Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML

Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML

Today, I learned that my dad invested my entire college fund into some shady internet stock, despite my dire warnings about being careful. He told me not to worry as he'd done some research, and he guaranteed everything would be fine. Two hours later that same stock dropped almost 75%. FML

pay them back by burning their cars to ashes, "2012 will happen soon, we need too save money on gas so I can go to college."

This is not the "true" year 2011. The Mayans did not predict that Christianity would take over and change the year because they're selfish pricks that want to rule the world. Civilization has been around for over 5,000 years (supposedly the Jewish calendar is the most correct, but I wouldn't know for sure). Therefore it is only 2011 AD, not truly the year 2011. Meaning this "2012" disaster already happened over 3,000 years ago, so now you can all STFU. It's amazing that out of all the scientists and geniuses I'm the only person to realize this, maybe because I'm anti-religion who knows lol. 2012 will be a repeat of May 21st, people are going to go crazy thinking its the rapture or some shit AGAIN, then feel stupid the next day.

Actually, the Myan calendar didn't include leap years, so it really was supposed to end a long time ago.

Today, I had dinner with my girlfriend of five months along with my mom and dad. It all was going fine until my mom asked aloud, "Everything going smooth for you in the bedroom?" to which my girlfriend replied, "No." I'd actually been painting the master bedroom at my parent's house for some extra cash.
