TIFU by saying no to a game

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 Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
