A-Levels



When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case, a princess. When we were ten, they asked again. We answered rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this: who the hell knows? This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love… a lot. Major in philosophy, cause there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind and change it again, because nothing’s permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be, we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.


So, i received my A level results on Friday and i think it totally deserve a post by itself.
A levels took up 2 years of my life and honestly,
those 2 years were the most dreadful and painful years of life till now.

During the past 2 years,
I cried a lot, whined a lot, regretting and thoughts of giving up ran through my mind countless times.
But more than anything, i was encapsulated by the fear of not being able to enter university.

My results are far from splendid,
but i should be able to enter a local university.
I am not eligible for most of the better courses, but hopefully, i can enter FASS.

Everyone's moving on and having a headache deciding which path to take.
Filled with uncertainties and yet at the same time excited,
i'm looking forward to university life.

Putting my A level experience behind,
the future awaits.
