-- Posted by Anonymous at 3:51 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 For some reason this year, I'm having shiteous luck. Every time I take a test, even if I studied, I completely blank out, or do something stupid. My GPA is now in the shitter. My social life is getting worse, because obviously, no one wants to hang around a person as angry as I am becoming. Everyone I know is being a prissy bitch, saying stuff like "I'll never get into Princeton, I'm only ranked 11 in my class!!!" Mind you, our class has 590 people in it. Basically, everything that can go wrong has gone wrong, and my new found depression/anger/hopelessness is just making it worse. -- Posted by Meeko at 3:52 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 wow rank 11 u really need to get yourself together -- Posted by Smorz at 3:53 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Isn't Murphy's law great? -- Posted by Hash Brownies at 3:57 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 11th?! FUCK ME ITS THE END OF THE WORLD! You are obviously intellegent, stop putting yourself down. -- Posted by tell me again at 4:01 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Don't let other people's goals get to you. And just do your best. It sounds like you are really anxious about performance and it's making you angry around people, and it makes you blank out in tests. I say have faith in your abilities and just focus on yourself, not on everyone around you. You're obviously in an environment where people aim high. It's not a bad thing to have goals. And they're not being "prissy bitches" just because they are currently doing better than you on tests. They have their own challenges and failures and disappointments, and they experience the same anxiety that you do.
