Feel like an absolute failure
I had recently finished my a levels, and missed my target of achieving 3 A*s, i really thought i could do it, not for any university offer, just to prove it to myself, and looking back on how many hours i studied per day (some days from 5am till 10pm) and how i never missed a day for like 10 months studying constantly, and believing in myself, and.. ive failed. im now in uni, not the one i wanted to be in, maybe even on the wrong course for me (engineering), because now i have officially lost all hope in studying again, I truly believe that unfortunately no matter the effort some things will just never happen.

You achieved sufficiently high grades to secure a place studying engineering at university. How is that "an absolute failure"?
Although the university isn't the one you were initially targeting, it might be the perfect uni for you. If you convince yourself that you don't "belong" there, then you're going to have a pretty miserable three years.
And you're right - some things are unachievable despite the effort one puts in. But that doesn't mean that one shouldn't put in that effort to try to achieve the unachievable. Suppose you'd let that mindset creep in during A levels, and not put in the effort that you did. What do you imagine your grades would have been like then?
So put this disappointment behind you and focus on this chapter of your life. Do the best you can, academically, at uni. Make friends. Have fun. Dwelling on the past will do you absolutely no good at all.
