Today, after weeks of intense studying with the intent of pulling my grades up, I saw that in fact, they've all gone down. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
Offended
Today, after I studied a lot of my time away and taking part in a test, my two friends got good grades, even though they didn't even study as much. Most of the time they did a lot of other stuff, and I don't know why my score isn't as good, and I'm not satisfied. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Under pressure
Today, after having pulled like three all-nighters and studying hardcore for months, when it came down to it, I couldn't solve even one question. I almost broke down. FML
Academia ain't for everyone
Today, after dropping a class for the first time ever in college in order to focus on raising my grades, I failed the test that I dropped another course to study for. By not finishing on time. After 3 days of studying. FML
Hard test
Today, I went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML
Student life is rough
Today, I've been feeling like my efforts are never enough. I had 4 exams in one goddamn week, didn't sleep at all for 3 days studying, only to get completely demolished. The teachers put the most complicated problems as if they WANT us to fail. If I fail one class, I'm getting kicked out of my program. FML
Today, I walked into an exam after having stayed up 20 straight hours studying. The professor looked at me and muttered, "Don't bother, I'm failing you either way." FML
Today, the grades for one of my courses were released. The class average was higher than that which the department allowed, so the professor had to scale everyone's marks down to meet the policy. I ended up failing because my class was too smart. FML
Procrastination station
Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML
Today, I re-sat an expensive exam I'd flunked 6 months previously. The same impossible multiple choice questions appeared, which I'd been unable to find the answers to, even with all my textbooks and the internet. FML

Aghh.. Been there before.. Ask your teacher what you can do to make your grades better! Good luck! ^.^

"A" for effort. Talk to your teachers throughout the year. It does help to ask if you don't understand something and sometimes, they go a little easier on you because they know how hard you've been working.

I think everyone's been there before at least once. I'm "there" right now myself, unfortunately.

Op, as a student with pretty good grades, I would advise relaxing during class and listening to the lectures, rather than trying to take a million notes all through the class. This way, you will have a better understanding of the topic rather than a page full of useless fragments in your notebook. I find i do much better this way and don't really need to study much, thus lightening the stress even more. Maybe that's just what works for me, though. There's my public service announcement for the day. *bows*

That sucks! Maybe you over think and that's where it goes wrong. Happens to me sometimes

I could ask you the same thing with your attitude. The guy tried to pull his grades up, which shows that he wants to succeed and is trying hard. Go back under your rock from which you came.

I'll see you at the drive up window- have my order ready

Make sure you get enough sleep the night before. All of the studying in the world is useless if you're too tired to think straight. And no, caffeine does not replace good sleep.
