Today, marks my fifth day being an English teacher's assistant. I spent it like the other four days: grading and editing terrible Teen Wolf, One Direction and Doctor Who high school fan-fiction. Six months until I get out of here. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, during a regular checkup at the dentist, I got a wisdom tooth pulled out which resulted in me looking like a fat hamster. Tomorrow is my first day as an English teacher in high school. FML
Today, the Chinese student I've been teaching English to got on stage in front of hundreds of people to read her final essay. She ended with, "What a fucking day." I don't swear, and I no longer have a job. FML
Today, I've been sick for five days and I have two college essays and a exam coming up, along with a few other assignments. I've been working non-stop for five days with less than six hours of sleep per day, and more assignments are flowing in as I am working. FML
Today, my teacher said that since I was sick last week, I had to do all the work that the others had done, which I didn't know about because no one said anything about it. So now I've got to watch a total of 5 hours-worth of documentaries, and write analysis of them. Before tomorrow. FML
Today, I was hired as a student assistant. I was excited, until I learned on my very first day that "Supporting the academic staff in their research" actually meant walking the professor's dog. FML
Today, my parents got a call from my English teacher. She told them that I have 14 days of detention because I've been cutting class. I've been there every day, but apparently she never noticed me. FML
Today, I had 15 teenagers literally laugh in my face when I asked them to be quiet. I'm a student teaching in a high school, which is the culmination of 2 years of my life and $20,000, and I might in fact actually hate doing it. FML
Today, it was the last day of school. My students shared what they thought of me. Expecting to hear wonderful things, all of their complaints can be summed up in a few words: I'm a liar, a killer of dreams, I need to grow up, and I was a big disappointment to them. I'm a first-year teacher. FML
Today, I kissed my 3.5 GPA goodbye because my English teacher was too caught up planning her parrot's birthday party to put in the credit I deserve for three different essays I completed for her class. FML
Today, I realized some of my English students have just been going to their Philosophy professor to help them complete their essays. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Good luck with reading stories that start all innocent, cute and lovely... And always end with gay sex :)

talk to the teacher you are TA'ing for. suggest not allowing fan-fiction since it stunts creativity. all my english/writing teachers in high school AND college would fail an assignment if it was fan fiction.

These don't sound like AP students... Your fault for choosing to work with morons

You don't like Doctor who? I understand that people don't like 1D but Doctor who?

Teen Wolf? Why would teenagers be writing fan fiction about movies from the 80s?

I would hope it's not all terrible. There has to be at least a couple good ones in there.

Omg fan fiction is by far the lowest form of literature..... this would have to be the worst fml I've seen here. I truly am sorry

Fan fiction isn't really that bad. Maybe you like to write your story from scratch but fan fictions can be pretty interesting and funny and some of them are actually pretty great.

what's wrong with doctor who?

if I wrote a 1D fanfic it would be pretty good because I'm okay at writing. I always get the best marks in class
