Luckily for me, I guess I did pretty well, definitely qualifying for a spot in medicine in a UK university.
But the general atmosphere around college is that of doom and gloom. What with all the 4th papers being a troll and all, lowering everyone's mark well below the level they needed/expected. So now everyone's like"I'm gonna retake this paper", "I can't slack anymore", "I need to study now"....
And with the additional release of SPM and STPM results, even social media can't escape this darkness. Sure, with elections coming up everyone is bound to get a higher grade (politics. don't ask.), but still people complain. I guess good is never good enough for some people, or they might just be unlucky.
I'm fine with that, really, given my results (HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOx9999).
But seriously, this made me think of a few things. 3, actually.
Number one. For those who got shitty results (according to them), complaining about your results won't change anything. So you rant about your results-not-meeting-your-expectations, fishing for sympathic comments, and what do you get? More time wasted on the page you ranted on, while you could use the time to actually prepare better for the next paper. Seriously, guys. While you go on and on about how the marker's/teacher's a beyotch and demanding for a remark/resit, some are out there working hard to make sure they don't get as bad a result. If you want something good that bad, work for it with your hands, not with your mouth.
Number two. For those who got outstanding results (according to them), congratulations. You deserved it. But please, don't shove it into everyone's faces. We know you did better than others, so don't tell them that every day. Imagine what that does to their self-esteem! Granted, I maaaay have slipped into that stage once or twice, but I know it's not good, to me and to others. I'm still keeping tabs on myself. It's not nice to have your nose so high up in the air.Number three. And this is directed to myself. WHAT IN SEVEN BELLS ARE YOU DOING BLOGGING AND 9GAGGING WHEN EXAMS ARE TWO MONTHS AWAY?!!!?!? Seriously, I've gotta stop doing that. Everyone around me is affected by the post-results depression and studying to dry up the midnight oil, aaaand I'm here. Someone stop me please.
Here's hoping that everyone (me inclusive) will step up their game (...okay, might be a wrong choice of wording...) and make this year's result way better than last year.
Hopefully, when I write next time, it'll be after exams, and I'm not depressed.
Cya.
