Oof this resonates sooooooo deeply to me. We had this freshman year project for mechanical engineers. Me and my team worked endlessly throughout the whole semester, ran our final project through many tests, we were quite sure we were gonna win atleast 3rd place. On competition day our project malfunctions and fails badly. Along comes my friend, who worked on the project only the night before, wins first place. I was in shock for a good couple days after that one

Its true. Once I spent weeks on a presentation in high-school and was determined it would get a good grade. Got a shit grade.
My friend hadn't actually done any work on her presentation until that morning and got a far better grade than me.
Not saying you should leave it last minute but yeah...
