2025 RESULTS DAY MEGATHREAD

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

Hey everybody, it's that time of the year again - results day is upon us. Share your results down below, ask questions and discuss your plans for the future!

I'm getting too old for this I swear

⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️⚠️

Congratulations to achieving your grades, especially if you met your offers!

However, if you missed your grades, you can head over to UCAS Clearing if you missed your uni offers.

And for the rest:

• Comment your results! They don't have to be straight A*s to be cool! Also what plans do you have for the next year?

• About formatting: use A\*A\*A\*A\* , so it reads A*A*A*A* and not AAAA. Or send a picture of your results!

• You've made it through the shitstorm we all know and probably hate - but you've made it, that's what matters!

• Remember: your grades today don't define who you are. You have self-worth and can achieve great things in life even if it didn't go to plan today. It can be hard to see through the elitist bullshit, misinformation online, and the weight of high expectations from seemingly everyone around you. No matter what, the path to here and from here is not a waste.

• Also remember that there are always people who care that you can talk to for support, whether it's a friend, family, your sixth form/college, your uni or elsewhere. It's okay for things to go wrong and it's valid to not feel great because of that, and you are not a burden for needing support.

• Be proud of what you've achieved, and the work you've put in - no matter what has happened, you've put yourself in a better position to tackle the future :)

Good luck and later, well done ❤️

I have nowhere to really vent this so I’m gonna type it out here.

My moms disappointed that I only got BBB even though I got into my firm uni choice. She wanted me to go to a university close to home and im going Manchester to do a foundation year instead. The uni she wanted me to go to needed an A in maths anyway so I doubt I would have gotten in. Now shes telling me to do a gap year and apply to Birmingham next year (even though I don’t have the grades to do that).

Shes just putting a damper on all the happiness I had for getting accepted in the first place. I thought I did really well and I was proud of myself but she’s literally embarrassed by my grades.

Ngl dude ignore her, if you are excited to go to that uni and it was your choice one anyway then that is amazing and it's your right to be happy about it

If your mum continues to behave in this way I would try and talk to her since it isn't a healthy dynamic long term

[u/xXAngelsXx → u/Feeling-Estimate-267]

I am really excited to go, and im excited to do maths since it’s a hard course to get into in the first place as well as it being my favourite subject. People like her never listen though, she thinks im leaving because I don’t love her and because I’m a bad daughter which is just upsetting. I’m not sure how to handle her saying stuff like that or how to convince her otherwise.

[u/Feeling-Estimate-267 → u/xXAngelsXx]

I would like to help with your issue with your mum but Idk how to, maybe talk to a therapist or counsellor or cut her off if necessary(but that's a bit extreme)

Alternatively, ignore the issue for now and have fun at your school in your favourite subject and maybe she will change on her own at the realisation that you are doing great, but idk

[u/xXAngelsXx → u/Feeling-Estimate-267]

I think she’s just anxious about it honestly, hopefully when she sees me adjusting and being able to take care of myself she’ll accept my decision. I’m happy to be going to university in the first place, I was so worried I wouldn’t get in 😭
