Today, in my architecture class, my professor's lecture consisted of a list of movies and books which feature characters who are architects. I couldn't leave because I needed the attendance points, and it lasted 45 minutes. I paid out of state tuition for this. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my professor spent the entire class showing us how to make paper airplanes. I pay over 40 grand a year for college. FML
Today, I drove to my college campus for my 8 a.m. class, parked, walked the mile and a half to my classroom, just to find out class had been cancelled. The prof didn't send an email because she couldn't remember her password. I paid $1200 to be taught by this woman, who has a doctorate. FML
Today, I had to go meet my professor at 12. I wound up showing up almost an hour late. Why? Because she doesn't teach at the campus I registered at. I wound up having to visit TWO different campuses before I reached the right one. FML
Today, my professor let a guy into my philosophy class 30 minutes late because his excuse was, "Time is just an illusion." This is the same professor that kicked me out of the classroom for being 2 minutes late. FML
Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML
Today, I drove 3 hours to get to a class, just to have the professor leave a note on the classroom door saying that she wasn't coming. FML
Today, I found out that I have to take a weekly workshop outside of class time all semester, and it's only offered on the day I have the most work hours. I barely make ends meet as it is, but the professor said to figure it out or fail. FML
Today, we watched a movie in class. Afterwards, the professor asked us what we thought. I raised my hand and said it was pretentious, dull and a really poor example of filmmaking. It was the movie HE spent five years writing and directing. FML
Today, I finally found out why I got a D in a class last semester. It was a heavily attendance-based class, and apparently he only marked you present if you participated in class discussion. It was a 100-seat lecture. FML
Today, I decided to show up to my new class an hour early, to be able to choose my seat, and figure out how the computer lab works… only to find out that the lab was locked and I had to wait until the professor unlocked it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Inception really challenges the mind, so you're probably getting your money's worth after all.

Does "The Architect" in The Matrix count? He built a whole world.

The Fountainhead had better be mentioned, the movie sucked though. The book Loving Frank, fabulous.

Yeah, that Howard Roark was one of the craziest bastards in literature. I took the Taliesin tour. The takeaway is that Frank Lloyd Wright was a genius and a prick.

I'm in a class for 4 hours listening to my teacher talk about things she doesn't know about. I have to learn everything on my own during and after class and I still don't do well since half the words aren't in the book we had to buy.

Seriously, as an architect who's only 5 years out of school, here's some advice: If you think that was a waste of your time, you're in the wrong profession-- that type of discussion doesn't end in the real world. Your professor knows what he's doing by giving that lecture!

What does America have to do with the Harlem Shake? It originated in Norway.

Considering that most of your college years will consist of building awesome dollhouses, this seems like one of the least wasteful activities you'll be doing. And if the money you are spending offends you, keep in mind you've chosen the lowest-paid profession.

(500) days of summer does! I love that movie... Common it's a bullshit class for one time, I think. Embrace it, you pass for doing nothing. Then again, you don't get any better but still...
