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!!☺️
"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 😂
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
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
Exams do not show or allow anyone to show their true potential xx
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 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...
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.
Props to you for putting this out there on TH-cam. Exams are scary enough and being vulnerable on camera is really brave 💛
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
GOOD LUCK LYDIA! We know you will end up acing the exams! Keep going ma gurlll😊😊
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
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.
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
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🥰💕
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🥰
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
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
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 ❤️
Thanks for making this vlog realistic and we all go through stress and pressure and sometimes seeing you are not alone and even TH-camrs go through it just the makes the experience of watching a video more relatable so thanks
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 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
rooting for you lydia and everyone else in the middle of exams right now, love you ALL
Yess thanks for making another video like this I was waiting for it
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 !!🥰🥰
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
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.
good luck with your exams, i love your channel ❤️
Good luck in your A Level Exams and to anyone else doing them. Fortunately I’m doing my GCSE Exams
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!!!
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 🤓
Lydia go for it!!! I love your vlog so much
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!
Your tears are full of power, this is the reality of exam season, stay true to yourself Lydia. Wish you all the best x
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
Good luck Lydia. You'll do amazing!
Lydia, good luck my love! I have every faith you'll do well x
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
NOTIF SQUAD!! LOVE U LYDIA AND I HOPE YOUR RESULTS EXCEEDS YOUR EXPECTATIONS 🥰❤
Lydia i am damn sure u will do well in your exams...coz all of ur fans have prayed for u.
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
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! 💕
Lydia, You have worked so hard from so long, All gonna be go well. Good Luck.❤
my heart just breaks for you! best of best of luck with the next few weeks xxxxxx
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
Good luck for your exams Lydia! Hang in there!❤❤❤
You are an excellent multi tasker,
I just appreciate your work and best of luck for future dear.....😘😘😘
I hope you do well Lydia!
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 ❤️
☹you was crying & that make me sad for a while... don't worry! Everything is gonna be fine at the end🤗
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!❤️❤️❤️
Good luck Lydia! You'll ace your exams!
dont worry about it!! you will do better than you think, also i feel u a levels are so hard! keep it up!!
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 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)
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
This is literally exactly how I felt after my first two exams! Especially the subject that was supposed to be my ‘easier’ subject ❤️
Whatever grades you get, you know how hard you worked for this exams. Wish you the best of luck! ❤️
Best of luck for your exams lydia....hope you will do good...loved your videos...😊😊
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!!
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! 💕💕
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
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)
You will be fine lydia ! Push through x
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!
It broked my heart to see you cry....i adore you so much Lydia....you work so hard....good regards for you angel💕
Yes I cried a day before my GCSEs started a night before
OMG can we talk about that English paper because that exam threw me off massively :(
Don't worry lydia you will do amazing
I had 6 exams last week, from Tuesday to Friday, and I have maths on Monday, trust me I feel the exact same way and it makes me feel like I’m not alone
Good luck Lydia ❤️❤️❤️
I love u Lydia l love ur study with me videos keep up. The good work
I have 4 exams next week:
Further maths 1
Economics 3
Maths 1
Further Maths 2
Which I should be practising for but...
I'm watching videos about people revising... oh no.
@Be Happy! It's usually just simple plug numbers into a formula maths and calculating percentage changes. I don't do business but I've heard that some topics overlap quite a bit.
@Be Happy! Just be aware that most uni courses for economics will usually require an A - level in maths so keep that in mind if you want to continue study with it.
Okay, I'm not from the UK. Why doe you write more than one paper in every subject? Do you learn different stuff for every exam? Do you know that stuff from exam 1 won't be necessary for exam 2 or 3?
Im really interested :)
@@Larahensel for most subjects, yes the papers are split up depending on content, like for further maths each exam paper is on a separate book. However, some are just split up as there is so much content, like Math A-level, paper 1 and paper 2 are not split up in the way we learn it and topics can come up in both papers, just because the subject is so broad.
Be proud of all your hard work!
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✨
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
Good luck Lydia!!
All the best Lydia
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.
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!
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!
yass I was sat waiting for you to upload. so excited!
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 :>>>>
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 love how your heftiest a level week is 3 exams! Mine was last week (so just before the half term) with 5 exams and 3 subjects
Good luck and all for the best for your A levels exams I am sure you do amazingly 😊💕🌹🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Lydiavioleta
This is a summary of me for the last 2 weeks doing GCSE’s, so glad I’m not the only one, especially with A-levels xxxxxx I hope your recovering from the abhor of exams, your amazing and thanks for sharing xxxx
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! ❤️❤️
Good luck champ
We all know you'll ace em
Goodluck Lydia. God Bless you. 💖
Good luck for your exams - please don’t over-stress yourself out by blogging! Love you xxx
I found the OCR English exam hard as well and the 30 mark essay (one where you get choice of questions) was awful. I didn't write no where near as well I could have, didn't include half the information I know and it's so frustrating. It's so so normal to feel how you are feeling so try not to stress! You've not messed up because you have prepared to much and tried your best which is all that matters!! Be proud of yourself ❤️Xx
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
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 ❤️
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
I feel you. Not long and we don’t have to do Alevels any more. Good luck with the rest of your exams!! ❤️❤️
AWH ILY UR A QUEEN
