How do I deal with life being so unfair?

how do i deal with life being so unfair. i didn’t get enough money to go to my dream school and i did everything to try and raise money but got nothing. there was one scholarship i was told i didn’t need or shouldn’t even attempt to apply for because my parents/ family doesn’t demonstrate financial need (we are middle class). another kid at my school applied even though he doesn’t have financial need either but he got it. my gpa, test scores, and activities blow his stats out the park but i didn’t apply because i was told not to. i don’t mean to make an assumption about his finances but we live in the same neighbor hood, both his parents are doctors, and he was about to commit to the same school at full price (95k). i feel like i deserved that money so much and im really having a hard time dealing with feeling like nothing i’ve done has payed off. i’ve worked so hard and im forced to go to my last choice school which doesn’t even have my major simply because i couldn’t afford any private and “public ivy” schools i got into. i’ve worked genuinely so hard and have put myself through so much and this kid gets to go to my dream school by working half as hard. he applied to this scholarship literally because he didn’t read the description that read “demonstrates financial need based on CSS and FASFA, …etc” Some how he got it because maybe financial weren’t looked at as much or maybe not many people applied. i was told by my literal college counselor i wouldn’t qualify

please don’t tell me i should’ve applied 😭 im really crashing out rn
