Read the TOS

By Lameartist - 12/02/2012 10:36

Today, I had just finished an elaborate charcoal drawing as part of a college application that took a good week. When I read over the requirements, I found out it needed to be done in graphite pencil. FML

Arson is usually frowned upon in universities.

Arson is the burning of a building.

Arson is the intentional burning of property, it doesn't only include structures, including your own. Ex: Setting your car on fire to collect insurance.

Arson is a very good kid.

In case no one understood the joke, it's a charcoal drawing and charcoal is the best base for a fire.

35 was joking as in taking it that the OP of this comment meant the school and not the paper. I can't believe nobody caught on to his hilarity!

Does anyone else think the op should've read the requirements a tad more closely?

Always read the fine print... or, in your case, just the print.

"small print" = small (but significant) details usually written in small letters

Check the times these comments were posted. It's likely they all wrote their comments when there was no similar comment yet. So no need to bash these people :)

Here's a good reason to bash: it's SHOULD'VE, contraction of "should" and "have" respectively.

149- or just "should have"... Why the need for unnecessary contractions?

At least you'll have something to use next time you get a charcoal project.

I worked really hard on a charcoal drawing just to find out that they will take any kind of art besides..... charcoal! Of course. They told me this 3 days before my audition.

You will soon learn to read all the directions clearly when you get in college. Don't waste your time doing the assignment wrong. Good luck.

College has nothing to do with it. You should fully read the directions before starting anything. They taught me that in elementary school..

akallaan 7

Yeah, but in elementary, well in my case, the teachers would point out the fine details.

They teach you that in elementary school, but you don't learn it till high school (or in op's case, college)
