Today, in a desperate attempt to add some variety to my life, I resorted to closing my eyes and picking a random font for my essay paper. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized how much I'm on the computer. I tried to "CTRL+Z" on something I wrote down on my paper. FML
Today, I was writing my rough draft of an essay, and I forgot how to spell a word. I waited for auto correct to help. I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I did a 3 hour long assignment for school. I was bored so I gave it the title "F***ing Assignment for a F***ing Teacher." I went downstairs only to discover that the printer was out of ink. So I sent it to her email, then I realized that I didn't change the title. FML
Today, after pulling an all-nighter on an essay, I submitted it one minute before the deadline and felt like a genius. Later, I reopened the file and discovered I'd uploaded the rough draft instead of the final version. The last line ended with “fix this later,” which was not my finest academic work. FML
Today, I was frustrated at work so to have fun, I wrote an email to myself saying that I was great and loved myself and should relax. I used all different colors and fonts. Instead of hitting "delete", I hit "print" without realizing. My manager got it out of the printer and put it on my desk. FML
Today, I frantically finished a paper that I needed to complete before midnight about the competencies of my pharmacy school. When it came time to submit, I accidentally selected the file below my paper, which was my personal log of beer reviews and personal favorites. FML
Today, I was writing an essay while sleep-deprived. In between actually writing, I started typing my thoughts. It was only after I’d submitted the essay that I realized that I hadn’t deleted the random words. My teacher can see my early-morning rambling about potatoes. I have no way to delete it. FML
Today, I had to hand write a 10 page essay for one of my classes. When I turned it in I got an automatic zero. It was written in blue. Not black. FML
Today, I was prioritizing my extreme amount of homework. I read over the front page of my psychology paper seeing that it was pretty easy questions, I decided to do it last. Little did I know there was a 8 page essay on the back of the page. It's 12:19 am. FML
Today, while correcting essays, I spilled ketchup on a student's paper. I managed to successfully turn it into a happy smiley face but when proudly looking at the result, noticed it was right next to the big "F" that I had graded it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't think your teacher will appreciate that

Either you're on crack, or I'm reading German.

not sire if you got it and disliked or but this is what he's trying to say: the way I do it is misspell every word and see if spell check can guess them all.

closing your eyes to type wouldn't phonetically spell out words though...

#25 I'm quite proud I could actually understand that, being a non native English speaker and all. *pats herself on the back and goes bleach her eyes. Edit: this was supposed to be a response to #25, but ok, go wherever you want, comment.

Impressive. I'm a native English speaker, and I have no idea what was trying to be said.

If you understood #25. Could you translate it to me? Pleeeeease! :-P

It's a start. Now open your friend list on Facebook, and select a random person to ask out on a date. (Let's hope it's not one of your cousins.)

Be careful your teacher/professor accepts anything other than what he/she specifies! Or you will lose points...

I'd laugh if it was Webdings.

Stick to Helvetica or Times New Roman.

No, Times New Roman or a similar serif font. It's been shown that it's easier to read long passages of text in a serif font. Sans serif fonts like Helvetica and Arial are better for signs, headlines and short blurbs.

I know what you mean. Most of my English professors though preferred Times New Roman. I told my college English professor that maybe more people would be interested in her class if they were allowed to write about what they want and use the font they want. Needless to say she didn't care for that and told me I was an idiot. Well to prove her wrong I tested out of her class with a 98%.

#58, your suggestion about allowing more freedom in choosing the subject matter as a way to boost interest is a reasonably clever one. I do have to agree with your teacher that your idea connecting interest to font choice is idiotic. Hey, at least you're batting .500 :)
