All the realest tweets about A-level results

It’s that time of year again: 18-year-olds up and down the country are opening those brown paper envelopes with baited breath, ready to find out what their future holds.

Meanwhile, 40-year-old men up and down the country are taking to Twitter to offer their unsolicited advice on their own bad grades, clearing culture and how results don’t really matter anyway.

Here are this morning’s best tweets about the horror that is A-level results.

A-level students: life is a doomed search for meaning. Romance & friendship bring only temporary respite. Your results will not save you.

I didn't get into Uni but it's FINE because I'm still in loads of debt and made poor life choices during my youth so it's kinda the same

If your boyfriend or girlfriend got good A-level results today and is off to uni, cherish this time together – you'll be dumped by Christmas

If your worried about your A Level results, don't be. I rhymed Rambo with Django and managed to buy a Lambo. You'll be alright. Good luck ❤️

Don't worry if your A-Levels aren't what you were hoping for: an adulthood of creeping tragedy awaits everyone, regardless of results.

If your A level results are disappointing, don't worry. I got a C and two Us, and I'm currently on a superyacht in the Med.
