I was disappointed with my D at A level maths
until I started university and discovered that I was significantly more adept at maths than many on my course who had got As and A*s

I never felt the need to compete with that stuff, even with myself or the system.

Path of least resistance was my motto

I only paid attention in the subjects I enjoyed
And in sixth form ended up bunking off school a lot to play games, sleep and masturbate. Hence i ended up with the lovely grades of AAEU.

You did better than I did!
I stopped giving a shit at 6th form, I left with only 1 A Level.

I was actually relieved when I got to university and was no longer the highest-achieving kid there.
I went to a cack school, and my three lazy Bs at A-level were the best grades in my year. To suddenly not be despised, seen as a target or get all that "Ooh she did the best in her year!" shit from my mum was like a weight lifting off.

that must have been a relief
I can still remember the look on my bro's face when he realised I wasn't stupid, academically.

I don't profess to be a genius, particularly since being a regular on here, but I'm certainly not a dumb ass
