Especially when you didn’t particularly study!
1. When you wake up in the morning and your results are the first thing on your mind.
2. When you dedicate all offerings at church to God asking for good results.
3. When you remember how you failed those midsemester tests.
4. When you remember how you didn’t answer all the questions during the exam.
5. And you remember that your coursemates were asking for extra sheet and you were just confused.
6. When you start going through your old question papers, trying to figure out what percentage you can actually get.
7. When you snap at your siblings for every little thing because you’re nervous.
8. When you’re very ready to explain to your parents how the exams were marked very harshly, and that actually the cutoff marks were too high.
9. And then you start to invent other excuses.
10. When your nosy relatives keep asking about them and reminding you and your parents.
11. When you convince yourself that you have failed.
12. And you know that your parents will never let you forget this bad result.
This is not life.
13. Then you start to read up on people who did amazingly at life, without passing their exams.
14. But you realize that your best friend will probably ace her papers… and your parents know them.
15. When your friends tell you that results are out.
16. And they’re calling you and telling you how great they did.
17. But you realize you don’t actually want to see them… Schrodinger’s result.
18. At this point, you accept that people aren’t perfect, and that failure is not the end of the world.
19. Then you finally log on to that school portal.
20. And you say a little prayer while you wait.
21. I passed!!!! PARRT-AY-AY!!!
