I’m sure a bunch of you are starting to worry, it’s results day tomorrow, and for a lot of people these results have a reasonable impact to what you’re going to do for the next few years / rest of your life.
Just remember that whatever happens, it’s okay.
Some people have no plans to go to uni, and that’s okay.
Some people have plans to go to uni, and they will find out it’s not what they expected, they’ll hate the social side, and it’ll be a means to an end, and that’s okay.
Some people will go to uni, and everything will be great, and that’s okay.
Some people will go to uni and struggle through every second, maybe retake a year, and doubt themselves each step of the way, they might continue or they might drop out, and that’s okay.
Some people had plans to go to uni, but didn’t get the grades, there’s a lot of options still open to you. There are retakes, or clearing, or different methods of study, and that’s okay.
Uni isn’t for everybody, all three admins have been to / are attending uni, we all have had very different experiences, and we’re all happy to talk about them / answer any questions to the best of our abilities.
Regardless of the outcome, you’ve all done fantastically. I’m incredibly proud of you all for getting where you are, and whichever decision you make is the right one. There is no wrong way to go about planning for the next few years, or rest of your life. Sometimes people take a detour for a few years, sometimes people finish their degree and realise that’s not what they want, sometimes people don’t go to uni and realise a degree is what they want.
As long as you’re happy, everything is fine. Do what you think will make you happy, because that’s the most important thing.
