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

Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML

Today, I asked my parents if I had a college fund because I will be going to university in two years. They laughed. FML

Is that even legal?
Today, I discovered that my mom got my college fund in the divorce. I will never see that money again and now I can’t afford a four year school. FML

Poof, gone!
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, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." 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

Pump and dump
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

Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. 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."

OP: FYL for having parents who are so stupid they believe in something based on the Mayan calendar that even the existing Mayans and even the Mayan who created the calendar don't and did not believe. BTW, What the Mayan who created the calendar said was at the end of the calendar "something" was going to happen. That is literally what they said, "something", not the end of civilization or the end of the world, just something. Do you want to know what else is "something"? A big party and the start of a new calendar.

Get a substantial student loan and have them sign for it. In their minds they won't have to ever pay it back. If they give you any flack, you know they are full of Sh**, and that they both probably have pretty bad drug habits.

Or they got carpal tunnel from writing a couple thousand years worth of dates (in stone) and was like "ah **** it's far enough". Not everything is this big conspiracy theory.

**** your life for having stupid parents. Honestly, the Mayans didn't even see their own demise, so what makes your parents think they're going to be right about the world ending in 2012?
