Today, after submitting my college application, I noticed that I mistyped "math enthusiast" as "meth enthusiast". FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Today, after finishing a two hour essay exam that will determine the future of my career, I realized I misread the question. FML
Today, I applied online for a position and typed, "OH&S Certificate." It autocorrected to, "OH&SHIT Certificate." I didn't notice until the site e-mailed me a copy of my completed application. They'd already received it. FML
Today, I missed points on a math quiz because I thought 2 times 5 was 20. I'm a math major. FML
Today, after meticulously rereading my application, merging references, budgets, academic transcripts and itineraries for an amazing scholarship, I clicked submit, only to remember that the system was on Daylight Savings time, which we don't have in my state! I missed out on $2,500 by 3 minutes. FML
Today, I mailed out a college application that is going to another country. I paid $250 for the application and $11 for shipping. I just realized that I forgot to sign the bottom of the application. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Today, I had to complete a simple math problem to submit a web form in order to show that I wasn't a spam robot. I got it wrong. I'm officially too bad at arithmetic to prove I'm human. FML
Today, I was working my job as a waitress near my college. I handed a customer her check, and she noticed that I had added her bill wrong. I apologized, and she pointed to my "student" labeled nametag, asking what I was studying. I said English. I'm a math major. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Can't you resend it or something like that? Maybe try to send an email correcting your typo. At least they'll know you weren't screwing around and it was simply just a typo. That might not make up for it, but at least it's a try.

Well... They might switch your major to say the least!

Can't really blame you for your enthusiasm. Meth is just /so/ powerful—you'd be amazed how much meth your computer does every millisecond.

Some programs are pretty serious about spelling. You should read stuff out loud, and then read it backwards (sounds silly but it works). My program currently deducts 5% per unique grammar/spelling mistake, up to 50% off.

The e and a keys are nowhere near each other and autocorrect would never change a word to a drug I call bs on this post

That's OK for some schools, but probably not the one you wanted to get into.
