7 Types of Students You Come Across on Result Day

What after you face the nightmare of exams? The result day! Even worse, right? The day when all those bars of concerns and care from your “Rishtedars” get raised up to a huge level. When that “Sharma Ji ka beta” steps in to give you an undesirable competition. Aren’t exams already so scary that results come up to add on and make you have the ultimate real-life horror story in your hands?

What adds to your horror story is the variety of people you bump into on that day. The guy who had the post result breakdown, the topper of your class, the ones who want to brag about their gap year plans, or tell you all about the best university they have been accepted to. You must have encountered these things you didn't ask for. 

The nerves when you wake up, the tasteless breakfast, mindless chat with your mates and finally having that result in front of your eyes. Isn't this time a whirlwind of emotions?

With this in mind, let's have a look at some of the people that you’ll most certainly have an encounter with.​

1. The Carefree One

While you’re busy descending from a bag of nerves into a nervous wreck, there is no doubt going to be somebody nearby wondering what on earth all the fuss is about. They are least bothered about you and only appear to have bothered collecting their results.

2. The Nosy Parker

I'm sure you must have encountered a nosy parker on your result day. The one with whom you spoke just once in a history lesson after they asked to borrow your pen. They got no chill! Grilling you about what results you got is their moral duty. Result Day etiquettes don’t apply to the Nosy Parker. ​

3. The Weepy One

No matter how easy was the paper or how lenient is the teacher, weepy ones are always there. You’ll hear the Weepy One even before you enter the room, shedding tears as if their world has fallen apart. Expectations being the main culprit here as they ended up getting an A instead of an A+.​

4. The Typical Liar

The one who created a huge drama before, but ended up getting the highest marks. They make you wonder if it is a matter of luck or hard work indeed?

5. The Show-offs

The ones with an incredibly smug face, who instantly feel the need to shout out their results at the top of their voice. These are the people that you always hated in school but you kept this to yourself.

6. The Nervous One

Failure to get an A+ in all subjects means an utter disappointment in life to them. They took every word of their teacher so serious that they couldn't afford fewer marks.

7. The Cheerful One

The one who has no fear of making their mark sheet go viral because they burnt the midnight oil to get the reward. And the huge grin on their face is the proof. Ah! You must be regretting those late night parties and celebrations you were a part of during your exams.

While results seem to be the worst thing while they are happening, these people are the ones who add some fun to it. Providing you with life-long good memories, they make sure the event doesn’t remain just like any other monotonous one.
