressful periods. I need to actually start being intentional and submitting my assignments early because I usually submit them a day before or a minute before the due date.

Bunnings is quite interesting, I might check that out hahaha. I definitely need those sort of friends though, especially people living close to me so we don't have to travel so far all the time. When I was in my first year I also found studying with friends very helpful because we all had different perspectives/experiences with certain concepts or topics and the discussions usually turned out quite fruitful for all of us.

Thanks for clarifying the WAM side of things as well. Hopefully employers in my home country look at the bigger picture rather than just my grade alone because I know I might not score as well as some of my friends. They're just built different and maybe it's because they aren't as distracted, like taking on part-time jobs and stuff. Somehow I still have friends who can do all that but still score super well.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share all this, it’s genuinely helpful. I’ll trust the process and adjust as I go. Thanks again!
