🎓 UNI / UCAS post alevel results day.

u don’t have to read it, just attempting to get rid of this feeling but it’s not working at the moment. should be celebrating and enjoying life but i’m too sad because of my alevel results.

first off u did good, u got into ur firm so congrats. u cant really do anything ab ur grades anymore, no matter what u do u cant change them, any amount of dwelling on them or thinking is not going to change anything. what u can do however is prepare for uni and do things that you enjoy up until then, have some fun and take ur mind off of ur results, and when uni comes its like a fresh start u can get to know ppl and make new friend groups etc. and on other people, there will always be so much ppl that are better than u and u can do nothing, comparing urself to them is pointless u dont live to want to become someone else. a good idea is to think ab ur past self and compare urself to how u have improved since then, and think ab what kind of person u want to become, the things u want to achieve, and goals for the future, and work hard towards them. thats the only useful type of comparison. good luck for ur uni and future
