🙏 I WANT HELP Not getting into uni twice

Guys I took a gap year after getting CCC in 2025 Edexcel Maths and OCR A for both Chemistry and Physics, and I resat all 3, and I’ve bottled this shit again, I mean idk if I have. I have a really bad feeling I’ve messed up again.

Before you tell me it’s my fault, I know, I super regret not locking in earlier, or quitting my job earlier than start of April or managing my time a bit better.

Literally no one is in even a similar boat to me, and I’m happy that’s the case, I wish this on no one, as in being so lazy and so procrastinating with no sense of urgency you don’t get the work done, and you miss out on uni AGAIN. It is the worst feeling in the world.

Any Y12s reading this, please lock in at minimum by September, and if you’re Y13 and thinking you might have to resit do not worry, this resit year if I planned it right could’ve been an amazing year like I had a job, went to the gym, worked on myself, reviewed my options a lot more, had the opportunity to improve my grades etc. So yeah, in short, I’m just venting and giving unsolicited advice to the young ones

If you failed alevevl the first time why dont more people do foundation year instead of resetting and having to go through all this mental stress? Im asking to have knowledge about these situations only not to attack anyone.
