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 by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
