After my a levels I have nothing to go for September
I finished y13 got an AAB for a levels and was accepted into my insurance Southampton, but I live in West London and commuting is off the charts. Honestly I wasn’t planning to go to university anyway. I applied throughout the year to part time jobs and apprenticeships since that was what intended to do for the upcoming academic year. September is now around the corner, and after countless rejections, I have nothing in September to look forward to, and my motivation to continue applying has wavered. My parents are frustrated with my incompetence and are putting slight pressure on me but are still being nice to me overall and I don’t want disappoint them. It also hurts me more because my older brother is 2 years into his level 6 apprenticeship and is put on a pedestal while I’m stuck like this. I have no one to blame but myself. I don’t know what to do and my mind has been overwhelmed for weeks. Some advice would be nice.
