That is the analogy, as this player has already ended up in the wrong place and is panicking about it. They've already received their F. What lays ahead of them is whether or not they are completely barred from their server or not, with no way back.
They aren't barred from higher education (which i assume means playing ffxiv, as you said barred from higher ed. meaning i couldn't get it elsewhere like another server) they just have to make new friends! OH NO!! and if a single set back derails your life or your characters life so drastically that there is no hope, then there really is no hope, but you're putting a lot of words in the OPs mouth and this is way derailed.

Back on track: the OP screwed up despite all needed information being readily and easily available, and now they should have to "sleep in the bed they made" to use a cliche.
