You know what the biggest lesson of life college teaches you? Personal responsibility.

You can study and study and know everything, and still fail. You can say it's unfair and whatnot, but you still failed. But instead of failing and learning from that, you're failing and not taking responsibility if you say it's not fair and that it's someone else's fault.

Life is fair. That test was there and it wasn't created with the sole intention of failing you. The fact that you studied a lot more for this is NOT an indication that you were prepared. For some exams I would not study and do better than my friends that had. For some it was the opposite. The point is you failed. Try and say a word or two to the prof to see if he/she will consider weighing things differently for you. If that happens know that is an act of kindness and quite actually unfair. You are getting a grade for something you did not do. If you'd ask me, in some ways it's similar to cheating.

Now for reporting the cheating. You really think a couple kids can destroy a curve? You realise you want to report this because you did bad and not because they cheated (Nietzche might have something to say about that)?

Seriously learn from this. In the future don't take on more than you can handle. Be prepared to stumble because while life is fair, it isn't perfect.
