Before we proceed, it’s important to remember that it’s pretty invalidating of people’s feelings to say things like “it doesn’t matter what results you get”
There are people who have worked very hard all year and unfortunately end up disappointed with themselves. It’s a shit feeling, and no reassurance that results don’t matter is going to make anyone feel less upset today.
Then there are people who are delighted with themselves and want to celebrate. They don’t want to be told that the grades they got don’t matter either.
Let people have their feelings.
Whoops!

And remember: don’t be that person who asks others what they got.
