Being in university is not all about marks. It matters a lot, but it is just as much about growing into a contributing member of society, about the experiences and friendships you make during that time. So don't get so hung up on marks. Take your university education as an experience and don't just look at it as just school.

Despite the trials and tribulations of this tumultuous year, we have graduated. With great perseverance, and the occasional cup of coffee, we managed to overcome the many challenges of online school, to say nothing of the school work itself.
