Going First
A-level result day in England, we were allowed to pick our results up from like 9am, they were just in named envelopes on a table in our common room. Most of the group waiting were just standing around, all a bit too anxious to be the first to open their results in front of everyone incase they were bad.
I was only doing 2 A-levels (I still wanted to do well mind) so I went up first, felt the whole room just watch me open my results to see how I did. Didn’t get what I wanted, but acted like it was a good grade and that spurred everyone else to start opening theirs. Story credit: Reddit / everybodyknowsadave
