Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I dropped out of college and moved back home to help my mom take care of my younger siblings after our father's death. My mom yelled at me and scolded me and lectured me for throwing my life away, and said this was the last thing she ever wanted me to do. I thought she needed help. 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 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
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. 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, my dad and his girlfriend left for a 10-day vacation. They booked an expensive beach-house. I'm an A grade student and just last month, he stopped paying my school fees because he 'couldn't afford it.' Oh, and he's making me feed the dog while he's away. FML
Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML
Today, I started at a new college. I bought my textbooks and went to my first class only to find out that they changed my schedule without telling me. I'd already opened the book. I could not get $200 back. FML
Today, I called my dad to ask why my university tuition had not been paid. He said that my school was "too expensive" and he "couldn't afford it." He then asked me if I would take in his mail while he was away. He was taking his new wife to Hawaii; apparently it's beautiful this time of year. FML

That's... awful. You'll find a way to make it work, though, if you really want to.

YDI for expecting your parents to pay for your adult schooling. i bet they bought you a car on your 16th as well? Lucky for you, you don't have to work to pay for college. You also deserved it for trusting your dad in the first place. Parents, especially fathers, as not to be trusted.

Wow Blackjaw, bitter much? Are you saying that if your parents had offered to pay thousands of dollars a year for your education you would have turned them down to prove you're not "spoiled"? Please. Stop pretending you're better than everyone because you had bad luck or a poor family.

um HELLO why is it your dad's responsibility to make sure the tuition is paid? sure my parents pay it, but i have to constantly remind them when the due date is, and then i make sure i get a confirmation from my college saying it is paid (which all colleges do). if you didn't get any confirmation email or anything, then YDI for not checking up on it.

I guess its time to take out student loans. It kinda surprises me though, that you've got to home. My loans don't usually reach the school until well into the semester, and my school doesn't kick me out. Yes, I may get a hold on my account, but the money comes in and everything is fine. To everyone bashing him about having a parent willing to pay for school: It is possible that the parents are paying up front, but OP'll have to pay them back. Some of my friends parents took out loans in their own names for lower interest rates, but my friends are still the ones paying for school.

I put FYL and YDI. FYL for your dad being a retarded asshole. But YDI for not checking beforehand to make sure everything was straight with your school.

if you're going into college you're old enough to know how to pay for your tuition by yourself. your parents have other things to worry about, so grow up and take some responsibility for your own shit
