Hi, I'm A level summer. You'll say the line, we need to make the most of this summer, at least once a day. You'll accidentally sleep in until midday every day for three consecutive weeks. But while you're sleeping, you'll be having nightmares about results day, which is always constantly in the back of your mind. You'll think about and completely reconsider your future once an hour. You'll create a summer bucket list and complete approximately three things on it. You'll have an identity crisis every Sunday evening for no apparent reason. I'm the first time in two years that you don't have to revise. And that's going to be a bit of a shock to the system. You'll remember that you're actually growing up and you're going to cry about that once every three days. And one last thing, 14th of August.
