TIFU by pulling an all-nighter, getting sick, skipping class because if it, and passing out

I’m probably the dumbest college student to ever exist. I feel so stupid right now. I have decent grades (all Bs), but I feel ridiculous. I can’t believe I did something so stupid.

So basically, I was working on a group project with a bunch of people at the stroke of midnight, as we're all night owls. The project was due the next day. We had been working on it for a week, and all putting in our best. I ended up working with then over text until about 2AM, then decided I wanted to unwind and keep working on stuff, even though my class was at 11 the next day. As you can tell, I'm not very smart.

I ended up staying up until 10AM. So I got absolutely no sleep, and this is the time I usually get up for class (I usually sleep at 12-1). I tried to get up, but physically could not. I felt extremely weak, and started to feel nauseous. I felt like my eyes were burning, and I just started my “girl stuff” (period) and was cramping. I stood up but nearly passed out because I was so weak. There was no way I would be able to physically go to class, so I didn't. I usually go every time, and am a great student. I ended up actually passing out on in my dorm hallway and falling asleep on my couch until 7PM. Security was actually called on me because I wasnt responding to my group messages and my classmates I worked with were worried. Not mad, worried, because this is something I almost never do.

The good news is, I have never turned in an assignment late and have turned in everything, including the project, so that isn’t a dilemma.

I ended up getting my second allowed abcense out of four (first was a fuck up with an attendance sheet while actually in class, so this is my first class I actually skipped) and I feel so defeated. I'm never going to do a dumb mistake like that again, and definitely not pull another all nighter. I feel like a horrible student that my professor doesn't deserve. I’m as lazy and entitled as all the students /Professors rants about, and dumber than the dumbest of my shitty Gen Z generation. I've being crying because I feel so bad about it :(

TL ;DR: stayed up all night working, got sick, didn't go to class because of it, passed out, didn't eat, feel guilty about it

Edit: I cried it all out and feel a bit better. I realize now I was just overreacting. Thanks y’all for reassuring me it’s fine :)

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 ...
