Good. Now use the feedback to improve.

Go to your professor’s office hours, reach out to the TA if there is one, attend tutoring or PASS at the CLC for that course, if you feel like you need help with your time management to complete such assignments attend PAC at the CLC. Also check your syllabus to see if your professor drops any assignment grades
You’ll be okay even though it doesn’t feel like it right now. This is coming from someone who failed their first two biology exams freshman year and still managed to get an A. Utilize every single resource you have

Don’t do it again. Get your shit together and grow up. You can do this. Prioritize. Execute.

I shockingly failed a midterm on my last semester. I thought I did well and it turned out I had a huge misunderstanding of fundamental material in that class. I met with the prof and used his feedback to improve. I still got a low B in the class, although difficult to achieve. 1 failed assignment isnt the end!

It’s only the hard things, the things we struggle with, the things we fail that we really learn from. This is a huge opportunity for growth. First thing you have to do now is to be nice to yourself. Then you can figure out what you’re going to do differently as you move forward in your education.

Sometimes failing is the push we need to do better. Go to office hours, ask for extra help. I believe in you!

Don't beat yourself up! It's your first assignment. You've got plenty of time to make up for it. I agree with u/_bagelthief. Talk to your professor. They can help you.
You can do this! I have faith in you. Just don't let it get you down.

It gets better. Enjoy a delicious meal or go do something you are passionate about. Give yourself a break and then get back to the next one

Find me someone with even a doctorate who’s NEVER failed a class. You’ve only failed an assignment; the only person who really cares at this point is you. Talk to your TAs, talk to your professor: you think you’ve broken a leg when you’ve only half-stubbed a toe. Next bit of advice is probably going to come across mean so you might not want to read it: There isn’t a person alive important enough to hold themselves to such a standard—let alone you

Keep grinding. Even if you haven't done it before try getting a tutor. You can do it. You're here cause you earned it. College is an entirely different beast than High School. Learn from it, and keep it pushing. I believe in you, you can do this.

Just learn from your mistakes and don't be afraid to ask for help. I failed an entire class my freshman year and still graduated with a 3.7 in the end.
