10 Phrases You’ll Hear from Relatives Before Your Baccalaureate Results
Senior year or The Baccalaureate year isn’t just about studying—it’s a full-on state of emergency! Your sleep schedule, eating habits, nerves, and even the people around you all change. Suddenly, everyone turns into a motivational coach or a career advisor, and they all have something to say. These phrases before your baccalaureate results? They’re a tradition, repeated every year like a ritual for every student waiting for their results.
The Most Famous Phrases:
1. “This year determines your entire future—work hard!”
The golden phrase meant to “motivate” you… but honestly? It just adds more stress!
2. “We used to study by candlelight and never complained!”
Because apparently, unless you’ve suffered through power cuts and candlelit study sessions, you don’t really know the struggle.
3. “So, what’s your plan? Medicine or engineering?”
As if those are the only two career options in the world. It’s 2025, and some people still think life has only two paths!
4. “Your cousin scored over 230! What’s your target?”
Ah yes, the legendary cousin—society’s benchmark for ultimate success.
5. “You’re smart, but you just don’t focus.”
The classic cliché. Everyone is apparently a genius, but they all just have one tiny issue—like concentration or understanding the material.
6. “How were the exam questions? Easy? Hard? Expected?”
And meanwhile, you’re still traumatized by that last question that came out of nowhere!
7. “Are you actually studying or just scrolling on your phone?”
Even if you’re using an educational app, the fact that you’re holding your phone automatically means you’re wasting your future.
8. “How much do you think you’ll score in this subject?”
Because apparently, right after an exam, you’re supposed to be an expert in self-evaluation and statistical analysis.
9. “Just finish high school, and then you can relax!”
The classic lie. They say it as if high school is the hardest thing you’ll ever face… but we all know what’s coming next.
10. “College will be so much easier!”
Every university student laughs when they hear this—because they know the real struggle is just beginning.
If you’re a baccalaureate student in Syria, you know these phrases aren’t just words—they’re part of the cultural experience! Everyone around you thinks they’re supporting you, but in reality, you’re drowning under expectations, comparisons, and the constant fear of “what happens next?”
But here’s the truth—your scores don’t define you. Your hard work and determination do. So, to all the students waiting for their results—may success and excellence be on your side!
