11 Stages Of Results Day PANIC

Fear, guilt, hope, denial. The 11 stages all students go through before they get their grades.

1. RELIEF

Exams are over. I'm gonna party with my buddies and play some sport in the sunshine. Results? Pfftt they're ages away while I get my Falcao on

2. DENIAL

It's two months away—future sensible me will deal with it. It's nothing to do with current 'wake up at lunchtime with my hand down my pants' and 'make a fort to play the xbox' me

3. HOPE

Well, everyone goes to uni right? It'll work out. It's just like going from GCSEs to A levels. It'll be fine—my Mum will sort it out. Mum sorting stuff out does not stop me from being a proper adult.

4. GUILT

Maybe I could've done more. Maybe watching Game of Thrones wasn't helping my A level History revision. But it looks old so that means it counts as history.

5. FORGIVENESS

Sure past me was a lazy, worthless, waste of space that should've been revising instead of playing COD. But everyone deserves forgiveness, even Gary Oak from Pokemon

6. PEACE

One can only beat results day and clearing if one can achieve inner peace. Get some inner peace in spades by doing a quick check of what you need to prepare for on results day

7. BARGAINING

So if I stop eating a pack of bacon a day, does that give me karma back from my lack of revision? What if I stop watching Jeremy Kyle and Judge Rinder? DAMMIT GIVE ME KARMA

8. FEAR

What if it doesn't work out? What if I'm that weird kid who never leaves town and still dates the girls in sixth form. I must get to uni, any uni.

9. ANGER

It was my teacher's fault. He/she just didn't like me. It wasn't my genius pranks like playing high pitched noises from my phone. Nah it was definitely not my fault

10. SELF DOUBT

Maybe, actually it was my fault. Maybe I'm a complete failure in life. I mean look at my sister—she's smart, organised and has a grip on life. Maybe I was adopted.

11. ACCEPTANCE

Whatever will be will be. All I need to do is get prepared and read up on what might happen on results day and think about which unis I might like to go to if stuff doesn't work out.
