Fed up

I'm just so sick and tired of everything. I just want to relax for a few months then go to uni. Uni is the light at the end of my tunnel. But first, I've got to put up with exams, and worst of all, I have to pass some of them. I need ABC/BBB to get into my first choice uni, and at the moment I'm on ABB, so have to work at least a little bit to keep those grades up. But really, I'm just between one part of life and another. Secondary school is over, I never tried my best, because I couldn't be bothered, and it's too late to start now, and socialy my life up until now has been a non-event. Unlike two years ago, where there was a huge send off after GCSEs, and I felt like I'd accomplished something, now I'm just so bored with exams after having them for the past 3 years, that it's just been another year at school, and life at school has just slowly petered out into nothingness. I've loved this girl for the past 3 years, and wanted to go to the prom with her, but does she? No. She wants to go as a group. So there we go, no grand finale, no great ending, just exams, then a long, crap summer to worry about my results.

In short, I feel like I'm in a rut, at a point in my life where I should be trying my hardest and have great ambitions. Even after exams are over, I still won't feel finished till I get my results, and can finally relax with the knowledge that I can go to uni. I just want this part of my life, (which is supposed to be the best of all, and has actually been pretty crap) to be over.

Anyone else feeling like this at the moment?

Your uni years will be the best years of your life, it's easy to get bogged down by exams and feel burdened by the immense pressure of making all the right choices at this stage of your life.

Relax, maybe the girl you like is just shy and nervous, if not - move on, you're young, easy come easy go.

Have fun, while you still can

Congratulations you are me (but I don't have the girl thing). Seriously loads of people feel like you, don't worry about it.

Actually I'm curious, how do you think the summer will be crap? Why not organize summat with your mates? reading/leeds/amsterdam?

I feel exactely the same to everything in your post [minus the girl thing, as im a girl]
The only reason i was sad to leave school was because i felt like i didnt really achieve anything there. Outside of school, im a completely different person, and i didnt like not being in control of things at school- i just let people get on with things and i didnt really contribute in the way i usually do.
I've got such high hopes for uni, and i really want to make a good-go of it, but now im kind of thinking that maybe it wont live up to its expectations..
So yes, dont worry your not the only one. Its such a horrible feeling i know, from now on i think im just going to put my head down and get on with it, and then relax when exams are over [and finally relax when results come out] and enjoy the summer.

you do realise this will be, like, the last time in your life that you're actually truly 'worry-free'?! once you're at uni you'll still have all the same stresses of exams/success/failure etc but on top of it all you'll have the pressures of debt, serious relationships, career decisions which could affect the rest of your future, not to mention the impending mortgages, marriage, children, pension etc you'll have to deal with after university.

seriously, i envy you your position right now. i promise you'll look back in even as soon as one year and realise how lucky you are.

Best thing to do is not build your hopes up and be thinking of a back up plan. The worst thing that can happen is that you don't get in but you can always resit A levels and apply next time. Failing this you will be almost a mature student and can get some experience to help with your application. There is no rush to go to uni and start a career have fun while you're young.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I feel like uni will be simpler cos it'll be a fresh start. You won't have all that baggage from the last 7 years, where you can't really change anything because people's impression of you from year 7 is still there. I've also felt, not like I'm pressured into hanging around with the same group of friends all the time, but that because it's been the last year and I do like them so much, and I've been friends with them for so long, why go out and make new ones now? It's not that bad, I'll just be glad to get to uni and be able to meet a whole new load of people.

Hmm, it seems you can't edit your post when posting anonymously. Oh well. In answer to why I don't arrange something during the summer, a lot of my friends are going away to Monoglia on World Challange, and another of my best friends are a couple, so they'll probably be doing stuff together most of the time. If I can drive it won't be too bad, I've failed my test 3 times so far, and have another one this time next week. I considered cancelling it and leaving it till after my exams, but I thought what the hell, if I fail I just take it again. Whereas if I leave it till June, if I fail again that'll be pretty much the whole summer gone. At least now I have 2 chances to pass before the long summer break, rather than 1.

Yup. Your me, along with everyone else who has said this. Find some way to relieve the frustration. No... not that, I was acctually thinking along the lines of play a sport until you are completely and utterly nackered then have a rest, then get down to work. My summers gona rock though. I'm gona try hard to stop thinking about making the grade and just have a bloody wicked time. Try being spontaneous. Pick up your stuff one day and say "hm... I wana go there".

Anyway, join me if you wish by expressing your freelings as such *clears throat*:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
