I wasn't able to attend my friend's 18th birthday party because I had my art major exam due 2 days after and I wasn't done. I told her my reason and I fervently apologized to her. I had a gift for her but she wasn't able to take it. I'm having my 18th party and I invited her. She told me she doesn't think she can attend because her father is upset with me. I told her my reason for not attending again ,and I also told her to tell her father that I was sorry for not going. Was I wrong to chose my studies over my friend? I still feel bad about not attending her party. But for me, my studies is a way to repay my parents...
