I am so scared of missing my uni offer
I'm doing so much revision and trying as hard as I can with my a-levels, but the thought of me missing my offer gives me so much anxiety.
Its all I can think about and I don't know how I'd ever forgive myself if I did. Anyone else feeling this way?

Hi there,
This is completely relatable and understandable. I'm actually a final year student at university but, in all honesty, I thought I wouldn't make it this far in life.
During my A-levels, I decided to study English Literature, Psychology and Physics. I hated Physics with a passion and honestly thought I was going to fail this subject and not get into university. I even went to my head of year and asked whether I'd be able to change subjects but they said no to me.
Then covid-19 happened and thought 'this is it... I screwed it all up.' But actually I saw covid-19 as something I could benefit from since my grades were based off the internal exams held during class (as we had no external exams as a result of covid-19), not that I was achieving great grades on these exams anyways.
I still persevered and my final grades for physics were a D. I didn't fail but I thought it might not be high enough to get accepted into university. That's when I realised I had also been eligible for a Turing scheme. The Turing scheme basically lowered my offer down from BBB to CCC. This really helped me get accepted into university. Although I was on the verge of screwing my life up, luck was on my side. As a result, I used this opportunity to study really hard in university and here I am almost graduating soon.
When I did start university, I had only realised then that even if I did not get the grades I needed, there were alternative routes to pursue. I could have applied for an apprenticeship or went to college then university. I know some people who have a successful job but never even went to university or completed their A-levels.
I realised no matter what happens it's not the end of the world as long as you continue to work hard and persevere. All the hard-work will pay off eventually, although the actual process can be painful to go through.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
