Today, I got an email from my University informing me that I was invited to an exclusive dinner for 25 people. As I continued to read through the email, I discovered that I wasn't lucky or special, but that the dinner was for financially unstable students. They think I'm a charity case. FML

Today, after months of living on five dollars a day for food in college, I found out my parents bought me an expensive meal plan and forgot to mention it. FML

Today, I was invited to a special meal for receiving a scholarship from my college. My mom refuses to take me because “your sister’s going there too and didn’t get a scholarship; it wouldn’t be fair to her.” I guess fairness doesn’t apply to me. FML

Today, I learned that, even after several interviews and congratulations for getting the job, you still might not get the job. I just received an email stating that my accepted offer is now rejected. I already treated my close friends to an expensive dinner to celebrate. FML

Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML

Today, I went to a fancy charity dinner. I'm a schmoozer, so I decided to introduce myself to someone important. I asked enthusiastically, "So, how are you involved with all of this madness?" He frowned at me. I then remembered that this particular charity assists people with mental issues. FML

Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML

Today, I found out that I was denied for work study eligibility by my college. I went to my financial advisor to ask why. It wasn't my grades or attendance. Apparently my father makes too much money for me to get a job at the school. My dad was fired 3 months ago and has been out of work since. FML

Today, I found out I didn't get accepted into a program I was nominated to attend at work that all other applicants with less experience than myself did. I found out when they asked if I had gotten the acceptance email. They didn't even bother telling me I was rejected. FML

Today, after a big presentation, people sent an open invitation to dinner. When I asked which restaurant and what time, I was told that I wasn't invited. I've been here for three years. FML

Free food is free food. This might involve free money for school as well. You aren't above anything.

What's wrong with being poor? I'm poor, I've been poor all my life. If I was offered a free meal and possible financial aid, I'd take advantage of it in a second!

Yea, wheres the fml? This is a good thing. If you are so ******* proud you can't accept your 'financial instability', then that is an fml, in the truest sense that it is not just a moment that is ******, but your whole, insignificant, life that is ******. Majorly ******. Like, way major.

"They think" ... so what? If the lotto people thought you won the lotto when you did not would you tell them to go stick it up their ass? What the hell is wrong with you? Take the food. Meet people. Get free help.

Hey, at least you get free food, eh? I wouldn't mind being viewed as a broke bugger who can't support himself if I get free stuff out of it.

So? Students are meant to be poor unless they're living off their parents or working way too hard. It's not really embarrassing that they'd think that, and it's nothing to turn your nose up at if you are poor.

Your university is going to give you FREE FOOD and probably SCHOLARSHIP MONEY. How is this an FML at all??? I'll take your scholarship off your hands.... I'll be a "charity case".... You really are lucky to get selected for something like that. You should be more appreciative.
