Here Are the Top 10 ATAR Memes From 2020

If you know, you know.

So, ATAR results for NSW students are being released today. As we know, it's a day many students have been dreading since the moment they started high school.

While some students in other states around the country have a few more days to wait, Sydneysiders are being congratulated for their achievements. Or, they've been crying into their pillows (we promise it's going to be okay). 

Considering how hard of a year it has been for students with coronavirus lockdowns, social distancing and being forced to study the majority of the school year remotely, we think now’s the best time to congratulate all students in 2020, regardless of your results (hey you made it this far).

Those of us who have been through the ATAR pathway before know exactly how relatable and stressful this period in your life is, so—to give you something to smile about—we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 quality ATAR memes of the year. 

And if you’re not happy with your results, remember that ATAR is just one stepping stone towards your dream career. There are countless other pathways you can take to follow your passions.

So, now the good stuff: Memes. 

1. Avoiding it like the plague.

Hey, you can’t be sad if you can’t see it right?

2. Low expectations are good expectations.

To all those people that are upset over good marks: please leave.

People in my year: “omg I don’t want a bad atar, I’ll cry if I get anything less than an 85”

3. Stressful sleep.

It’s like Christmas Eve, but not the good kind.

4. You tried, that’s what counts.

Honestly, just making it this far into 2020 should get you a medal.

9. Reminder: You don’t need an ATAR.

Some wholesome advice that we all need to know.

a reminder for my aussie friends: your atar means jack shit. i needed an 85 to get into the course i wanted, i got a 65, and im still doing the course i wanted, AND I'll be graduating with a bachelor + a diploma (and maybe even honours??)
