Hard work doesn't always pay off

Midterm week. Last few moments to cram all of the ideal information into your brain before you take the test. Cram- that's the key or is it not. I realized I put all my energy into trying to ace the midterms I neglected my family.. And I got called out for it. But I was always told this is the deal breaker. You have to do well, so colleges will still want you. I have enough stress in my life, to hear that didn't help. I guess I won't be surprised if I do poor. Karma is on my family's side and I don't feel too good. I feel the anxious butterflies in my stomach and also just really low. I suppose, we shall find out tomorrow.
