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!

Hey, free food is good food. Free ANYTHING is good. This isn't an FML. Most people would love this opportunity, even if they aren't financially unstable. You should be lucky that you get a free meal. Stop bitching. Jeez.

You're clearly not financially unstable if you see this as a bad thing. Someone else definitely deserves that dinner, not you.

my only regret is that it isn't a fml, its a good thing and you definitely do not deserve it. I'm 4 days from having my classes dropped and ending up on the street. **** you sir, **** you

Being poor might suck but it's nothing to be ashamed off. Most students are poor and would gladly take any free food offered. Heck they may even offer some scholarships or extra loans for you. I went to my academic advisor's house for thanksgiving last year even though I didn't really know her and felt kind of uncomfortable just because it was free food. She even gave me some extra food to take home.

i think this person was more upset with the fact that they thought it was a letter for "lucky or special" people, obviously this person is not either of these otherwise they prolly wudnt have gotten so excited that someone else thought it too.

So what..? If they're going to pay for your education so that you can get a decent job and NOT be "financially unstable" anymore, what's so bad about that?

So what? If they think your financially unstable, they'll give you more free money! Shut up and take the dinner!

What? You think just because someone is financially unstable makes them a charity case? Keep thinking like that and you'll get your ass kicked by some of us "Charity Cases" ******* stuck up snob
