6 7 what even is it?

LaMelo is literally 6ft 7", Skrilla won’t stop singing 6 7 in his song “doot doot” It’s intetntionally vague and contextless making it even harder to pin point its origin.

WEDNESDAYS ARE OVER, BONRAD IS FOREVER
Well suddenly Wednesdays are just Wednesdays again, and they’re not as exciting as they have been the past few months.The finale dropped and honestly… our hearts are still on the floor. Cue the heart eyes because Belly + Conrad = done deal. Yep, the drama filled, swoon-worthy choice we were all rooting for. Bonrad really became a thing, and for the most part we all got what we wanted.
BUT it also left us all saying… “where’s the rest of the story???” wbu?
THE BANK OF MUM AND DAD. Are you withdrawing?
New research shows the majority of young Aussies are packing their bags… straight into the back of Mum and Dad’s suitcase. Forget independence, turns out a free holiday hits harder than freedom.
So is hanging with the parents suddenly cool? Or are we all just broke enough to accept that sunscreen, snacks and zero accommodation bills are worth the awkward dinner chats? Either way, the “Suitcase of Mum and Dad” is trending and honestly, who’s complaining when the cocktails and flights are complimentary?
Well if the clinker CLINKS
It’s the ultimate decision making hack, letting fate and flavour decide.
Should you text your ex? Go to the party? Book Schoolies? ( that’s a given). What started as a fun little trend has seriously blown up and cleared the shelves.
Hope we all didn’t become too dependent on the clinkers, because based off the empty shelves and $16 on marketplace… no decisions are being made 😩
Exam SZN is here
Exams are officially loading, and the stress levels are starting to rise. Cafes are running out of caffeine, group chats are half “good luck” and half memes, and everyone’s pretending to study while just thinking "SCHOOLIES" highlighted hot pink
Pro tip from us at Schoolies.com HQ: pace yourself. Burnout isn’t cute, but rolling into exams sharp, steady, and semi-sane definitely is. And remember, once those papers are done, it’s palm trees, poolside, and playlists on repeat.
This is the last hurdle standing between you and your first real taste of freedom. Think of them as the locked door before the ultimate afterparty. Good luck, legends.

Schoolies is the pinnacle of finishing Year 12: freedom, questionable decisions, and the friend drama you’ll talk about for the next decade. Heartbreak High is basically the TV version of that energy, so naturally, we’re desperate to see what happens next. But seriously Netflix, the final bell is about to ring and we’re counting down . Season 3, we’re ready.
