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.

So she doesn't know much about you. . . her bad for trying to always be right.

Really, the only thing I could think of when I read this (in regards to the teacher) was "what a bitch". A pessimistic one, at that. Anyway, good for you. Continue proving her wrong.

What. A. Bitch. Someone like that had no business teaching. At all.

??? I think this site needs a "your life rocks" option. Your teachers thought you'd fail but instead you went to college, graduated with honors, and now you're headed to grad school. What better revenge is there?

It was not about graduating with honors. It was about the teacher's condescension.

What a rude, condescending bitch. Congrats for graduating with honors and getting into grad school! That's a major accomplishment and your teacher is probably just being a jealous hag. My sixth grade teacher told me I wasn't "college material" and that if I graduated high school, I should just find a "quiet job" for "people like me". Now I'm a Dean's List honors student in college with plans to go to grad school. I wish I could rub it in her face. Success is the best revenge. You've done well; be proud of yourself. :)
