Today, we got a letter regarding my sister's college career and an appointment she was required to go to. This seems fitting, since she's a senior in high school, or at least she would be if she hadn't passed away a little over a year ago. FML

Today, my younger sister's dog broke its leg. The vets are closed today so instead of going on a date with a girl I have been trying to get for at least 2 years, I need to carry an 80 lb. dog that hates me, up and down the stairs. I already got bit twice. FML

Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML

Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML

Today, my horse learned a new acrobatic trick. Unfortunately, I was still on top of him when he tried to somersault. The horse is fine. I'm in the hospital, fresh out of surgery for a broken femur. FML

Today, I told my professor that I'll be missing class next week due to upcoming surgery. I asked if I could take the exam that I'd otherwise miss another day. He said no, and that I'd just have to take a failing grade, then wished me luck with the surgery. FML

Today, I had to give up going to a therapist because it was too expensive and my parents couldn't afford it. Meanwhile, a girl in my class is getting a therapist for her dog. FML

You must end the horse. An unfortunate accident would work.

Someone else paying for their college ed wasn't even an option for 90% of the people I know. Get a loan, get a job, pay for it yourself.

perhaps you shouldn't go to college, considering the fact your to stupid to realize that there's other options besides your parents. ydi

Where did she say she was using her parents for college money? Maybe she doesn't even HAVE parents and she has to help her sister in this situation and give her money so she doesn't sound selfish.. People on FML jump to conclusions too much.

Horse or my child's education? I think I'd rather have my kid go to college than pay for surgery for my other kid's horse.

Maybe the sister shouldn't have a horse until she can cover its costs herself.

the horse is worth the money, and there are student loans and you could get a job? or maybe if you worked harder in school then you would be able to get at least some money in the different awards and scholarships, there are a million different ways to be able to pay your own way through college you shouldn't have to rely on your rents, when i go to uni i won't have them paying for it

I agree with the sentiment, though I wish it wasn't presented in a way which indicated so strongly that you are in desperate need of further education.
