Exams are Depressing

"WOW I'M FUCKING GLAD THAT'S OVER"
-every normal teenager after exam/s ie. me

Ok so these past weeks have been a monstrous hell hole in my life and I can totally see why the Chinese commit suicide as they have even harder things to deal with than us 'brits', during these harsh times.

I am only a vulnerable little 15 year old (year 10 in le UK) and there is only so much I can bear in my eventful, majestic daily life. LET ALONE NEARLY DIE OF STRESS FROM THE PRESSURE OF MULTIPLE EXAMS IN THE SPACE OF 11 DAYS.

"If you don't do well in your exams, no one will hire you"

"Everyone hates failures"

"If you fail these exams you may as well go die in a hole"

"You will stack shelves in your local Tesco if you fuck up this exam, unless you like the smell of 'every little helps' with added failure as a bonus"
f-u-n.

No, but what freaks me out most about exams is that they're going to be on a permanent record, for the rest of our depressing lives. Like a prison life sentence. (they even give us a "candidate number")

Ugh I just really wish there was some other way that we could all be judged on intelligence. Instead of being judged on memory and how well you can 'apply your knowledge'. Someone needs to invent a machine that tells you how intelligent someone is or something

no fuck that, that's a shit idea Eve. What the fuck are you thinking if you came up with delusional answers like that in a GCSE exam then you would most definitely fail you stupid shit.

BUT THEY EXPECT SO MUCH FROM US

  • They don't care about how we would also like to enjoy our lovely social lives (I can honestly say I have not had a real social life for about 1 year). Like all those cool american kids you see in movies who roam around their countries with pure freedom


  • They don't care about how much we've learnt or understand about the subject. If we don't use the correct keywords, we don't get the fucking mark.


  • They don't care that we have piles of homework in addition to revision.


I can just picture one of those examiners right now. 

Chuckling to himself. 
With his beard going mad across his face.
Temporarily blinding him
Then fabulously smoothing it off of his stupid face like Elvis.
AND THEN PROCEEDING TO MARK MY WORK AS 'FAIL'

whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy



*rant over (for now)



On an intelligent note, I know there is nothing that can be done about how we are 'judged' (and this is probably the best way they judge us and teach us things at the same time) and I guess it also shows employers how hard we are willing to work to achieve what we want (or don't give two shits about)... I don't want to change anything, I just needed to get my thoughts out there okaiiii xoxo.

Peace owt students

from Eve the miserable (and frequently grammatically incorrect) pupil.
