i was just wondering, because it happened to me today.
i studied so hard for one of my exams like hardcore,
and in the end, it just didn't pay off, like it was pointless all along.

[charcoalfilter1101]

Yeah, I always strive hard just to achieve something. I think, successful people strive hard to achieve their goals in life and they are successful doing that.

FRIENDLY ADVISE:

Sometimes, things don't go the way you want it to be. In order to achieve something, you must accept failures as if you'd did your best to achieve something. For me, life is the most interesting thing to explore and lastly make your failures as your motivations to strive hard to achieve something.

awww...don't stress it =). In my last year of college, I took an astronomy class- collisions in space. It made sense,...but the professor changed towards the end of the semester and it messed me up completely. I studied 3 days STRAIGHT with 2 hours of sleep for this final exam and got a D. T.T...but it's okay b/c I still graduated with a degree and a minor and have the greatest job in the world ( in my opinion).

[meilotus90]

Yeah. I tried so hard to do well for my exam but in the end I got MUCH lower than what I aimed.
Even though I was second in class for the subject but it was just...blargh.

I'm motivated if I know I CAN. Vice versa.
And it's not really a good thing

[peaceman]

Yeap...this happens to me all the time...& the outcome doesn't turn out what i expect. I find it rather weird when i dont try hard to achieve something..& it turns out vice-versa.

[EHNerJI]

LOL YESSS -.-;; i actually studied for my science exam last year..
i made notes and everything.. and i thought i'd do well ~.~
but i ended up getting like a 60 on the exam wtf?!
and my geo exam which i didn't study for.. i got a much better mark =____=;;
so i was like W T H ?! i wasted my time T______T;;

[thaoyunho]

I failed so hard for math.. I studied 2 weeks before the exam. SIGH

[mango-iee]

I once studied my buff off but at the end...I didn't get the grade I was hoping for. =.=
There's another time when I got the main role so I went home and memorize the script that night. But the next day, the teacher annouce that she made a mistake with the other girl who was playing the little helper. T_T

[la folie]

math.
just kept trying and trying and trying, but didn't work.

[JaeJoo<3]

I studied for two hours a day (over a week) for my Calculus test and in the end I failed. MISERABLY.

Out of 100 pts. I got a 7. That's right a 7!!!!!!!

[FooFooRuk]

math.
just kept trying and trying and trying, but didn't work.

happens to me all the time i went from 100% on one exam to like a C ? i hate math soo much!!!

[cheerydumdum]

OF COURSE. it happens allll the time. i practiced and practiced for this piano thing (forgot what it's called) to see how well i did. and on the day it happened, oh my goodness...i messed up more than i ever messed up in my entire life. and i was so embarrassed because other people heard it. :[

[enirtep]

i aimed for a distinction for my maths, but because i worked so hard for it, i was over confident and became complacent. and in the end, i know im not gonna get it

[this was like 2 years ago]I went emo for a year in art school to get into a bachelor program I was really desperate to get into, worked my butt off, pulled a lot of all-nighters just to get work done. Time came to submit portfolios for the year ahead [to get into the program] - I was totally worn out at this point and had like no time to work on my portfolio... So I had a slight feeling I wouldn't get in and lo and behold, I didn't get in...I guess it was my fault and completely disappointed myself but a whole year of stress of perfecting my artwork and it all lead to rejection! stupid thign is..they only accept 60 students, makes me real mad to this day haha. BUT, I've moved on to another major so it's all good... just look at other alternatives to studying, look at what you did wrong, etc.. we all learn from our mistakes/failures right

[youngbaellaine]

We're pretty much on the same page.
I found out I was failing a subject.
So I studied super hard for the exam.
...No such luck.

[suppaazn]

the same thing has been happening to me lately. =____=
i studied for like three hours on my precalculus test...and failed it with a 33% which
was the lowest in the classsss. gaaaaaahhhhh and math was supposedly my best subject. >=[

[Antz]

ugh yes. all semester i've been trying hard and i've been failing my tests miserably. T__T

[handsomecupcakee]

YES! like.. last summer , i tried to learn how to C-walk. haha. but i still dont get the hang of it.
- i studied like crazy for a social studies test , and got a 11/22.
- I trained like crazy for a p.e thing , [mile] and got like.. 11-13 minutes. -_____-
PHAILED~

[Flicksityy]

ROFL
For some reason, the less I strive the more I achieve.

I'm the slacker type of person, so I always do things in the last minute. My grades are above average when I do so. Whereas when I tried actually putting time into studying or projects, it doesn't pay off at all.

[Star!Stung]

i studied for two hours without any distraction for a science test and got a damn 79! the only good thing about it is that it's my highest science grade so far. everything else is down the toilet
