Describe an Event You Felt Unhappy About Cue Card

What happened?

I was overjoyed when the product arrived within two days. After the discount, I paid Rs 8000 for it. At that price, it was a steal. It ran smoothly for the first few days. It had excellent sound quality and a captivating touch feature. However, after two days, the touch stopped working and the sound in one of the ear pods was reduced to 50%.

I contacted customer care to seek assistance. They assured me that my issue would be resolved and promised a refund. However, I was not happy to hear that instead of an exchange I was being given a refund. I had high hopes for it due to its positive reviews.

I was dissatisfied as I spent my hard-earned money on it. Despite the fact that the money will be refunded, I will no longer be able to trust online shopping websites. I've decided to buy such items only from physical stores from now on. In addition, I discovered that not everything that glitters is gold. If a product is heavily discounted, we should think twice before ordering.

What happened?
I started working as a graphic designer for a start-up six months ago. My coworkers were all extremely pleasant, and I learned a lot from them. Every weekend, the HR-team hosts a small get-together full of games and fun. This time, they were looking for new ideas, and the new HR intern was in charge of organising the entire event. She approached me and asked me to assist her. I didn't have much work, so I offered to assist her.

Eventually, we came up with the idea to hold an online Ludo Olympic which would be held over a period of three weeks. However, the team did not know that I am intensely involved in organizing this event. She took all the credit without mentioning my name once which I didn't feel happy about. I worked really hard and dedicated most of my time to do all the work related to the event. However, when she did not bring up my name even once, I was really unhappy about it.

I realised that I need to draw a line as I have this habit of going out of the way to help people. After spending tireless nights and waking up with baggy eyes, the least I hoped for was some appreciation from my colleague. However, this incident has helped me to make some amends in the way I will now work at my workplace.

When I was in my final semester, I really needed to raise my CGPA to 8 in order to be admitted to the top university in my city for master's programme admission. I put in a lot of effort, but when the results came in, my CGPA was 7.8. I was extremely disappointed because I had given that semester my all. Day in and day out, I worked on all of the critical subjects that required more attention.

Where were you then?

I cut back on my socialising and didn't waste time watching movies or playing online games. I put in extra study time and prepared every topic I thought would be important for the exam. Because having an 8 CGPA was critical for my admission. I planned and acted accordingly. However, when the outcome was announced, I was disappointed.

I hoped to raise my average, but despite my best efforts, I was unable to do so. This nearly broke me, but I've accepted the situation and decided to apply to another recognised university. I intended to switch in the second year because they allow for lateral entry. It can be painful when you put in so much effort and still don't get what you want. I have channelized that in a positive direction and I am hopeful to make it into my first preferred university.
