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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

It's $3500 for one credit hour at your school? Where the hell do you go?

$3500 per year. You pay for one year, and go to as many classes as you like.

That's liberal arts... Long lives crap that you can read about on Wikipedia and has no practical value in real life unless you go on jeopardy!

Why not apply to a community college locally and take an easy in seat or online class this semester that can transfer to your college?? It'll be a hell of a lot less than $3500. Most comm colleges offer 8 week classes that transfer. Also, if youve taken any AP classes in High school look at getting them added to your transcript. Or maybe see if you can take what used to be called CLEP exams to test out of a class but essentially get the credit hours for it on your transcript. I personally would go meet with the department chair of your program because while colleges don't advertise they can do it most will grant you the ability to waive certain classes or reqs if it's your last semester especially if you have all of your core classes completed. And if the Dept chair doesn't do anything work your way up the university ladder and speak with the next person above the Dept chair which I believe would be the Vice Provostof student affairs. Good luck and fyl.

I'm kind of blaming you for this. I'm the kind of person who would know exactly how many credits I had and how many I needed.
