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!

this is why we say mathematics when speaking professionally.

Hehe, an unfortunate but funny mistake. I'm sure they will get a little chuckle out of it. Hopefully, it won't affect the outcome negatively.

Most important thing in college is to proof read

E and a are nowhere close to eachother and most people look at a screen when they type so this is obviously fake

You are probably safe as long as you are not a Chemistry major.

Haha well at least they can tell your not a "writing and grammar enthusiast"! I would Wright them back refolding the mix up and add a joke that days something like that (least they can tell your not a "writing and grammar enthusiast") and I'm sure they will brush off the mishap and chuckle a bit.
