Today, I missed my history exam because they'd changed the day. Apparently they sent out an email to let everyone know. Too bad I'd banned myself from the internet in order to study for the exam. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, four hours before a test, I received an email from my professor saying that the test had been canceled. When I checked my email again before bed, I found another email from my professor saying that his email had been hacked and the test was was still on. FML
Today, I found out that yesterday's exam, which I left almost blank, had been leaked 3 hours prior. I hadn't been able to see it because my phone was out of juice. FML
Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML
Today, I forgot to do my French homework, but since it was an online worksheet, I told my teacher my internet wasn't working. I told her with an e-mail. FML
Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted, Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML
Today, I called out "for personal reasons" from work because I had to study for a major test that's taking place tomorrow. An hour later, my manager called to fire me for "not taking work seriously." I then got an email telling me that the test was being postponed. FML
Today, I went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML
Today, I finally got off my lazy ass and start studying for my upcoming exam. It was going pretty well, until my classmate called and after I proudly told him about my sudden motivation, the only thing he had to say was, "You got the date wrong, the exam was on thursday." FML
Today, I've been making extremely good progress in my online class. Or at least… I was, until the deadline to complete it was suddenly pushed a whole month forward, causing me to be "behind." Then my teacher had the nerve to email me, telling me I needed to catch up. FML
Today, I was supposed to take a test, but the professor didn't have it ready because he went to a concert last night. I sold my own tickets to that very concert in order to study for the test. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That takes some serious effort to go completely cold-turkey on the Internet. You should try breaking for 15 minutes for every hour studied. That way you can relax, and you can figure out where your test is at.

Ironically, history is replete with examples of people getting crushed trying to stand in the way of progress. You would have probably failed the test had you been informed of the new time. Were you expecting to be kept aware of what's going on by, say, ... carrier pigeon?

Always check you emails at least once a day.

This is like banning oxygen. You cannot halt a fixture to our daily lives and expect no punishment.

I can't figure out if you actually find your own post amusing or if you just wanted to type "HahaHaha". I'm hoping it's the latter.

any good student knows that many schools rely soley on internet for communication you should have been aware of this and also had enough self control to check your email for any alerts while avoiding time wasters such as FML

That happened to a couple I know after they had gotten married and the guy bought her a cheap replacement ring until he could by her a new one.

This comment is on the wrong FML. I can only guess that it is supposed to be on the one about the guy who lost the ring while jet skiing.

Thank you for the clarification.

I don't quite understand this FML for various reason. For one, if you've been going to class, wouldn't there have been some sort of hint as to when the test is? Second, I'm assuming you meant that the test is scheduled for a past date, in which case it would explain the FML. If it's a later date, then no harm and more time to study right? And third, if you are taking an online class, then why in the world would you "ban" yourself from the internet knowing that teachers and so on are going to update the site with changes? I totally don't understand this FML. Seems confusing for too many reasons.

... what? How does it not make sense? It only doesn't make sense if you invent all those stupid details. Pretty simple really - the exam was set for a date, they changed the date to an earlier one, and OP did not know this because she banned herself from the net in order to study and thus never received the email. Makes perfect sense. Are you retarded or just not articulating some glaring flaw we've all missed?
