You expect the world to bend to your will. You have to be far more careful with where you pick your battles, and decide which hill to die upon. The professor wanted you to use a set of tools, and you chose to ignore them, of course you're going to get dinged on your grade, you didn't follow instructions. Take the class over, and do it right this time, and you'll likely get a much better grade. College (Uni?) is all about seeing if you can fit in, and be a useful cog in the system. If you aren't easy to work with, nobody is going to hire you, and your life will suffer as a consequence. Everybody is just trying to get along, and you don't seem to want to recipricate.
