Clara hummed as she packed her bag after her Biology lab. She was certain she had aced the midterm, the diagrams, the explanations, everything. Her knowledge of the subject was simply vast. She was going to see the world!

The university’s online portal had posted the results. Clara leaned in, eyes scanning the screen. Her stomach lurched as she saw the grade: a D. She actually started to giggle, then covered her mouth, trying to suppress the sound. It was the best thing that had happened all day!
