It is finals week again. I felt so disappointed of myself because I worked so hard the whole semester to get a 96% on this class (which is an A) but 1 quiz. just 1 quiz ruined it all! It’s finals and I have been studying and writing papers for my classes and normally, quizzes are due during Sunday but this quiz was due Tuesday ( I got too busy to even remember we have a quiz that day since it’s not the normal schedule and I got so busy) but anyway, I wasn’t able to do it and my grade became 96% to 88% real quick. It’s not even an A anymore and that’s the last quiz I have for the semester. I did everything, studied hard only to missed ONE quiz. I tried to email the professor but she said she can’t do anything about it. I’ve been crying so hard because it’s like all the things I worked hard for is gone and I wasn’t able to make up for that 1 thing I missed. I feel like a failure. I just wish everything’s going to be okay and I can accept it. 
Everything is going to be okay. Really. It’s a minor blip in a few weeks of your life. Forget it.
Go buy an appointment book–they are pretty handy. 
Thank you! I just find it hard to believe that I worked so hard to reach 96%, only to end up getting 88% because I missed ONE quiz(and I’m not allowed to make it up). I feel so disappointed for myself, and I hope I can think more positive about this. Thank you!
It isn’t the end of the world and you need to forgive yourself for one misstep. This is something you should think of as a frustrating way to learn a lesson about scheduling yourself. Find a way that works for you (either using a calendar on your phone/computer, a physical calendar/planner) to write in all of your classes, deadlines, exams, assignments, meetings etc. Highlight the most important things. Get yourself in the habit of checking the schedule every morning, midday, and again before you go to bed.
You don’t just learn from books at college. I am guessing you won’t do that again. Stop beating yourself up about what amounts to a careless error. Good luck going forward.
Thank you! yeah! this has been the first time I missed a quiz and It affected my whole gpa, big time. I’ve been crying since last night because of 1 mistake that ruined EVERYTHING I worked hard for. I’ve been feeling so down lately and I feel like a failure sometimes. It’s finals week and I know I shouldn’t be sobbing here feeling depressed cause I got other classes to study for to but I feel so disappointed for missing that and not being able to have the chance to take it again. I might visit a counselor but I don’t know, I feel shy to talk to anyone about my problems (I could only rant here). I hope I could accept it already but it’s hard.
Vistng a counselor sounds like an excellent idea.
Go talk to your professor right away…talk to them about what happened and ask if there is a possible way to make it up. Tell them you understand if there is not. But they may give you more leeway since you were doing so well.
@bopper I did. She told me that there’s nothing she can do about it which is so frustrating because I worked so hard for everything and I only missed ONE quiz but it’s worth 50 points. I’m really upset about it but there’s nothing I can do now 
Wouldn’t it be great if the teacher cut you some slack and let you take the quiz? Of course, she is under zero obligation to do so. You sound like you are kicking yourself nine ways to Sunday. That’s normal and expected. It’s one of life’s little lessons about keeping all of the balls in the air. The consequences - going from an A to a B - are really not that dire; of course, it feels disastrous right now. But without this lesson - and the consequences - NOW, it could happen in the future and the outcome could be MUCH worse. You could fail a class, lose an internship, drop the ball on a work project and get demoted/fired, etc.
We learn more from our failures than our successes. So, when SMART people make a mistake, they take responsibility for it, figure out how to not make that mistake again, and then actually do that thing. You have already done Step 1 - just implement Steps 2 and 3. 
And now you need to put your upset/frustrations behind, take this lesson to heart, forgive yourself for not being perfect, and focus on the remaining exams you have.
As someone that’s prone to disorganized scheduling, Google Calendars and phone reminders are a life saver. They’ll actually send alerts to your phone the day of the assignment/meeting so that you remember to get it done. It may be helpful in the future.
There’s a saying in aviation (and probably other areas too): Don’t let one mistake become two.
Have a little stand-down, a dead serious talk with yourself about what led up to this. Understand the conditions so you’ll recognize them next time and correct it before it’s a problem.
Move on, and remember.
Google calendars, google calendars, google calendars! As soon as you learn of something, immediately put it in your calendar with an alarm- one long enough before it’s due in order to be relevant. Then put it in google tasks and do not check it off until it is turned in.
You won’t remember this grade, but you will remember the lesson. It’s OK
Thank you so much guys! I talked to others about this and they said " It’s just a B, get over it" but you know that feeling when you worked so hard for the entire semester to reach that grade only to miss that 1 quiz and it changed my gpa. This is supposed to be an easy class and I have harder classes to worry about which will bring my gpa lower but I WILL TAKE THIS AS A LESSON AND I WILL MOVE ON. It’s just hard now but I know someday, this won’t even matter anymore. Thank you so much to everyone who commented.
Read your post again in a couple of years and you will wonder what you were so upset about:-)
