"you just push forward. do better next time. don't pretend to be such a princess that one major fuckup is going to besmirch your pristine record irrevocably and no one will want your non-virginal offerings. and don't flatter yourself that you're the only smart and capable slacker to blow an assignment here and there. they've seen you, they've seen better and they've seen worse. that feeling, that crushing guilt? analyze it, adapt as necessary and move on. don't run away because you feel bad. figure out what that feeling has to teach you and put it in perspective.
easier said than done, but you've learned this by now - running away doesn't solve anything, and try as you might, you aren't going to outrun your inherent flaws. may as well face them and learn to improve."
