I had the worst day ever in the history of worst days! I feel so bad and I wish that I had never gotten up to go to school this morning just to avoid today. This day was so bad that I might as well give up on the idea that nursing school will be enjoyable and that I might have friends.
No one will be friends with me after this!
I know I sound dramatic but don't roll your eyes yet. This is not your cliche bad clinical stories on here or bad day at work or anything. I did a very bad thing based on an assumption and now I'm hated and/or black listed. Okay fine, that does sound dramatic. But this person was nice to me. In fact she knows my mom and she's seen me around town and now she hates me. I haven't made any friends but if I had to choose, she'd be one of the people I would pick.
I sent a file that was on her phone to a WhatsApp group I made for everyone in the class. It was topics that we could use to study for the midterms test on biochemistry. But...I did it without her permission. What happened was, I saw that she had a PowerPoint up and I thought that could help others and asked her to send it to the group. She didn't know how so I kinda went through it and while looking for it I saw a file called 'midterm review'.
I remembered a while back about her and a couple of other students talking about some kinda cheat or something on one of the subjects and assumed they circled it around. I thought they would share it but some of us didn't get it (well, I didn't) and so since it would help, I sent it to the group.
Apparently, she was the only that had it and got it from another source and she could get in trouble if anyone found out. Still wondering how she would get in trouble since she had the topics and not the actual questions.
The thing I need to know is: how can I fix this?
I deleted the group and created another group (although in the end it didn't help). I feel super bad - I actually cried when I went home and I still feel like crying.
If this list of possible topics is not from a test blueprint that the professor provided, it is cheating. It is cheating in that it probably came from a previous test or tests. The fact the OP said that only a few, one or two I think they said, had access to it, implies it was gotten dishonestly and provided by a professor.
Yep, you screwed up. Violating privacy is never a good way to go, especially as you haven't really made friends in the group yet from what I read in your OP). Yeah, it can feel irritating she's got a cheat-sheet, but that's her business. My advice would be to apologize, take responsibility, and stop using all this online social media - it always seems to land somebody in hot water!
I do have to say that if this counts as your worst day ever in the history of worst days then you have led a pretty cushy life. A "worst day ever in the history of worst days" involves something along the line of being shot at an open air concert in Vegas, losing your home or life to a CA wildfire, or being crushed under the wheels of truck driven by a maniac terrorist. P*****g off a peer due to some social-media App snafu does not even register on the scale of worst day ever in the history of worst days, sorry.

Your life must be pretty charmed if this is the "worst day ever."[/Quote]
Oh, and for Christ's sake tone down the overblown "worst day in the history of worst days". Don't you ever read the news? Have you ever been in a hospital or an nh%?[/Quote]
Right?? OP, Google Image "Christians in Syria," or "Radium Girls."
I recently read the book by that title; the first death went something like: 25-ish woman suffered for months with jaw necrosis and ulcerations in mouth. Jaw bone came out in dentist's hand. She lived in constant agony for months. Eventually the ulcerations ate from her esophagus all the way through her IJ's, and she bled out from her mouth. Another woman developed a sarcoma in her lady parts -- it grew to the size of two footballs.
Or Google any number of famous survival stories, e.g. the Greely or Shackleton expeditions, the sinking of the USS Indianapolis or the whaleship Essex, the entrapment of the Donner party, the Peshtigo fire....
You had a bad day. You did NOT have the worst day in the history of worst days. Histrionics aren't particularly useful.
I was on her phone trying to send a certain file to a group. I saw a midterm review paper with the topics that would come on the midterm biochem exam. I sent it to the WhatsApp group without her permission. She got upset and yelled at me.
Still confused?
I wouldn't speak to you anymore if I were her.
I make study guides all the time, but I worked really hard on them. You're not to be trusted.

Good point.
