Five Things To Do If You Don’t Get The Exam Results You Want

Exams can be stressful and results-day is equally as nerve-wracking. Here are some top tips if you didn’t receive the results you were hoping for.

Don’t panic. This is more of a ‘what not to do’ but it’s really important. This is not the end of the world, no matter what it feels like now. Take some time to think about your options and most importantly don’t rush into a decision you might regret later on.

Let out your emotions. It’s not always good to ‘keep it all in’. If you’ve suffered a disappointment, you’re allowed to be sad or angry or frustrated. It’s normal to feel these kinds of emotions. Sometimes having a good old cry will really help the situation. According to research allowing yourself time to experience and explore your feelings is not something to be shied away from. If you’ve always been told that only weak people cry, or that crying is just for women or children, think again. It’s the body’s natural way of releasing stress and helping you to deal with disappointing situations. Keeping it all in is actually the unhealthy option. According in Neuroscientist and tear researcher Dr. William H. Frey II, “crying is a natural way to reduce emotional stress that, left unchecked, has negative physical affects on the body”, including increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and other stress-related disorders.”

Don’t give up on your dream. If, for instance, you didn’t get the A-level results you were hoping for or expecting but are still super set on pursuing the same course, we encourage you to get in contact with the university you’d hoped to go to. Lay out your case and ask them whether you might still be considered—there is no harm in asking. You can also check out other universities through clearing and see what they still have available. If you want it more badly still, you may even decide to resit the year. That might sound like the worst thing ever, but actually, you may find that you understand stuff way more the second time round.

Get advice from people you trust. Your family and friends will probably all have different ideas of how you can go forward so listen to them! But remember, at the end of the day, this is your decision and you have to choose what will be best for you. There are also some really great articles out there about how people have bounced back from bad exam results and how to tackle not doing so well in your A-levels. You’ll soon find that there are lots of people who have found themselves in a similar boat to you.

Consider doing something different. Sometimes shut doors (or bad results) can lead you through new and exciting doors you’d never have imagined. This could be another college course, a year out, volunteering, work placements—there are endless options.

Mom: ' well you need to call them and ask.'

Me: I dont think you understand how much i cannot do that.

Don’t Let Depression Drag You Down

So the other day I was going through Tumblr and I saw another interesting post about depression. I know, I know, there are many post about depression on Tumblr, and you also probably know that I wrote an earlier article about depression because of one of those post. But just bear with me here, this post that I saw was no ordinary post.

That post gave a wonderfully written solution on how to tackle the whole depression thing. And the answer, even though it might seem quite simple, actually makes a lot of sense.

It’s basically, to have a goal.

Depression is when you don’t feel like doing anything because you just don’t see the point. But having a goal is the exact opposite as that (www.ascendancepro.com). Having a goal, one that means the world to you, that makes your Heart smile every time you think about it, can change everything. You’ll commit your life and soul into it and do anything to achieve it. You probably think I sound kinda idealistic. But I’ve been there before. It sounded idealistic to me too, when I was on the other side, but it works. I used to not see the point in things, though I was not depressed, I was more confused to as why I was doing the things I was doing. But that changes when you have a goal.

For me, when I set my goals, and worked towards achieving them, it was like a fire had awaken in my chest, a fire that grew more and more until the need to achieve my goal became of paramount importance. If that truly is the goal for you, it will drive you crazy with passion to just think about it.

But how do you decide what goal is for you? You listen to your Heart. No, not your Emotions or your Mind, your all-knowing Spiritual Heart which connects you to them whole universe. (Confused about the Heart and Mind? Check out our article: Confusions about the Heart and Mind)

Your Heart, even though it might not be apparent to you, knows what you want. It will tell you what your goal is. It’s normally a talent, hobby or something you’re just doing in your free time. But most of the time, the thought of that being your goal would already kick start the passion within you to get started on it because you love it so much.

Having a goal gives you a purpose, a reason to stand and fight. It consumes you until not only you want but you need, to achieve it. And when you begin doubting your goal, remember that you’re doing it for you, because it makes you happy and your Heart says so. Your goal is something you love.

So listen to your Heart, discover what you want. Set a goal and stick to it. And most importantly, enjoy the journey of getting there. Remember, there is a purpose for you being here. Don’t let depression drag you down.

It’s a sickness, just like any other one. Just because you can’t exactly see it doesn’t mean it’s fake or non-existend

Worried someone is depressed?

Depression can develop slowly. Someone who is depressed doesn’t always realise or acknowledge that they’re not behaving as they usually do.

Often it’s a a partner, family member or carer who first realises help is needed and encourages their relative or friend to see a doctor or find another source of support.

Feeling sad from time to time is normal. But if this lasts more than a couple of weeks or starts to affect everyday life, help is usually needed.

What are the signs that someone may be depressed?

There are many symptoms of depression. These include low mood, feelings of hopelessness, low self-esteem, lack of energy and problems with sleep. The more symptoms someone has, the more likely they are to be depressed. Find out more aboutsymptoms of depression.

The charity Age UK says that signs of depression in older people can include empty fridges and cupboards (which suggest a poor diet), a neglected appearance or poor hygiene, or someone showing little joy in receiving visitors.

Tips to help someone who seems down

Depression Alliance, a charity that provides support for people affected by depression, gives the following advice to friends, family and carers:

Encourage the person you’re worried about to see their doctor.

Encourage them to talk, and listen to what they say.

Let them know you care about them.

Remind them they can’t help being affected by depression.

Encourage them to help themselves, for example by doing regular exercise, eating a balanced diet and taking part in activities they enjoy.

Get information about the services available to them, such aspsychological therapy services and support groups in their area.

Stay in contact with them by sending a card, phoning or visiting them. People who are depressed can become isolated because they often find it difficult to leave their home.

If the person you’re worried about expresses suicidal feelings, contact a GP or NHS 111. You can also contact Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 for confidential support.

I hate that mental disorders have turned into a competition. you cant discuss eating habits without someone saying how they survived off green tea for 3 weeks and weighed 4 stone. you can’t discuss your depression because another person has already tried to commit suicide 8 times and theyre only 12. you cant discuss self harm because you punch your leg till it turns purple whilst they slice their arm to the bone. you cant talk about addiction because someone else will talk about facing their crack addiction for 18 years. every god damn time you even come close to wanting to reach out you know theres no point because in other people’s eyes you’re never sick enough. there’s always someone worse off. that’s the problem with attitudes to mental health. this ‘oh suck it up you’re not as bad as me/them’ HAS to stop. you have no idea how much a problem affects a person because, okay it might seem like nothing to you but to them their entire world is breaking down and they just have to wait till they either figure it out on their own, or become so sick that people can’t deny it any more. and by then its usually too late.
