Seeing you cry about exams when you work so hard = 💔
I cried everyday before an exam
Try studying in China, you won’t even survive🤦🏻♀️
Whatever grades you get, you’ve worked so so hard, and no matter what you should be so proud. I know you put so much pressure on yourself to do well, but please relax and trust yourself. So many people in the comments are saying ‘I know you’ll ace it and have all A*’, which is such a lovely sentiment, but they’re putting to much pressure on you. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FEEL PRESSURE FROM YOUR AUDIENCE TO DO WELL, WE’RE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU AND JUST WISH YOU THE BEST xx
THIS THIS THIS! No extra pressure is needed in exam season, it's stressful as it is!
Could not agree more omg
^ thank you so much all. I wanted to write an encouraging message as I know myself how stressful this time is(I just did my As levels) and I just want Lydia to know that she is doing so great, and we’re all so proud!!☺️
I wouldn't stress over the English too much as sooo many people struggled with the comedy q so they'll hopefully be more lenient, and you have paper 2 to bring it back!! :) xxx
"there's nothing funny, everybody dies"...
Lydia, you are extremely capable and even though this sounds clichè, grades don't define your intelligence. The examiners are always a little more generous than your teachers, so don't think you will do terrible. We all believe in you and you will definitely come out with respectable grades. Good luck with your exams and keep up the hard work!! We love you 💛💛
Josef Stalin was a good man.
Agree 100% but examiners are often harsher than teachers in my experience 😂
Exams do not show or allow anyone to show their true potential xx
Watching this instead of revising for my GCSE’s.....🥵
Same I only have three more exams then I’m on summer break for 10 weeks
idk.
What did you get?
@@nicolelawless3199 what did you get
I actually hate AQA, they've sabotaged me in all of my exams so far. Literally the same as you, I've learnt so much for them so ask on tiny sections of the spec. So frustrating
Just got to the end of the video. Hope you're okay. I can really empathise, people never believe me when I say I think I've done badly. Just try and move on, and hope your other exams go better. Sending my love x
Tell me about it... Roderigo and brabantio for Othello. What bs...
Lets see what they do to us tomorrow😭😫
Don’t worry Edexcel are doing the exact same!
CIE seems to be the only sensible board lol
When I did my A Levels its like they were 'life' - they were everything. Afterwards you realise they are important but your life can go in so many directions that A levels are just a 'part' of that direction. Even totally flunking them is not tragic cos there are so many other options to help you progress.
I feel for you babe I had the same exam and texts, I found both Hamlet questions atrocious I couldn't use any critics or productions in part b despite revising so many! At this point im just moving on...
exams are never a measure of how hard you worked. Sometimes we feel limited because the paper never lets us show off what we actually know. I hope that regardless of your feelings you actually did good. You always have eng paper 2 make up with that
Props to you for putting this out there on UA-cam. Exams are scary enough and being vulnerable on camera is really brave 💛
I would be so frustrated if I didn’t have study leave.
Megan Barker We got off for half term and were given mocks straight away when we got back, then part of our maths and english lit GCSE a week later, with school summer exams starting on Thursday and going through until next Friday with a english language GCSE on Wednesday.... and no study leave. A lot of people took the day off to revise on Friday and we got an email telling us that it was illegal :))
Anna omg that’s awful, how do they expect you to revise for your genuine exams! At GCSE I got all of the summer term off. (I go to private school)
Megan Barker Ikk, it sucks. Thanks for the sympathy! I’m jealous of you but hopefully they’ll change it at our school cause there were a lot of complaints 😂
My school only had a 3 day study leave. My school allows us to have 15 unauthorized absences, so we save them up and skip 2 weeks of school at the end of the year to study
My Crazy World Ah, that’s cool
I have my sociology A level tomorrow morning and today I have struggled so much and i don’t even know how many mental break downs I have had today 😓 But I have just watched this video and omg I have had a boost of motivation. We can do this, it will be all worth it in the end! 💪🏽 thank you for everything 💗💗
Good luck with the rest of your exams Lydia!! I know you’ll do amazingly🥰💕
awh Lydia! I relate so much, I've firmed Leeds too and I SOBBED for hours after my first history exam. It's really tough, fingers crossed for the next ones x
GOOD LUCK LYDIA! We know you will end up acing the exams! Keep going ma gurlll😊😊
As much as I'm sure you will do amazing, remember everything happens for a reason! You've worked so hard and deserve the best xxx
Lydia
You have done your best. We all have seen how hard you worked. And I’m sure the results will be fruitful🥰
Lydia, I really appreciated this vlog. It’s been my first week of exams for me too and I have felt THE EXACT SAME WAY and you’ve helped me realise that it’s okay to be upset. Thank you so much for posting this, keep your head up and go smash the rest of them x
Thanks for making this vlog realistic and we all go through stress and pressure and sometimes seeing you are not alone and even UA-camrs go through it just the makes the experience of watching a video more relatable so thanks
Thank you for posting such an honest video❤
I watch your videos as my daughter is doing her gcse's at the minute & they help me to understand & help her. I think you are a great role model & have a very bright future ahead of you x
Remember, you did the BEST you could have done, with the content and preparation you did, with the questions you were given. You are worthy of success and you will see the results. We all believe in you! Best of luck x
Thanks so much for being raw with us too! I'm feeling terrible about my first two exams too.
