Today, I went to my guidance counselor and told her how I'd been fascinated with space since I was 12, had read about the universe and everything, and how I want to be an astrologist when I grow up. She stared at me for a second, before saying, "But you're... stupid." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my teacher told me that unless I went into medicine, math, or engineering, I would never amount to anything in life. This wasn't even two minutes after I told him I want to be an author. FML
Today, my high school guidance counselor tried to convince me NOT to go to college, mainly because it's been so long since someone from my high school went to college, that she got rid of all the college information she used to have. FML
Today, for the nth time, my father reminded me that I should study things related to the "real" world, as if I was studying theology, astrology or something. I'm studying for a master's degree in physics. FML
Today, my 9-year-old daughter was acting out and wouldn't do her homework. I told her that if she didn't study, she wouldn't get her acceptance letter from Hogwarts. She looked into my eyes, straight through to my soul and said, "Hogwarts isn't real, retard." FML
Today, I had a conference with my dad, my counselor, and my history and English teachers because my dad was "concerned" about my grades in those two classes. We talked for a while and it was going well, then my counselor asked what I wanted to study in college. I said I wanted to be a teacher. He laughed. FML
Today, my whole family was so excited about watching the Artemis II launch and scolded me for not mustering more enthusiasm. Great, we can go to space now… so anytime someone talks about real issues like climate change or racism, we'll hear, "Well just go to space then" or "Space will solve our problems." FML
Today, in astronomy class, a kid used Uranus in a hilarious innuendo. I was the only one who laughed. I also happen to be the teacher. FML
Today, my daughter asked me why NASA hasn't gone to the sun yet. She's seventeen. FML
Today, I was participating in an activity to join a program which I really wanted to join. One of the teachers in charge seemed to notice my efforts and asked if I wanted to join the program. I said yes, thinking I had a chance. She laughed, shook her head before saying no and walking away. FML
Today, during my friend's group's science project presentation, the teacher yelled at me, "Stop making stupid faces at the presenters!" I was smiling. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your counselor probably had a point. If you were interested in space you would want to be an astronomer, not an astrologist.

If you thought you could get a paid career in astrology you are stupid. Maybe you should consider astronomy since you like space so much

guidance counselors base their knowledge of u based on the marks that u get. but marks mean shit. my mark for grade 12 french, first term, was a 35%. i thought i was gonna give up french. but i knew deep down i loved french. i just had fix up my act. If i told my guidance counselor i wanted to be a french teacher she probably would have said the same thing. But NOBODY KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN YOU. i KNEW i loved french. and i knew i could do it. i fixed up my act and ended off with a 65, still high enough to get into university french. and today, i'm the top student in my french class in university. which is a very high level french class mind you. and i'm only first year. If you really want it, go for it. but you have to put in some effort and rub ur success in her face!

your counselor failed at his/her occupation, and you failed knowing the name of your future one. terri-awful.

(I get a cookie! Hooray!) Wait... Aren't councelors SUPPOSED to be honest? If they gave you unrealistic expectations, wouldn't that, in the long run, be much much worse?

I cracked up when I saw #2's comment. I agree with #101. But the counselor shouldn't have been that rude.

Well given the fact that you don't even know the NAME of the field you're interested in, I would tend to agree with your counselor. It's astronomy, not astrology. Unless you're planning to become a fortune teller. In which case your counselor is right yet again. Bravo, counselor. Bravo.
