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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

Hmm I graduated from university and I know for sure you are given a few weeks after you have started classes to pay tuition. You should have checked on your tuition bill which is connected to your student account. And if your dad just didn't want to pay, there is always financial aid!

It varies; tuition for my school is due two weeks before classes start. But I agree; OP definitely should have checked to make sure the tuition was paid.

- your dad's either an idiot, or an asshole. - im surprised NOBODY involved noticed that you hadn't been payed for (usually there's some sort of indication sent from the school itself) - that college is pretty stupid itself... it's a good idea to take students in that haven't payed and collect interest on them. it's not like having an extra student in a class that already is happening is going to lose them ANY money whatsoever.
