Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my 20th birthday! Happy birthday to me! My boyfriend threw a beer can through my back wind-shield after breaking up with me. FML
Today, I celebrated my 22nd birthday. On my cake stood last year's "21" candle, to which had been added a single candle. Clearly, times are tough. FML
Today, I got fired. Yesterday was my birthday and I was told I was getting a promotion. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I had to work. My boss wished me a happy birthday, and then told me I was fired. FML
Today, I had my sweet sixteen party. All my best friends came to the microphone to make a little speech. When my boyfriend came to do his, he broke up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 8 years broke up with me on my 30th birthday, through text message. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend, since we weren't getting along. When I got home, I remembered that today is his birthday. Him and all our friends now think I'm a total bitch. FML
Today, I turned 22. Instead of cutting my own cake, I stood by and smiled at a friend's belated birthday party. Her birthday was actually two months ago, but she decided to have her party on my birthday. No one remembered mine but everyone got her beautiful gifts. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML

not sure if you're serious but in case you are: People don't only get fired because they're bad workers(, you have no idea how much she cares about her education just because she didn't pass (you don't know if it was difficult), and the only reason to break up isn't because your partner is "bad". And where did she claim to be unlucky?

You're not unlucky, you're a bad worker, you don't care much about education, and you were a bad girlfriend, that's why you were fired, dumped and failed a midterm. Don't blaim your failures on bad luck.

When was luck ever mentioned in this?

You are very judgemental and have no basis to make those kind of assumptions. When bad shit happens in your life, I hope you know how it feels to have people assume that ydi.

The OP’s name is “Unlucky22”—that’s where luck was mentioned. However, the first commenter is being a little harsh since we don’t have any background on OP. She could be a bad worker, not care about her education, and be a terrible girlfriend, or there could be outside factors contributing to these events. We really don’t know enough to judge her as a person either way, but her life does suck right now.

Sorry love but maybe it's time for some self reflection and accountability.

Well, you shouldn't have been studying for the midterm while at work, and you certainly should have been studying harder. Furthermore, if you're going to spend all of your time at work and school, you're bound to lose your boyfriend. On the plus side, you now have extra time to study and to leech off of some new guy that hopefully has graduated and has a great job.

Not to mention the fact that you dropped a tart on the floor and still owe your best friend’s house mate a new dish!

I believe that a perfect storm so you can start your new year off fresh.

So the last few days of year 21 were not so great...look at turning 22 as a fresh start! ?

Don’t try to kiss a horse today.

Do you have anything else to do except for commenting on fml website?
RichardPencil 32
I have plenty of other things to do and I get them all done. You must be one of these dullards who has to spend hours to come up with what they believe is a great comment, and then graces the readers with "That sucks."

Wrong post Dad. The horse was the other one. Or did you get bit again too?
RichardPencil 32
It’s one of those meta-comments. If she tried to kiss a horse today, her string of shitty things happening would continue on a fourth straight day.

Your set for the year, as bad things only come in 3's! Happy Birthday!
