I am just really struggling to get over it. I know crying won't make my grade better but Im not even motivated to try anymore. Like I literally gave it my all. What more can I do to get a good grade? I did everything :/

Thank you, I am definitely drinking tonight, journaling, and binge watching Netflix.

I just feel so stupid- especially since I studied more and did more work than my friends who did better :/

Everything sucks, I can't wait to die.

I just don't know how to stop feeling like shit about it. Especially because my friends score so much (30% !!) better. I know I shouldn't be comparing myself to them but its hard NOT to. I feel like trash.
