Today, I live in dorms and found out everyone is leaving for Christmas break. I also found out my student loan didn't go through, so now I cant afford to go visit my family that lives over 7 hours away. I guess I'll be spending Christmas alone in a dorm room. FML

Today, I went home, where I live alone, from my dorm room at my university. The only Christmas cards I had received were addressed to the person that lived there before me. FML

Today, after having recently moved 300 miles to be with my boyfriend of 2 years, I have to celebrate Christmas alone. He never thought our relationship important enough to tell his family about me, and doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML

Today, because I had to leave the country without notice and didn't have reception to notify my college, I have been irreversibly dropped from all my classes without a refund and will have to reapply for January. FML

Today, my family cancelled coming for Christmas again for the third time in four years. I only get to see my son for a few hours in the morning, then I'll be on my own the whole time. Again. FML

Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML

Why are you using your student loans to pay for non School things? You're not supposed to be using your money for trips. Also, your student loans won't come in till the next semester starts, so the money wouldn't have been there till January anyway.

Right, but it’s pretty dumb to spend it on anything but tuition or housing.

Maybe she was planning on using her own money but now she has to save it to pay for what the loan would have? it's also possible she could be on a grant system where her living expenses are paid including travel.

Hi Guys, OP here. Let me explain this a little better, I am not using my student loan for other activities. But since my student loan did not go through I am now using the money I saved for Christmas to pay the remainder of my tuition. My family is already helping me out, so I don't want to ask them to spend more money on me, I will just have to plan a trip down there when I have a bit more money saved up.
