Ask HN: Please wish me luck for my exam

3•Imustaskforhelp•1h ago
Not sure if this should be considered an ask HN or not

Currently going to give an exam for which I had to prepare for 2 years.

Currently in high school & in my country, its kind of the test to get into decent college. I get two attempts at it and its my first one and I genuinely just want to do good

I don't know, I have gone through a lot from being an absolute topper to struggling to everything in two years & none of it matters, what matters is right now and I don't know.

I do just want to be happy and to one day or today and just get into decent college so that I can actually do what I like with computers.

Wish me luck
