Schoolies

Schoolies is over for another year. Thank God!

One of the pitfalls of working right in the middle of Surfers Paradise is have to endure the annual drink-till-you-spew and pash-anyone-in-sight fest, known as Schoolies Week.

For those playing at home who don’t live in Oz, Schoolies Week the week at the end of your final year at school, where you and your friends get an apartment for a week and drink yourself stupid, rarely eat or sleep, and end up getting it on with strangers or that person in your class you’ve been eyeing-off since grade 8, and now that you’re both drunk, finally have the guts to hit on.

Some of the interesting articles I’ve read about Schoolies week so far :

Morning After Pill - Pharmacies in Surfers Paradise have reported triple the number of sales of the morning-after pill during this year's Schoolies Festival – nice one girls.

Meningococcal – some poor kid has contracted this awful disease. Some of the symptoms to look out for are nausea, vomiting and headaches – mmm I bet no-one at Schoolies would be suffering from any of those…

Injured – Two teenagers were injured in a minor car accident – Why? Because they were laying in the back of a ute being driven around town when it crashed.

Schoolies Religion Camp – a Camp for religious people where there is no drinking, no smoking and no kissing or sex – I have already booked in my 6 year old daughter for when she does Schoolies Week in 2020.
