Today I got a letter from my college in the mail telling me I graduated cum laude with a 3.51 GPA and would receive my diploma in July. My first reaction was excitement and pride, I had thought my GPA would be a 3.3. Almost a minute later I began to think about how there was still two levels of honors after cum laude which I didn't achieve. I felt stupid. I keep thinking how absolutely average I am and how I wish I could have graduated with outstanding honors and just honors. It feels painful to think I didn't do the absolute best there was. And then I spiral into, I'll never have a job..I'm not good enough for grad school.

Is this normal? Or am I being really hard on myself. I always thought honors was great, but now I think I should have been able to achieve more.
