We have all experienced that exam where you leave the exam hall wanting to tie yourself to an anchor and throw yourself into the sea.
So, next time that happens, just take a break and have a kit kat (ha ha ha ha ha just kidding) but seriously, take a break and remember these things...
1. These exams mean at lot at the moment, yes but when you are lying on your death bed. It is highly doubtful that you will be lying there thinking "thank god I managed to get 4 A-Levels"
2. Life is the longest thing you will live! Many people go on about "how life is short" but really, you have plenty of time. If you really want those 4 A* grades then re take the exams. It doesn't matter if you have to spend an extra year doing it. You haven't "wasted a year of your life" you will just be extra prepared for your re take.
3. Leading figures in the world have usually had a fall back, Barack Obama didn't succeed at school and Steve Jobs got fired from his own company. They still accomplished.
4. Are. You. Going. To. Die. From. Failing.
The answer is, no. And since I would say yourselves or a family member or friend dieing is the worst thing in the world, then it isn't the end of the universe.
5. The clock will continue to tick. As much as you might want to give up completely and dive into a black whole at the moment, your life will go on. This time next month, something brilliant may have happened that makes you so happy. It is only bad at the moment.
