Today, my first day of college, the textbooks I ordered a month in advance still haven't arrived. My first class of the semester is College Readiness. FML

Today, the first day of school, I went to the book store to purchase my textbooks. Not only did I wait for 30 minutes, but they didn’t even have my books in stock. I was advised to visit another campus 45 minutes away. They didn’t have it either. I have assignments due already. FML

Today, I started at a new college. I bought my textbooks and went to my first class only to find out that they changed my schedule without telling me. I'd already opened the book. I could not get $200 back. FML

Today, I bought my very first college textbook. I received a stack of hole-punched papers. My $195 "book" isn’t even bound together. FML

Today, after waiting two weeks for an email with my online textbook access code, it still hadn't arrived in time for my quiz tomorrow, so I ended up spending most of my money on the expensive physical copy. Not long after I got back home, the email finally arrived. FML

Today, I found out all six classes I'm taking have finals on the same day. This is my first semester in college. FML

Today, I waited two hours in line at college to select my classes. I finally got to the desk, only to be told I have to apply online before I can show up in person. FML

Today, I got up and walked to college for my only class which started at 9 a.m. after a night of restless sleep. Our exam is two weeks away, so I thought it would be better to attend. Apparently, my teacher thought differently. FML

Today, I accidentally left my textbook at home. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but today was my class final. Since it was an open-book final, I'd decided not to study for it. I'm pretty sure I failed. FML

Today, I moved into my university dorm a week before classes start. Everyone kept giving me weird looks as they watched me move my stuff in. Finally, one of my dorm mates asked me if I knew that school had actually started last week. I didn't. FML

In my Junior year, the bookstore couldn't get me a copy of an advance French book. I went to class without it and noticed a beautiful blonde girl sitting across the room as soon as I walked in the door. I walked across the room directly to her and asked if I could share her book. We've been married, well, for some time now. She's still beautiful. Make the best of it!

See of you can find these books online. I rarely buy any textbooks for any class, just simply Google: "textbook, edition number pdf"( but put in the title and edition of your textbook) and none of my professors seem to care. I have literally saved one thousand and 400 dollars doing this. Your welcome :)

On the bright side, you’re not wasting your time with a class where you already know everything. I hope they teach you about “Tracking Numbers” when you order books online.
