Hello,
Here is an example:
John and I went to the cinema.
Did you really mean happiest or luckiest ?

Hello,
I believe this is the sentence you'd want:
The happy students and I survived several tough weeks living in the jungle.
The original phrasing was quite odd. This is much smoother. In this situation, you should use the pronoun 'I' instead of me since you are 'surviving' as well.
The superlative of happy doesn't make much sense in this sentence. However, as stated before, you can replace 'happy' with 'lucky' or in this case even 'luckiest.'
Happy is not always replaceable with lucky. They mean very different things in most cases. In this specific instance though the sentence works either way.
