Good is never good enough

Been really busy with school. Work is taking a toll on me because i feel so pressured to do well.

My parents especially, adds the pressure and really drives me crazy sometimes. They expect so much from me that sometimes its so hard to please them. So hard that good is really never good enough.

They came home just now, asked me about my test today. Today's test was on microsoft excel and i just don't get excel but i really tried my best to figure out the answer for the whole 50 mins of the test. In the end, I got a B,73/100 which to me is already an achievement because i really dont understand a shit about excel. So i told them i got a B, they freaked. ITS A FUCKING B and they were taken aback, like as if i told them i failed. They started overreacting and saying how its bad cause they expect me to get an A or a Z( distinction). They expect so much from me to the extent that even a B equals BAD. They even said they want me to get an A for every subject.

They even starting panicking and started accusing me of slacking and taking it easy. Which is totally ridiculous because i really try my fucking hardest for every single subject and they just dont have a clue. Every night before a test, i will be reciting everything i learnt that day in my brain before i sleep and sometimes i cant even sleep because i keep worrying about not doing well and disappointing them.

All this crap because, with my GPA of 3.75 last sem, they expect me to maintain that score and even try to get EVEN higher. Yes i agree, i should maintain it and i really hope and want to maintain it as well but i mean, they just don't get it and see how i am really trying so damn hard.
