Today, I saw a letter from Geneseo that invited me to apply to the honors college. Excited, I wrote the required two page essay on how I am organized. I then saw the strict deadline was March 15th. My little brother thought it would be funny to hide my mail. For the past seven weeks. FML

Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML

Today, I was excited to hear that I received three of my grad school recommendations in the mail from a very busy professor. They need to be submitted sealed, and of course, my nosy mom decided to open them. FML

Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML

Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML

Today, I got a letter from Yale law school saying I got a 4 year full scholarship. I called my dad crying and read the whole thing... even the bottom, which said, "April fools! Love mom and dad." FML

Uhm...how would saving it on the computer do anything? They got the notice to apply AFTER the deadline...

Fake. How would you not notice your mail was missing for seven weeks?

OP probably doesn't have direct control over the mail if he is living with his parents still. his little brother probably grabbed the mail before anyone if he got home first. Secondly, these are offers coming in, not expected bills. I don't receive mail where I live except for a few bills. It's easy to miss junk mail or special offers when one is not expecting it.

If you're smart enough to get requested to apply you will get in somewhere else. It sucks but you will fine. Try breaking up with a girlfriend you have had for 3 years 2 months because she felt God had convicted her to do it....

if you want to complain about your life, post an fml. don't just comment on an unrelated one.

Or you could try breaking up with an actual spouse (wife or husband) because you found them sucking dick in your bed. While also having to give half your stuff to them.

How can you even compare those matters ?! With that logic, you cannot complain about your girlfriend because some people don't have a roof or enough to eat...
