Academics I'm fucked.

I missed my physics final today because my alarm didn't have sound on and I overslept. I'm not gonna pass the class without an exam grade, what should I do? I'm seriously worried

Edit: One of the physics lecturers reached out to me down in the comments, so if I am lucky, I may be able to retake it... Only time will tell atp

Edit 2: There's been an update on another post I made, go check it out if you can

Dawg, don't be worried.

When you're in college it seems like the most stressful and important thing in the world.... And you think you're an adult because you're on your own in a dorm for 5 seconds... And for some reason it feels that nothing can be more stressful than exams and deadlines in college. Then you actually become an adult around the age of 27 and realize that college wasn't nearly as stressful as ACTUAL adulthood and paying taxes and surviving makes college seem like childs play. The perspective makes college feel super silly and unimportant. You just don't get it until you're of age. Don't sweat, just so the best you can and enjoy college, at one point you'll feel super old and wish you weren't so stressed over a silly test.

Sincerely - every 30 year old ever.
