Jokes about A-level results day on Twitter are now as much part of the annual tradition as pictures of jumping students, teenagers opening envelopes on live television and discussions on whether the exams are getting easier.
Ignoring the gravitas of the day for those receiving an envelope, here are the only results day jokes you need to see regardless of what grades you received.
1. This writer pointed out that university might change some relationships…
If your boyfriend or girlfriend got good A-level results today and is going to university, enjoy the rest of the summer together – you'll be dumped by Christmas.

2. Live a life like Prince Harry.
If you're getting your A-levels today, remember that Prince Harry got a D and a B. He flew helicopters for a living, retired at 30 and married Meghan Markle. You can do anything

7. This harsh reality.
Dear students, your A-levels aren’t so important. What matters most is that your parents have a house in London or the south-east in which to put you up during internships and then to use as equity for you to buy your first home. Don’t change your grades! Change your parents.

Casual reminder that I didn't do very well in my A-Levels and now I'm a famous, full-time YouTuber so, yeah, I really hope you did well.

10. World leaders don’t fret on results day.
Students don’t fret. You know who didn’t get any A-Levels? Donald Trump, Kim Jong-Un (and Jeremy Corbyn got two Es). Something to think about…
