To wake up on results day with a rejection can be daunting, and it can feel like the end of the world considering that everything you have worked for seems to have not been good enough; but you can\u2019t think like this. This is a chance for you to sit back, reflect, and considering you\u2019ve passed your A-levels, sell yourself to universities. Don\u2019t forget that they want to fill spaces, and if you have the grades they want you there in September starting your degree.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t tell you not to panic, because you&#8217;re only human, and of course you\u2019re going to be nervous, you might cry, you might get angry, you might just not want to deal with any of it, but you must not lose faith and hope, and think that you\u2019re not going to make it to University because you will! As long as you put your mind to it, you can do it.<\/p>\n<p>Coming to Bournemouth was probably the best thing that could have happened to me. I\u2019ve made amazing friends, amazing memories, I love living by the sea, and to be honest, I\u2019m dreading going into my final year because I don\u2019t want to leave! If I didn\u2019t go through Clearing I don\u2019t know where I would be now, but I don\u2019t mind or care because right now, with the help of Clearing, I\u2019m exactly where I should be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Sorcha Homer\u00a0\u2013 BSc (Hons)\u00a0Psychology<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Admitting that Clearing actually worked out for the best can be hard as you didn\u2019t get your first choice of University, but most people I know that went through Clearing agree with this.
