I feel like a potato

Everyone else is getting there uni offers back or about to apply for uni. All my friends are so smart and everyone around me in class whenever I hear them talking about what they're results were and what they need for uni it makes me feel like crap. I'm not going to uni next year but I'm applying anyway INCASE I change my mind, I barely have the minimum requirements for most of the courses I'm applying for. I hate school so much and I feel like a dumb **** and I don't know what to do anymore because school is stressful and being at home is stressful. All my friends are so smart I feel like I got the lowest grades in the whole year why am I still even around I should just give up. what should I do? Does anyone have any advice on how to make the last year of school as stress free as possible..

Hey,

Sorry to hear you're feeling so stressed at the moment.

What courses have you applied to? It sounds like maybe applying this year before you're 100% sure you want to go is making you more stressed out. You can always take a gap year and reapply next year when you've got your grades (way less stressful that way). I wasn't sure about uni either so I took a year out to work and travel a bit - saved some money for uni and felt more certain about exactly what I wanted to do. :smile:

From what you've said, right now it seems like your main focus needs to be on your A-levels. TSR has loads of helpful resources to help you: Study Planner, loads of revision tips and keeping de-stressed tips here, current year 13 chat thread and Study Help subject forums where you can get help with subjects you're finding tough.

Have you spoken to any of your tutors at sixth form about how you're feeling? They should be able to support you with your work :h:
