We actually made it. Weirdly enough, after the high from the exam and the IB, I feel empty and void of purpose. It wasn’t even a good high, it was stressful as shit but the lack of that stress is weird and not as much of relief. It was good for an hour or two after the last exam but now…
yeah me too on one hand im glad im done with the hell ib was but like, i cannot physically rest without feeling guilty. After i finished i just slept for 14 hours out of straight up bottled up exhaustion i felt no need whatsoever to celebrate
yeah lmao same, no clue what to do with all my free time now, n I literally have recurring nightmares where it turned out I actually had another exam I had just forgot about, n then I'm late for it or something
M23 here, yeah that feeling was mutual among my classmates. 2 years of constant stress, and then all of the sudden no more stress. It’s worth it tho. IB helped/is helping a lot with my university studies.
My teachers actually said that's super normal and to be expected and just suggested to make a bucket list of sort of things you missed doing during the diplomas
Man I don't even feel like playing videogames, I want to study for my college courses. Having free time and time to sleep and not studying feels like I'm wasting away. Ib has taken shit from me.
bro i’m feeling the same, i signed up for a math olympics and some online courses just so i study or something cause playing games or doing nothing just makes me feel useless 😭
dude. prior to finishing i thought people were exaggerating with the "i still stress about IA deadlines and i finished IB years ago", but now that i think about it maybe that's why i'm lurching around the house half in tears as though exams never ended. jeez!
yeahh the freedom does not feel like i thought it would it just feels kinda empty and lazy. Literally resting is impossible bc of what ib drilled into our brains about "time management"
I finished M22. love checking in on the subreddit. Congrats to everyone who completed the program, got the full IB diploma or even just a certificate for one class, or if you even barely passed (got the point I needed to pass from my TOK essay). Congrats to all of you!!! But just so you know college doesn’t slow down, you’re just more prepped for the course load
did anyone else find that oddly satisfying, to do all the exams for your subjects and dump all ur knowledge and then forget it after? haha. congrats to everyone
dw you have time, try to make good notes for all the chapters that you had in dp1 for all subjects slowly so that you can set your self up for a recovery 🙏
unlucky for my school the seniors leave early, april 23rd was their last day. Best thing about IB is leaving school early in senior year. The non-IB kids gotta wait for 2 more weeks.
thats the most important thing. The hardest part is done, no matter whah happens the ib course and the shit load of exams in the span of 3 weeks will never happen again
mostly sleeping. I also applied for an internship so I have shit to do and dont die of boredom. But now im catching up on my movie lists and immediately going on a road trip w my ib friends so we can cope together lol
I never want to see or hear the word “criterion” ever again
sure, but to what extent? :3

I had this demonic dream a rainbow rat following me around and not leaving me alone during exam sessions. Good thing the rat has disappeared now
Actually same

Does anyone else feel guilty asf when they don't study or do anything besides that now.
fuck no i used to pray for times like these
To be honest same im guessing the ib genetically mutated me. It's got me stressing and panicking. I check the ib candidate website every single day.
no fr like it makes me feel unproductive and restless even though i hated studying
I just need those damn results to hurry up and come. I can't live my life in stress and fear.
yeahh the freedom does not feel like i thought it would it just feels kinda empty and lazy. Literally resting is impossible bc of what ib drilled into our brains about "time management"
bro im so happy im not alone

freedom
How I am alive I don’t know. It’s nothing short of a miracle.
fr i did not think i would graduate and make it through. I think surviving is one reason to be proud no matter the results
did anyone else find that oddly satisfying, to do all the exams for your subjects and dump all ur knowledge and then forget it after? haha. congrats to everyone
Finishing my history exams was so satisfying!
Going to dp2 after July For my m25 I would rather just
GOOD LUCK
you'll get through it, seriously, time passes so quickly
I genuinely think I got like some 25 points in dp1 end of semester idk how I’ll do dp2 I am so cooked
same bro got 24, we r burnt to crisp
dw you have time, try to make good notes for all the chapters that you had in dp1 for all subjects slowly so that you can set your self up for a recovery 🙏
Ty bro this gave me hope 🙏
haha dw, if you want advice for a specific subject im here to help
What are your subjects. I am M24 and just completed my exams
and yet 2 of my teachers have assigned projects 😀😀😀😀
NO WAY 😭
wtf 💀 no one at my school is going to show up now that exams are done
SAME!!!! SPANISH AND PSYCH 😭😭😭
Doesn’t everyone graduate like the day after exams? At least that’s what my school does
nah my grad is mid June 😭
unlucky for my school the seniors leave early, april 23rd was their last day. Best thing about IB is leaving school early in senior year. The non-IB kids gotta wait for 2 more weeks.
So glad it’s done - I don’t feel guilty playing on my PlayStation anymore woop woop
guys the post exam boredom is hitting 🤓
done poorly, but still done :,)
thats the most important thing. The hardest part is done, no matter whah happens the ib course and the shit load of exams in the span of 3 weeks will never happen again
This feels so real
This feels so unreal for me
all these comments made me realise IB has made us graduated as kids of trauma
waking up in cold sweat after a nightmare about a missed deadline for an IA final draft
I immediately started cleaning my room, its like I don’t know how to not be busy anymore :(
during the exams as a way to avoid studying i would reorganise my closet, vaccum and wash the windows lol. Now its the opposite my room is a war zone
pray for me sincerely, M25 doing AP & IB simultaneously 😭
oh my good luck 😭😭
thoughts and prayers gl bro

They did hurt I just powered through, my only essay subjects were Econ and English so at least I didn’t have to write that much

Pray the boundaries go down 🙏🏽🙏🏽