I know that emotional support is essentially superficial but please do remember that, like you said, there is nothing more than you could do. We all believe in you!
Yess thanks for making another video like this I was waiting for it
Your tears are full of power, this is the reality of exam season, stay true to yourself Lydia. Wish you all the best x
NOTIF SQUAD!! LOVE U LYDIA AND I HOPE YOUR RESULTS EXCEEDS YOUR EXPECTATIONS 🥰❤
sending you all the love, everything always works out in the end. I'm also doing my A-levels in psychology, law and media. And the stress is REAL. Love how real this vlog was, A levels really is so damaging to our mental health and makes us feel like we are not of our best ability constantly but WE GOT THIS! good luck for everything x
Lydia, good luck my love! I have every faith you'll do well x
rooting for you lydia and everyone else in the middle of exams right now, love you ALL
Good luck Lydia, you are such an inspiration I know you’ll boss through your exams! AQA History is a pain we all feel that don’t worry about it too much xx 🤓
Tough times don't last ...tough people do..stay strong dear !!!
Aw youre a demon, but so nice.
As always. A demon is always a charmer.
I love that quote but I keep forgetting about it, I should turn it into some design or something I can keep.
You are an excellent multi tasker,
I just appreciate your work and best of luck for future dear.....😘😘😘
Lydia i am damn sure u will do well in your exams...coz all of ur fans have prayed for u.
Lydia l love u so much and I will never get sick of your voice !! To prove it I actually have already wanted your uni vlogs and I still came back to watch these vlogs !!! I love u !!🥰🥰
Good luck Lydia. You'll do amazing!
my heart just breaks for you! best of best of luck with the next few weeks xxxxxx
Oh love, you’re such a beautiful, strong and incredibly intelligent young woman! Don’t let exams bring you down, my a-levels were miserable and I thought I’d never succeed at life but now I’m doing what I truly love, I’m best in class, I’m doing nursing school AND go to university at the same time, school doesn’t mean as much as it seems at that time x you’ll be fine and you’ll do AMAZING in the future! I believe in you, keep your head up ❤️
No matter what your results are, you have worked so incredibly hard and you really shouldn’t put pressure on yourself because you will do well and you will be successful because you have the drive and passion xx
Lydia, You have worked so hard from so long, All gonna be go well. Good Luck.❤
I just love how chill you are and the fact that you’re not killing yourself with studying. You’re such an inspirational person. Keep up the good work!!!
dont worry about it!! you will do better than you think, also i feel u a levels are so hard! keep it up!!
I literally had to hold back my own tears when I saw you but this just proves that you care and despite any good or "bad" grades you might get, this is the reality of it and it's better to have a cry than to just, as you said, sugarcoat it. I've had my gcse exams these past couple of weeks and I couldn't relate more and I know the stress right now is FRICKIN' HARD but you will get through this and I hope that when all this is over you have an amazing summer ahead of you with those results in August to take you off to Leeds 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Lydia go for it!!! I love your vlog so much
You are doing so well Lydia honestly, you are clearly putting in so much effort and we can all see that, please don’t be hard on yourself, you’re doing the best you can and that’s all you can do. Don’t worry if the standard of your grades is a little bit lower than you would like, you should still be proud of the work you have done. Dont think too much about the future, focus on what’s happening right now, and whatever results you get will direct you on the path that you are supposed to be on (your fate will unfold haha) love your content and your persistence is so inspiring xx
good luck with your exams, i love your channel ❤️
I was in the exact same place as you last year! Have a good old cry but try not to let your English exam have an impact on the rest of your exams- best of luck!
