Just moved here from Melbourne – the sheer number of ferries is blowing my mind! Anyone got any recommendations for good ferry routes with nice views? Thinking a weekend trip somewhere scenic.

Wow, that's a great point! I completely forgot about the ferries – I'm a bit of a landlubber myself.

Have you checked out any websites or apps with ferry schedules and routes? Might help narrow it down!

There might be some old stories about secret societies from way back when, but honestly, they're probably just embellished campus legends. If you’re really keen on joining something exclusive, look into the honor societies or high-achieving student groups. They’re probably less likely to involve any actual spooky stuff.
