No fair!

Have you ever been in a situation where you've worked so hard on something, and a friend puts absolutely no effort the work, yet manages to receive a higher grade on it. Well if you haven't, you're in luck. Because I've been through it so many times throughout my education career, that it's really getting to the point where I'm extremely frustrated and confused. Back in high school, I remember being in English class with the valedictorian of my class. She and I were very good friends, but the only thing that kept us from getting along half of the time was the fact that she would always get higher scores on schoolwork than me. Especially when it comes to essays. I would work on it day and night, dedicating myself to try to make the essay perfect, where she on the other hand, would "bs" the essay the night before, and even finish it up beginning of class, and end up with the higher score than me. It really annoys me. Not only on essays, but also on tests. So I'm thinking from now on, I should try and "bs" on essays, and maybe not even study for anything, and just maybe, maybe I'll end up with a higher score. Yeah right, that's not possible for me. Instead of passing with a high score, I'll be the one with failing grade ;)
