Nice timing

Today, I took an exam in order to apply for a graduate program I want to get into. Last night, my boyfriend decided it was a good time to break up with me out of the blue. I broke down three times in the middle of the test, and I just barely failed it. FML

*Hugs* Chin up, Op. It's all upward from here. :(

I'm sorry :( Your ex is a jerk. He should've waited until after the exam! Can you retake it?

I know it's hard and I know it isn't easy to come to this conclusion after being with someone, but if they aren't with you and they broke up with you, they are not the right person for you. This is also the same reason why I don't go back to someone, but that is beside the point. I am trying to say that if they aren't willing to try and work things out or talk to you about the issues then they aren't worth your time and you can do better. A true love will work to make things well...work out. Some say that fighting is a sign that your relationship is on the rocks, but I say that fighting is a sign that you care and are wanting to be with this person despite the trial and tribulations. Don't take it too far though, the point is to work past the issue, if they keep recurring then your partner or yourself aren't suited for this relationship and it's time to move on to the next partner. This is how I deal with break ups, this is a highly logical thought process to something that happens to cause stupidly irrational and illogical thoughts so it may be hard to grasp, but I hope it helps.

At least I waited till after my ex's exam. Did she appreciate it? No. JK I miss that bitch :( JK She's not a bitch. Several year's after our split... regretted calling her a bitch... turns out I was one. For a while, I was a man-bitch without a hitch.

Try to appeal it and retake the test OP, best advice I can give you

I had something similar happen to me, my ex broke up with me a week before finals in my senior year of high school, and these grades were going to make or break my university entrance scholarship. It's not as bad though, so sorry OP. You deserve better clearly. I know people can tell you a million times at this point that there are more fish in the sea but you're probably fixated on that one person. It will definitely take time, but trust me, you'll get through this. I was heartbroken until I found the love of my life freshman year who showed me what I truly deserved! :)

An education is worth more than a boyfriend! I feel your pain but your education is so important! See if you can retake it! Good luck!

Go have fun you're young wild and free... Live

I'm so sorry OP :( Also, I only accidentally hit YDI; my phone is sensitive to that. I do not believe you deserved it in any way.

Sorry op. I hope you are able to take the test again.
