POV: the first day of Year 13

Transcript

It's the first day of Year 13. The start of a brand new year and your last year of secondary school. Except you're already behind on your workload and it's not even started yet. You have your first actual lesson of the day and you realise you can't remember anything from last year. You feel your sanity slipping away as you're given a rundown of all the assessments and mocks you'll be facing this year, but the first assessment is in two weeks' time. You then start learning the Year 13 content and you feel your brain cells disappear every moment that it speaks because none of it makes sense.
