TIFU by forgetting to text my best friend on her birthday

My (22f) best friend's (f21) birthday is today 30th jan, birthdays are sacred to her and she threw me a great party on my birthday, I know I'm in the wrong here because I was at her place yesterday and I got an emergency call and had to go home, in the midst of all the things that happened back home it slipped my mind that it was her birthday, and I fell asleep without giving her a call or texting her. Today, the moment I woke up I texted her "HAPPY BIRTHDAY 😘😘" and she replied with a "thank u" I knew I fup the moment I got that text because its so not like her. So at like noon I called her and she said she was at a friend's house so I said okay and hung up. Next thing I know that friend she was at called me and said that she is pissed because we forgot about her and don't care about her at all, so we went to her place and she is livid, she doesn't want to talk to us and is saying that she thinks that she probably doesn't want us to be in her life anymore. The thing is we are university students and we are in an exam period and her and I talked about her birthday before and we decided to do it after the exams. I apologized profusely to her and told her about what happened yesterday and she said that was no excuse. I don't know what to do and I need advice. so please reddit, Help?

tldr; forgot about my best friend's birthday and she wants nothing to do with me , help? sorry for formatting on mobile.

edit: She talked to me, she said and i quote " youre only pretending to be my friend for personal intrest and I mean nothing to you, you only need me in the exams to help you out " I don't know what to say, I thought our friendship was worth more, and honestly I never ask for help in the exams, I dont know what to say, I just never asked for help, I mean yeah we study together but thats about it, I guess the issue was deeper than I thought, and I guess this is the end of a friendship I thought would last a lifetime, I'm sorry to take up you good people's time, and thanks for all the replys, I guess I'll get drunk, cry, and go to sleep. Thank you all

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
