Please. I don't see absolute values. I see bars like normal people.

This will probably be my last post here :o
I think I've gotten over the disappointment of my marks and ATAR. I've included what I wrote about it below:

I received my HSC marks yesterday. Turned on my phone and the first thing that greeted me was an email at 6:15 =.= Opened it, saw my marks, and just stared it them for a while. For each subject, I kept running through different scenarios in my head, wondering where I could have gotten more marks, how I ended up with the ones staring back at me. At the same time, I expected the marks that I received, so I was both disappointed and slightly detached from them.
This morning, I couldn't sleep at all. I tossed and turned in my bed, trying to calm myself down but I couldn't. (I'm normally a deep sleeper once I'm asleep so this is unusual). I logged on to the UAC app at 8:30 and saw my ATAR. It did get me over the requirement for my desired course, which is the whole purpose of the ATAR and what people tell me matters the most, but there is always the thought at the back of my head, what if? What if I started putting more effort instead of procrastinating all the time?

Was feeling pretty down about it for 1-2 days after, but I got a job (at Boost) so that helped :D I've also gotten into the course I wanted, which was another bonus! (see sig for deets)
I'm still deciding whether I should make a uni journey journal, as I'm pretty bad at keeping one 😂

Hey Jess
Reaching out only to say I had something quite similar. I was devastated when the results and ATARs came out. When I got my marks, I was thinking "Yeah cool this is pretty good" but the reality is, I knew it wasn't what I wanted? But that denial meant that getting my ATAR the next day was an even ruder shock. And it was not even a half bad ATAR, in fact, it was an excellent ATAR. But I had worked too hard and I thought I'd played the game well enough that I'd be able to get figures back that reflected what I thought I deserved. But the same as you - I got a new job shortly after and I got into my first preference. So, nothing in the end was bad. But I had honestly never wanted to bury myself into a hole more than I did the day the ATARs came out. How had a system I worked so hard for, tricked me? Or at least that's what it felt like. For days I was feeling quite heavy and in the dumps about it.
In the end, though, I got almost everything I wanted. Even though I tortured myself for a bit wondering where I could've improved, now I can rest assured that I gave it my all. I'm sure you can find peace in this soon too :)
