A Level results day.

Shout-out to all my HE digital homies, already up and mainlining coffee.

NOT YOU RUSSELL GROUP OR OXBRIDGE. NOT YOU.

And remember: your exam results are an important milestone, but they DO NOT define you. And success is always relative.

Enormous congratulations if you get your expected grades. Well done!

But even if you don't, DON'T WORRY. It's just a bump in a very long road.

You👏Got👏this

And if you didn't get exactly what you needed for your chosen institution, DON'T PANIC.

Speak to them. See what they say. And even if they say no, DON'T WORRY.

It's their loss. Not yours. Take a deep breath, and shop around.

There are other unis out there who'll welcome you ♥️

Is it what you planned for? No. And that's scary. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE UPSET AND A BIT SCARED.

But failure is part of life. And sometimes you can do your absolute best and still lose.

It's not a mark against you. It just means you need to change the direction you travel a bit.

But the outcome can still be the same.

You WILL go to uni this year (if that's what you still want).

You WILL get to study what you love (unless you want to try something a bit different now).

And every single one of us working on Clearing today can't wait to help you. ♥️
