My friend filed he's taxes and got an approval the second day. I filed way before him and still haven't gotten anything. Did I do something wrong?

No, you didn't do anything wrong!  

Today is the first day that the IRS is "officially" processing Tax Returns. Your return should be Accepted or Rejected within 48 Hours.  

The IRS did accept some "test" returns before their "official" start date but that doesn't necessarily mean those taxpayers will get their refund any faster.

In the meantime, you can keep track of your return here:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/wheres-my-refund/.
