Results Day Worries

So it’s been just over two weeks since my final exam and everything has been great....until now. I’m constantly worried about two of my GCSEs in particular: maths and physics. Since I want to do them two for a levels, I need a 7 in both (7 in maths is required for both) and I am so paranoid that I won’t get it. Sitting the exams I felt fine, there wasn’t a particular paper that I thought screwed me over as there usually is, but you can never properly judge it. I think part the reason why I’m worrying is because there is nothing I can do about it now. I know that’s typically a reason why people don’t worry, but it’s the fact the I’m now stuck with whatever I get, and can’t do anything about it. I could always get it remarked but that costs a lot of money, and also with maths and physics, you either have the answer or don’t, unlike English where it can be interpreted differently. Perhaps I’m just worrying too much over nothing, but if I don’t get into these two a levels, then there is no point doing the third (Product Design) as I mainly want to go down the engineering route of that career. So the long and short of it is, any advice to conquer fear of results day?

Why worry about things you have no control over? Your fate has already been sealed, you have to accept the good and the bad. Other doors will always open and when you look back, you will feel happy. I wanted to do medicine, but didn't get the grades. now I manage vast sums of money as a hobby while doing a PhD. I am totally happy with what I do and you should be as well.

Always work hard and let the universe open the doors for you, do not be attached to inaction but work without the need for the fruits of action. You'll be surprised where you will end up.