I feel your pain on the breadth part! I do the stuarts and our source question was on the puritans which have a 0.05 significance rate in our course! it made it so difficult to form an essay that wasn't repetitive. plus our essay questions only focused on the last 50 years of the course and on the topics which have previously been used in past papers.
This vlog reminded me how I felt in my A levels - that I’d completely messed up and wouldn’t get into my first choice uni. But it’s a year later and I just finished my first year at my first choice uni which I got higher grades than I needed for! I bet everyone found the exams as hard as you did so the grade boundaries should reflect that :) Just power on through and you’ll be so proud of yourself on results day x
☹you was crying & that make me sad for a while... don't worry! Everything is gonna be fine at the end🤗
Good luck in your A Level Exams and to anyone else doing them. Fortunately I’m doing my GCSE Exams
Thank-you for keeping me motivated for my GCSE's xx I love how honest your videos are!! Best of luck for the rest of your exams! 💕
Seeing you cry is absolutely heartbreaking, having been through A-Levels last year and feeling like I hadn’t done enough to get my firm uni choice I know exactly what you’re going through and it’s awful! Remember exams NEVER give you the chance to perform to the best of your ability, no one at all can produce their best work ever under those levels of stress and the people who mark your exams know this is the case and mark accordingly! You’ve put so much work in and you’re going to do amazingly just keep your head up!❤️❤️❤️
Everything happens for a reason💘 the grades you get will get you where you’re meant to be, even if it’s not what you’re trying to manifest right now!xx
I do the same exam board for history and English and I found them just as bad. It's so unfair that examboards try to make trick questions rather than questions that actually test your knowledge. And it's so hard to judge how well you did so it probably went better than how you feel. Good luck with the rest of them and just remember we are all in the same boat so if you found it hard, everyone else did too xx (fingers-crossed for low grade boundaries this year)
Best of luck for your exams lydia....hope you will do good...loved your videos...😊😊
Good luck Lydia! You'll ace your exams!
The exact same feeling has happened to me- I’m doing my GCSEs and I just knooowww I can do so much better than I’ve « proven » in my exams - it’s so frustrating! Good luck with the rest- whatever happens happens and you know there’s nothing more you could’ve done to prepare! 💕💕
I hope you do well Lydia!
I wouldn’t worry too much about the Tudor exam!! I know a lot of people had similar problems. I personally loved the source question but my essay writing skills on the threat from Spain question completely went out the window, I don’t know why I just didn’t have a very strong argument
I was exactly the same! My Elizabeth essay was all over the place, just hope i've done enough.. Good luck to you x
We all struggled on the comedy question so don't worry! I think that if your answer is unique as well then it will help stand out! Good luck!!
This is literally exactly how I felt after my first two exams! Especially the subject that was supposed to be my ‘easier’ subject ❤️
I’m currently 5 exams into my 14 a level exams and this video could not be more of a mood - I wish you the best of luck for the rest of your exams✨
Good luck with your A level exams, I just finished my last uni exam on Thursday and thank god, I was so close to loosing my shit after revising for like 2-3 months straight :>>>>
We always have this roller coaster feeling when we take exams , I had my stressful days too but at the end of the day We all get to be happy at our achievements big or small. We know you made huge efforts to build them. I hope things would go well for you ! Good luck lydia ! ♥️
I hope you’ll pass your exam especially for your uni ( college is actually fun and stressful haha so much love hate relationship for college)
Good luck for your exams Lydia! Hang in there!❤❤❤
Whatever grades you get, you know how hard you worked for this exams. Wish you the best of luck! ❤️
A-levels are HARD! Exam season pressure is underrated, thank you so much for showing the reality! You should be so proud of how much you’ve worked, you literally couldn’t have done any more! Just think that if you found it hard everyone else probably did! Keep going babes!!! xxx
Lydia, when you started to cry...Ugh, I wanted to hug you! We feel you, we know how hard exam season is. I know it's difficult to not beat yourself up about it, I used to put a lot (A LOT) of pressure on myself when I was in college. I had a lot of sleepless nights full of crying And textbooks. Even if you believe things aren't going well, you should still feel so proud of yourself! I'm so, so proud of you for not giving up 😊 you can do it!! Keep up the great work, babe. It'll work out 💜😘 I'll be sending good vibes your way for the rest of the season!
