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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I should be starting my last year of college next week. But no. My old advisor messed up my schedule so badly that there's no way I'll graduate for another year. So I'll be in school five years for a four year program because as a freshman I thought my advisor was helping me. FML
Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. 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 fucked up my schedule on my final semester so bad I need to take a course from a community college at the same time I'm doing a full-time schedule at my university. This doesn't sound bad, but then the only course I could get into is at the same time as one of my university courses. I can't graduate otherwise. FML
Today, my college charged me for tuition for next semester. I graduated two years ago. I have a degree from a place too stupid to only charge current students. FML
Today, I found out I can't enroll in a course I need for my degree. I don't have the right prerequisites. They weren't posted anywhere. The applications for similar courses I could've taken instead have closed last week. I lost a year and a fuckton of money because I waited for the last minute, and now I can't get in. FML
Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML
Today, I went to apply for classes at a college my parents signed me up to do dual credit with. Too bad they used my sister's social security number so I don't get credit for my old classes and my new application got thrown out. FML
Today, my university is capable of sending me two diplomas in short succession due to a clerical error, but can't recognize that I've graduated and won't be taking classes with them in the fall. FML
Today, I learned that the college I'm going to in the fall has been tampering with their ratings on the internet and actually only has a 5% graduation rate. Everything's already been paid for and I can't transfer elsewhere. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sounds rather fake. 3,500$ for Bowling? Why would you even need a class on Bowling for college? Now that the serious part is out of the way... With only one class I guess you'll have a lot of SPARES. :P Maybe you should protest it and start a student STRIKE. :P Well, looks like that's another 3, 500$ in the GUTTER! :D

you 100% completely deserved it. if you would have taken responsibility for your education and payed attention to your graduation requirements (which are provided to EVERY student), you wouldn't have this problem. so i say again, you COMPLETELY deserved it and at least you get to learn with a 3500 bowling class!

Hey, find out if you can take it as an extension course. Costs way less.

I had to take a course over and only had to pay for the course...and anything that has to do with bowling is not worth another 3500.

Bowling?? Really?? That's so far fetched.

Totally your fault for not keeping tabs on your own education. You have one course of study and are one person; your advisor has dozens of students! Ditto to #115; you are provided with your graduation requirements!

Welcome to adulthood. It is your responsibility to know what you have to take and how many credits you need to graduate. Colleges provide copies of degree plans for this purpose. In other words, quit whining, you should have double checked your credit count and not depended on someone else to do it for you.

Councilors can screw you over. They can tell you that a certain course satisfies your last remaining major requirement, you take that course based on that, then you apply to graduate and they don't approve your degree audit. Ask me how I know. My degree says Summer '09 instead of all my friends who say Spring '09
