Today, I'm neck-deep in debt paying for med school. What's worse, the professors here are so terrible that even the morons on Yahoo Answers are 100 times better at explaining my coursework to me. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I was watching a TV show about people with shopping addictions. One girl was $15,000 in debt and I thought how horrible it would be to live with that. Then I realized that I'm in medical school and currently $135,000 in debt. At least they have something to show for their debt. FML
Today my college professor told me that I ask him too many questions. Apparently, my college tuition fee doesn't include learning. 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 applied for college graduation. Turns out my advisor screwed me over and now I'm 1 credit hour short of getting my degree. Now I have to wait another semester and pay $3,500 just to take a one hour class on Bowling so that I can graduate. FML
Today, I've been feeling like my efforts are never enough. I had 4 exams in one goddamn week, didn't sleep at all for 3 days studying, only to get completely demolished. The teachers put the most complicated problems as if they WANT us to fail. If I fail one class, I'm getting kicked out of my program. FML
Today, I found that my medical school has lost its WFME (World Federation for Medical Education) accreditation and my certificate (that I should be obtaining in two years) will be worthless. To pour salt into the wound, I have finals next week and it's hard to stay motivated after this kind of news. FML
Today, it's gotten to the point where I can't afford my ADD medication anymore. Now, I'm literally too poor to pay attention. FML
Today, I found out that my stick figure drawing passed as homework during my doctoral level seminar. I'm paying over two thousand dollars for this course. FML
Today, I fell asleep for 20 minutes during my first final in law school. I took a $70k loan to be here. FML
Today, I'm in a US college. I could've gone into a trade or internship, but no one listened. Now, while my parents brag to their friends that their child has a degree, I'll probably be spending the rest of life in crippling debt, sleeping on the side of the road, and begging strangers for table scraps.

If the people on Yahoo Answers are able to help you with your coursework, then by logic they're not morons after all. They're smart enough to understand your studies, if nothing else.

I guess I'm missing the point. If they're better than your own instructors wouldn't that make your instructors the morons?

Most professors aren't the problem. You're in med school. TAKE initiative

Ever think that maybe the problem is with you and not with the professors? Is everyone else in your classes clueless as well? Perhaps the professors are assuming you have a certain level of knowledge and have read the assigned books.You're in med school now, professors aren't going to spoon feed you anymore. The "morons" on Yahoo answers are clearly smarter than you and are able to explain it in such a way that even you can understand. It begs the question - how did these people figure it out and you can't? I'd be surprised if they all went to med school. You're in med school, it's time to take personal responsibility. Just because you're in med school, you shouldn't look down people. Especially those on Yahoo answers that are clearly smarter or work harder than you.

you should probably go speak to someone. those "professors" may need to be replaced by someone who can actually do their job. I wouldn't waste any money until you get a response

There are tuition repayment options in certain hospitals. If you agree to work in a certain hospital or rural area for the deemed amount of years they say, the hospital will pay ALL of your medical school tuition. You need to look into it.
