    Dwelling on past results?
    Today I had just got my A level results, in which I got two Cs and an E. The two Cs were in Sociology and ICT while the E was in English Language. Although I only needed a C to get into the uni I wanted and to do the course I wanted, and I'm very happy that I got a confirmed place there, at the same time I feel a little unhappy. I wish I could have been more intelligent from birth to the present time. At GCSE, I got a C in English, a C in Science, a C in ICT and a B in Health and Social Care while I did rubbish in other subjects and although I'm hardworking and have put in more effort along the way, I still feel as if I'm rather dumb. I've never got As or anything on my exam results, although in Sociology, I would get As on my assignments. I'm not particularly talented at anything in the academic field, just average and I get jealous of people who achieve Bs, As and A*s which I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. I know I should appreciate the person who I am, but I'm finding it really difficult.

    As you have met the requirements for your university course then what are you worrying about.
    They wouldn't of made such a low offer if the course was going to be way above your ability. After all it's not medicine your studying, where the work is extremely taxing and involved.

    So suck it up and stop feeling sorry for yourself.
    Above all enjoy university life..

    Your intelligence is not your grades on classes, your grades on classes depends on the teachers ability, and your ability to take tests some of the most intelligent people do bad on tests. Looking back or worry about a C merely harms everyone
