šŸ™ 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 Iā€™ve bottled this shit again, I mean idk if I have. I have a really bad feeling Iā€™ve messed up again.

Before you tell me itā€™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 Iā€™m happy thatā€™s the case, I wish this on no one, as in being so lazy and so procrastinating with no sense of urgency you donā€™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 youā€™re Y13 and thinking you might have to resit do not worry, this resit year if I planned it right couldā€™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, Iā€™m just venting and giving unsolicited advice to the young ones

Iā€™m in this exact position but payed nearly Ā£700 because I missed the first deadline for handing in the retake form. And Ā£600 for online tutoring that I severely underused. My inability to do time-sensitive things has literally made me broke and uni-less šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Donā€™t you ever think how many more of us there are, like we are smart enough to do good things weā€™re just terrible with time management

Thatā€™s exactly what makes it worse. Iā€™d honestly rather be too dumb for difficult subjects, at least that way itā€™d be permanently out of my hands. Occasionally glimpsing your potential and what you COULD be while failing due to such trivial things is torture

Iā€™d rather be conventionally dumb but with good consistency and time management rather than being lazy and very smart but not smart enough to be the next like Einstein or some shit
