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?

On the plus side, it can pretty much only get better from here. Trust me: it’s easier to deal with these things at 22 than 32, 42 and so on.

You are looking at it all wrong. You're in college so you wasn't going to keep that job anyway. Your boyfriend breaking up means you can find better. Failing your midterm means you can use better study habits. breathe and keep going. life will get better

by the time i was 22 i was deep into my drug habit... Dropped out of university, left a loving boyfriend for an abusive alcoholic. Im 24 now and half a year sober. don't worry, these things are temporary and relationships are overrated. the most important thing is that you love yourself and believe in yourself.
