Today, I had just finished an elaborate charcoal drawing as part of a college application that took a good week. When I read over the requirements, I found out it needed to be done in graphite pencil. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

Arson is usually frowned upon in universities.

Arson is the burning of a building.

Arson is the intentional burning of property, it doesn't only include structures, including your own. Ex: Setting your car on fire to collect insurance.

Arson is a very good kid.

Who the hell cares about arson and what it means? Just burn the damn thing!

You make a good point there, sir.

you can probably get away with specifying that it's a 6B graphite stick

Or this, this is good too (compared to my idea)

Hey 35! Fail!

In case no one understood the joke, it's a charcoal drawing and charcoal is the best base for a fire.

35 was joking as in taking it that the OP of this comment meant the school and not the paper. I can't believe nobody caught on to his hilarity!

Yes. Without it, the idiots will ask the same question in rapid succession.

Next time i would read the requirements first.

bizarre_ftw | 21

#4026444 - Sunday 12 February 2012 22:48

Does anyone else think the op should've read the requirements a tad more closely?

xcarxcrashx | 9

#4026911 - Monday 13 February 2012 2:20

*the second but should have been bet

I had to re-read it a couple of times to figure out what I meant.

YDI for not reading the requirements beforehand to make sure.

I thumbed you up because you and #2 posted these at the same time.

Always read the fine print... or, in your case, just the print.

KyuuketsukiApple | 30

#4026575 - Sunday 12 February 2012 23:39

"small print" = small (but significant) details usually written in small letters

Ydi you should of read the requirements before starting

Double post, my phone was being dumb

bizarre_ftw | 21

I refer you to comment two and replies

Isoldael | 25

#4026503 - Sunday 12 February 2012 23:17

Check the times these comments were posted. It's likely they all wrote their comments when there was no similar comment yet. So no need to bash these people :)

laden_swallow09 | 34

#4027605 - Monday 13 February 2012 4:36

Here's a good reason to bash: it's SHOULD'VE, contraction of "should" and "have" respectively.

VeganVampyre | 26

#5471600 - Tuesday 30 April 2013 4:37

149- or just "should have"... Why the need for unnecessary contractions?

At least you'll have something to use next time you get a charcoal project.

#4027819 - Monday 13 February 2012 5:33

I worked really hard on a charcoal drawing just to find out that they will take any kind of art besides..... charcoal! Of course. They told me this 3 days before my audition.
