Exams that all UK students are demanded to take. They're not fun and are veryboring, just like a pop concert.

Get the GCSE mug.A GCSE (General Certificate of Education) that you can take in school. You will study a play and a book that your teacher will do his/her best to ruin by a.) forcing you to embarrassingly read them out loud in class, and b.) forcing you to over-analyze them whilst ignoring their immediate, aesthetic value.
But this is not always the case. If you are doing the foundation level (like I did) you will be thought of as too much of a retard to be able to read. Instead you will watch some pretentious film adaptation on an old TV not worthy to be shot at by a drugged-up Elvis Presley.
Either way, you will come away with an extremely negative view of classical literature. However, you may be lucky enough to rediscover it in later life and enjoy it properly.

Student: "Fascism?"

Get the GCSE English Literature mug.A GCSE art student finds themselves crumbling from the unexpected pressures of an art GCSE: their lack of coursework or that ‘rose’ that looks like a damn tumbleweed or a cabbage on meth. Sometimes high, sometimes horrific at drawing, sometimes egotistical and sometimes crying over 1 imperfect line: they come in all shapes and sizes.
Most likely an art student picks the GCSE for it’s ‘easy’ facade yet will end up regretting that choice at some point. A very talented but perfectionist student might tend to procrastinate - waiting until the very last minute when realisation and their fear of failure kicks in only to end up painting until 5am to make up for lacking course work.
Whether having struggled with quality or quantity (at at least one point I will assure you) the eventual fulfilment of thick textured pages or a final piece decorated in imagination and what was once a dream, art GCSE students are thick skinned (despite occasional breakdowns) and deserve every bit right to show off and boost their ego. Unlrimately most will find the course is worth it and anything can turn into something beautiful with effort.

Person 1: Look at that GCSE art student crying from stress.
Person 2: I heard they have 3 whole sketchbooks due in 2 days.
Person 1: That’s rough.
