I've been feeling really down lately and I just need some hope. I'm a college student and I've been struggling with my grades. I feel like I'm not smart enough to keep up and I'm worried I'll have to drop out. I've tried talking to my professors but they just seem too busy to really help me. My family doesn't really understand what I'm going through. They keep pressuring me to get good grades and find a good job, but they don't realize how hard it is for me. I feel like I'm letting them down all the time. I know it's a lot to ask, but could you please help me? I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I feel like I'm drowning. I just need some guidance and support. Thank you for listening, Jasmine" *Jolly looks up from the letter, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

For Christmas, I want a brand new Ferrari, a mansion in the hills, and a supermodel girlfriend. I don't care if I have to step on people to get it, because I'm the one who matters.
