AFTER A HECTIC exam season in May, college students all over Ireland will be getting their results over the next few weeks.

Whether you’re just wrapping up second year or finishing university for good, getting your results is fraught with difficulties. Here are just a few of them.

Even though the exams can be ten times harder. Advanced Calculus, anyone?

2. The site hosting the results will almost always go down

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Yeah, didn’t want to see the results anyway.

3. Trying to figure out the marking scheme is a nightmare

No one dares to speak of repeating the whole year.

6. You’re delighted with marks you would have spat on during the Leaving Cert

You, upon getting 52% in Chemistry:

7. Your Facebook timeline will be a sea of relief

Whoops!

“Passed the year, thank f**k!” x 100.

8. Yet absolutely no one cares

“Dad dad, I got a 2.1 in my Shakespearean Drama class!”

“Fantastic. Call us when you’re finished your degree.”
