After you’ve picked up your results it’s time to start planning your next steps. If you’ve received the grades you expected, then your place at your chosen university will be confirmed soon. If things didn’t turn out quite as you’d expected – DON’T WORRY! We have spoken to happiness guru Vic Gilgeous who has given us top ten tips to staying positive throughout the situation.
- Keep in mind that an exam result doesn’t define you
- Try and stay calm. Clear mindedness helps you navigate difficult situations
- Attitude is everything. Keep trying and ask for help and advice
- Keep soldering on and look for alternatives – there are always more options available
- Have confidence that, in the end, you will find the right solution
- Bad days will come and go, let none of that phase you
- Persistence always wins, never give in and lose your confidence
- When you go after what matters to you with perseverance it will happen
- Don’t be too hard on yourself and think too negatively
- Learn from life’s ups and downs – and don’t let this disappointment define you
