Three phases of getting board exam results!

So,since most of the people know about their board exam results,it's time to see what are the tree phases any student,or basically and person who wrote an exam or a test,undergoes before their board exam results are out.So grab some popcorn,sit back and relax as you nod along with these points,because I'm sure you can relate!

Pre-Results Phase!

1.Reality Check.

So after boards are done,everyone does nothing but eat,sleep and sit on Facebook for 6 hours straight.

Since board exam results come out toward the end of the end of summers,everyone gets a reality check with the fact that summer is about to end and their new lives are gonna begin.

2.Anxiety.Anxiety everywhere!

Needless to say,board exams are pretty much a big deal.And so,everyone is anxious about how they've done.Did I do well?Did I mess it up?Will I get a 90% or anything at all?These are a few of the thoughts that are gonna make your lazy nights go crazy.

3.The 'I'm-Gonna-Top' feeling.

So let's be honest for for a few minutes and admit the fact that all of us want to top our school.And no harm in dreaming right?It doesn't matter whether you are a topper or failure,you picture yourself getting the highest percentage or GPA and be like,"I'm the boss bro."

4.Too Much Excitement!!

Everyone is TOO excited to know how they've done,good or bad; whether they messed up or not.Your WhatsApp,Facebook and mail is filled with messages showing how excited you,your cousins or your friends are.And deservedly so!I mean,after 2 months,you can't wait to see how you've done.You can't wait to see whether fate is on your side or not.

5.The 'What-If-I-Screwed-Up?!' Feeling.

This is a feeling that is slightly different from anxiety.This is the kind of last-minute feeling you undergo 2 days before results are going to come out.You're probably more scared than people at Haunted Houses and all of a sudden,can't remember anything but all the mistakes you've made in the exams.But you also think that it can't be helped.What is over is over and you know you can't change it.

The Results Phase!

1.SO MUCH TENSION!

Now from personal experience,I know that tension just drives you CRAZZYYY.Period.You can't sleep properly,you can't think properly and everything reminds of you of the crazy marks that are going to change your life pretty soon.

2.Mixed Feels.

Excitement.Nervousness.Tension.Expectation.All these emotions are felt in one split second.I'm not kidding!One hour before your results come out you are too messed up to think about one thing in particular.But don't worry-it ends soon! 

3.Fear Of The Crash.

If our fear of nuclear weapons was on 5 on the scale of FEAR,and loss of a Wi-Fi connection was on 7,our fear for the website announcing results crashing is probably 1000.This is the fear of every student ever.Everyone is worried about the fact that due to thousands of people of logging simultaneously on the website,it might,er...crash.And then you can kiss your results goodbye for sometime.At least till they fix it.

4.That heartbeat.

This happens right when you log on to the website.Your heart beat is loud that you can heart it loud and clear just like you can hear a noisy baarat on a marriage day.You start breathing so heavily that you need to do breathing exercises and your hand shake as though an earthquake is in the house.But don't worry,because this leads to...

5. ...Relief!

This is that feeling you get once you see your results and have calculated your percentage.You are just relieved that your wait is over.Your results may or may not make you happy,but you can be glad with the fact that you tried really hard and gave it your best shot.But don't miss out on this feeling.

The 'Post-Results' Phase!

1. Bring on the mithai!

Whether you aced your boards or not,you are surely going to get some sweets as a relief prize.If you do well,you are stuffed with ladoos.If you don't do well,you're still stuffed with ladoos!Basically it's a profit season for sweet shops!

2.27 Calls/minute.

The one thing about results being out is the fact that all people-friends,family,neighbours,cousins,etc.-everyone calls you like there is no tomorrow!You're chatting with your friends,and talking to others on two or three phones.Hectic,but at the same time makes you feel pampered.

3.Begin The Parties!

We all partied after boards got over.And then the party spirit died.But after results come out,all you feel like doing is meet friends,have pizza and dance on punjabi songs.Period.

4.The 'I-Could-Have-Done-Better' Feeling.

It's human tendency to expect more.So even if you were to get,like,99.9%,you would be happy but somewhere,sometime you would think,I could have done better.So no matter how well you did,even if you know you gave it your best shot,you always think that you could have worked a bit harder and studied an hour more.

5.Mixed Feels For Everyone.

Some people are happy with their results,while some people aren't satisfied with it.So ultimately,everyone has different thoughts about the results.But what is important to realise is that the people who love you-your friends,family,etc-won't judge you on your board exam marks.It's also important to realise that board exams are not the aim and you can always improve on what you've done! :) Thanks for reading! :)