I also did English lit and history at a level and they were so horrible I completely feel your pain! Don’t worry though, often when you think you’ve done bad you’ve actually done so well! Don’t worry about uni either, I didn’t get the grades for my uni but they still let me in and now I’m finishing off my final year! Don’t panic! It’ll all be okay ❤️
Lydia - you're doing the best you can possibly do, just rest assured that if you don't get the grades you hoped/worked for and therefore don't get into your first-choice, there will be bigger and better things waiting for you and everything happens for a reason. You'll get through it just trust the process!
I feel exactly the same, we learn so so much, like my brain is so full and yet there isnt't really an opportunity to showcase it all :( its disheartening to keep revising for my next exams when i feel like its not worth it but oh well! Keep going, we can do it! although i do feel like im going crazy with all of this
I did English and History last week (AQA for both) and I found them awful, I'm so relieved seeing someone else upset and frustrated about them xx thank you for being so honest about how you're feeling! ❤️ Also I went to Spoons after my English, it's good therapy 😂
I did the exact same exams as you this week but different boards and it is so frustrating and unsatisfying when you’ve worked so hard but in the exam things just don’t go well. But Lydia you have worked so so so hard and you should be so proud of yourself for all the work you have done! That in itself is an achievement and you have done your best and that is all you can do! Love you lots and keep going! It’ll all be over soon! ❤️❤️
I’m in year 12 studying history, geography, biology and English literature and watching you cry over the exams is making me so nervous for next year! I’m sure you’ve done amazing regardless xx
I love u Lydia l love ur study with me videos keep up. The good work
I totally understand how you feel. I also prepared a load for my psychology paper 1 and messed it up pretty badly, hopefully we can bring it back in the other papers
Good luck Lydia!!
I feel you. Not long and we don’t have to do Alevels any more. Good luck with the rest of your exams!! ❤️❤️
I feel you! I had full marks for my French speaking throughout the whole year, was super confident, until the exam. I got so nervous because of the pressure put on em and the expectations I had of myself that I just completely screwed it up. Was no to my standard and I felt shit. But hey, what can we do now? We tried our hardest.
Be proud of all your hard work!
heyy Lydia! I totally feel you especially with the history and English exams - I have done AQA for both and I literally had like 5 breakdowns at how bad they have went XD. Don't worry tho, I'm sure that you will get the grades that you need - especially since you have been working insanely hard. Just move on to the next one and persevere xx
You will be fine lydia ! Push through x
Good luck Lydia ❤️❤️❤️
You definitely did better than you think that always happens. You managed to answer all the questions. Therefore you know more than you think. Stay positive because you worked too hard to fall at the last hurdle ❤️
Don't worry lydia you will do amazing
Good luck champ
We all know you'll ace em
Good luck for your exams - please don’t over-stress yourself out by blogging! Love you xxx
Hi Lydia. I understand that exams are stressful, I can't relate with a level exams yet as I'm only going through GCSEs at the moment but I know how hard it can be. You just need to remember that everyone's in the same boat. If that hamlet question threw you off it probably threw everyone else off too. And the fact that you have this channel is evident that you put in a lot of hard work for school so are more than able to, and deserve to, reach your grade goals. Good luck and don't stress yourself out to much. You've got this xxx
Don’t cry Lydia it is okay I am proud of u and u will do well. Now I feel like crying 😢
Good luck and all for the best for your A levels exams I am sure you do amazingly 😊💕🌹🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Lydiavioleta
I almost cried with you! You're such a great and intelligent person! You don't need to be sad if it doesn't go like it should've went. That happens to everybody 💕 You're doing so much and everything you're studying now is enough! 😘 You're just great!
my a level exams are a year away and im already stressing, i cant imagine how youre feeling haha. you can do this lydia 💪🏻
straywoojin same im literally crying over english already
I feel for you with all the stress of the exams themselves and the pressure of getting the grades you need. Just on a lighter note, I was amazed that Hamlet is still an 'A' level staple. It was also part of my 'A' level course back in 1966! Plus ça change ... ;)
I feel you sister
Tomorrow I’ll start my finals wish U all good luck 🍀👍🏼
OMG can we talk about that English paper because that exam threw me off massively :(
I know it’s a hard time for you but I know that you will ace all of your exams, you work so hard and you will do amazing xx
Hey Lydia. Just wanted to come here and say that you’ve tried your best and that’s what really matters. To say that it’s okay and you’ll still get an A* is putting more pressure on you about your grades. So give it your best and hopefully everything will workout in the end.
All the best Lydia
Good luck with the rest of your exams lovely xx
