Today, I ran into one of my teachers from high school. When I told her I'd just recently graduated college and was starting graduate school in the fall, she said, "You don't have to lie, some people just aren't cut out for college. There's no shame." I wasn't lying, I graduated with honors too. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I recently graduated from high school and I went to a college party. I met these girls and told them I graduated college already, to sound cool. I then heard one of them say, "I went to middle school with you, and I was in your math class." FML
Today, I've lied about my grades for three years of high school already and my mom thinks I'm a straight A student. I'm supposed to be going to college in a year. FML
Today, I ran into my favorite teacher from high school, the one that really inspired me to become one myself. I told her that I'm in my last year of college preparing to become a teacher, to which she replied, "Wow, they really are letting anyone have a crack at being a teacher these days." FML
Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML
Today, I announced to my family that I got accepted into Harvard. My grandma laughed and muttered, "Liar." FML
Today, I ran into an old student of mine at the grocery store. She didn't recognize me at first so I introduced myself as her old teacher. She looked taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Oh my God... you're still alive?" FML
Today, my high school guidance counselor tried to convince me NOT to go to college, mainly because it's been so long since someone from my high school went to college, that she got rid of all the college information she used to have. FML
Today, I saw my former high school teacher at the mall. After a nice conversation, she mentioned that I "still dress like a slut." FML
Today, I excitedly told my mom how I got accepted to the master’s program of my dreams. She decided now would be a good time to proudly repeat for the millionth time how she gave up a full ride to the Ivy League to marry my father, and I ought to be a "good woman" and do the same. FML
Today, I found out I was 13th in a graduating class of about 350 students. When I told my mother, without batting an eye, she told me, "Hey, shit floats". FML

then tell her that, and also add that your degree is probably ranked a little higher than an ordinary high school teacher's degree.

You know what, your life isn't F'd, and you didn't deserve this. Even if you were a poor student in high school, or that you slacked off, or whatever, you've proven to yourself, and to the admissions board at your graduate school, that you are a power to be reckoned with. Who cares what your old teacher thinks. You've already proved you can succeed, and you're just going to do it again. Congratulations!

Woah. I just moderated this one. In the exact same words. OP, This is hilarious, your teacher didn't believe in you. Way to prove her wrong. Were you an idiot in high school or something, though.

Typo. At the end I put a . instead of a question mark. The period looks mean. Just correcting that.

Were you an idiot or something though? Not though. Sorry, typo. Sounds like I'm calling OP an idiot.

If you graduated with honors, then don't let it get to you. You succeeded, and you know it. That's all that matters.

maybe op was a bad student in her class, thus making her believe that he isn't successful?
