Results day is looming

Flashback...


I remember this time last year sitting worrying about the 3 letters that are going to be on a piece of paper inside the brown envelope that will determine my future (or at least determine my future for the next year). At the time this seems like those 3 letters are all that matters. A year later, I can tell you they are not as important as you think.

The anticipation running up to the day of results is much worse than the actual day, I remember my mum telling me you will be fine, and everyone telling me not to worry. But how can you not worry about your results and your future? You can't not worry, worrying is natural. It would actually be weirder if you weren't worried or it would mean you know you are a total genius that know they have it in the bag. The most important thing is to not let the worry and anxiety about your results take over your life, its not worth it, trust me!! My friend's mum always says whatever will be will be and I believe this about results and what happens after.

I needed AAB in my A levels which is very high indeed but of course I was hoping to go study law in London so it was to be expected.I remember opening my results and seeing ABC and I was so disappointed, had my self convinced I wasn't going to university and that I was a failure. Then I logged on to UCAS to find out that I did get into my first choice, University of Westminster and was over joyed. So one of my most important tips is to CHECK UCAS FIRST because if you have been accepted into your first choice you really won't care that much what your actual results are.

Unfortunately not everyone gets the news they want. Dont worry about going through clearing, take your time and welcome all the support you are getting from people to help you. Trust me, its not the end of the world going through clearing, I know and have met many people who are university through clearing and love where they are,

Whatever happens you should be super proud of yourself.
