AS Level results day 2014

Results day. One of the most daunting times of the year and quite frankly I am the worst person to deal with stress. Last year’s G.C.S.E results day is a perfect example; I started tearing up (I DIDN'T CRY) before I even knew my results OH AND I made my friend open my envelope for me. Yeaah, thank God that’s over.

.

Back to the point, I'm proud to say that this year wasn't as hectic as last year, I surprisingly managed to keep myself calm. I said to myself: ‘whatever happens happens, you can’t change your results'. YUP those were my amazing words of wisdom. But in actuality if it wasn't for my friends that I had around me the stress would have doubled (its always nice to have a comforting person around you).

SO, what did I get? B in Psychology, C in Philosophy, C in History and to top that off a D in English lit. Ironically, I was actually predicted a D in is psychology (my least favourite subject) and a B for English lit (my favourite subject) so I was really very upset to  find out that I wasn't going to be continuing English Lit at A2. You never know though I just might start loving psychology.

I guess we don’t always get what we want and I am learning to cope with that by trying to change my preferences around a little which is something that we all have to do once in a while even if it might seem hard at first. I saw a lot of people that were disappointed with their grades yesterday and it made me realise that it is important to choose the right subjects for your individual abilities. Do I think I chose the right subjects? yes, but I only eventually realised  this through trial and error. And it may not seem like this through my results, but as I said we all have our own individual abilities.

Lastly I just want to ask, is anyone else’s school like this? we were put us into groups of Green and Red. Green meant you’re staying and Red meant you have to leave. I personally think that was a cruel move to make BUT HEY that’s my school and life goes on.

Quote of the day: "Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit."
