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 - 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...
