does everyone go through this?

this is my last summer of being a child, well not a child im 18 but i should be packing off to uni in september.

im really fucking shitting it. im an independent person, ive worked since ive been 15, bought own clothes out all the time made all fun. but im feeling lots of pressure as results day looms closer and i need those 3 a's. i have no insurance. all i keep doing is imagining being on ucas ad midnigth and being REJECTED. it's fucking mental. and if i don't get in i don't know what else to do, go through clearing.

but what im really trying to sya is that its happened so quickly and im repsonsible for sorting it all out and my parents dont do these things. and im just well petrified... some of my friends aren't going to uni diddnt do college and bum off their parents and live the party lifestyle. thats not what i want for me.

and im trying to save all this money for new laptop and all these new things i need to buy if i move out.

its just all getting on top of me so much, and it helps to write this down

edit: this is not a feel sorry for e thing, i have a real good life etc, i just get really worried abotu stuff

yeah, i know how it feels.
my dad is dead against me going to uni as well, so i didnt bother applying this year.im now hoping to work full time for my 'gap year' then go to uni, but the idea of sorting all the application and stuff out alone sends me into blind panic. i hate it, i don't feel old enough to make such big decisions, im so scared of fucking up.

this is how i feel. exactly.

I can empathise. I am 23 and I still wonder how everyone else does this, cause I am just blindly groping in the dark.

As for results, if you don't make the 3 As, its no big deal. If you get AAB or something, contact the uni you are applying for, you might still get in. I know people who got into Oxford who had missed their grades by quite a bit and still got to go. If they don't want you and clearance throws up nothing good, then take a gap year and reapply- its better to go where you want then to panic and take something that is offered to you through clearing.

As for laptop purchasing, if its looking to be expensive, try waiting til you get to uni (they often have student deals) or looking for a second hand one.

Remember, everyone else feels the same way you do right now. So don't panic about it.

I'm about to turn 18 & yeah scary shizz.

Except you all have a lot more prospects than me.
