Your social media feed will immediately turn into a psychological case study. First, there’s the overachiever who posts a photo of their three A*s with the caption “Buzzing!” – they’re already wearing a university hoodie. Then, you have the chaotic neutral with the “I passed, whatever” meme, who is secretly crying into a bowl of cereal. Finally, there’s the absolute legend who posts a picture of a blank page with “I slept through my alarm. AMA.” We are all that third person in spirit.
Record Results Are In Across The West Midlands For The Sandwell College
The clearing chaos is like Black Friday for anxious teenagers
If your results aren’t what you wanted, welcome to Clearing. It’s basically a digital scrum where thousands of you are trying to grab a place at a university you didn’t know existed until ten minutes ago. You’ll be on the phone with a lecturer from “University of [Random Town]” while simultaneously Googling “is [Random Town] nice?”. Spoiler: every town is “nice” when you’re desperate.
The whole process feels like speed dating for your future. “Hi, I’m a 2:1 in History. I like long walks on the beach and crying over essays. Do you have a place for me?” It’s absurd, but it’s our absurd. You will laugh about this in October. Possibly between lectures.
