 You be the best that you can be and don't worry what others are doing with their lives. Also realize that going to a better college does not make someone better than you in the slightest. When you are feeling down and only looking at another person's surface it seems like they are doing great and have it all figured out. It's hardly so. No one is better than anyone else, just different (excluding serial killers, rapists and the like of course). Your only problem is low self esteem. Think about all the good things about YOU that make you who you are and focus on your own goals rather than compare your life to anyone else.

I'll keep doing what i can and see what i make of myself in the future.

 You can START by understanding that a note like this one is inappropriate.... and that NOBODY is "better than (you)" unless you let them be so......
C'mon... puff out your chest and say to yourself (and anyone else who will listen): "I am a terrific person... and I can do or be anything that I want....and I will NOT let myself in to being fooled in to compromising on the many things that I want my life to be.... and, to anyone who thinks that I am NOT "the cat's pajamas".... F*** you... I am a damn good person, capable of just about anything... so, clear out of the way and let me get on with my life...."
Good luck...
