Hiya Guys,
I know that within the next few weeks, a lot of you lovely people will be getting exam results for either your GCSE's or A levels and I am in the same boat as all of you guys. I know that I am so stressed out by the day looming (13th Aug - unlucky?) and my mum is giving me tips to try and calm me down, so I thought I'd try and pass down something to you. Whether you choose to take them or do what I do and stress anyway is up to you! :)
1. What's done is done
So as blunt as it sounds, there is no point dwelling on anything to do with exams. What you got represents what you were back then and as long as you can say that you tried your best then stressing now will do no difference. You did them then and there is nothing you can do now to change it so you might as well accept what happened.
2. Exams do not define you as a person
I know that adults everywhere will make a huge deal of these results and telling you that your life counts on it. Well it doesn't! These results may matter to universities, colleges or universities but isn't what people think of you count more? I mean they won't care how many As-Cs you got. They'll care about the content of your character and how nice you are! Many people have lived amazing lives without top grades and sometimes have been much happier! (Don't use this to not try because not trying makes your character a lot worse)
3. Have back-up plans
These do not make you less of a person but it can make your life so much easier. Sometimes things happen for a reason and if you know what to do in case you don't get what you want then it'll get a lot of people off your backs. This could be knowing what to do when you get your results such as clearing or what to do if you want to retake exams.
4. Don't compare yourself to anyone else
Your friends and colleagues are going to have different strengths and weaknesses from you and this will correspond to different aspirations and results. This is nothing to worry about! You are your own person and it shouldnt matter what anyone else achieved because you are unique! Don't be pressured into sharing results if you don't want too and never be ashamed because all the results do is tell you what you're good at and what you need to work on.
5. Stay positive with a good support team around you
There is no point breaking down and letting the grades affect you for your whole life. If they aren't what you wanted or needed then get up, wipe the dust off and move on. It also helps if you have people around you that care for you and won't judge you. You don't need people making snide remarks or saying what could've been because they weren't in your shoes. Also, don't bottle in your emotions. I burst into tears last year before I even got my AS results and luckily my mum was amazing and helped me calm down - these are the people you need!
So that was my attempt to help these next few weeks go ahead without much bother because I think we all need someone to help us. Even if, like with this post, it wasn't much use to many people!
So keep your chins up and I really hope everything works out for you!
Good luck my lovelies
That's all for now my dears,
See you soon
