Today, my book bag was so heavy that it set off my car's passenger detection system in the front seat. I had to buckle in my textbooks. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while I was driving out of the student parking lot I saw people laughing. Then the old security lady yelled for me to stop. She told me my books were on the top of my car but one had already fallen off. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw all of my school papers flying everywhere. FML
Today, I went to the bookstore. While I was in line, I heard everyone talking about how a book cart had gotten loose and rolled down the parking lot into a car, smashing the front. It was my car. FML
Today, as I was pulling out of the school parking lot I was blasting my music and feeling pretty awesome, I got a few honks and felt even cooler. Until some lady pulled up next to me and told me I had left my binder on the roof and all my papers were all over the road behind me. FML
Today, I took my binder on a short road trip two hours away from my home, so that I could study for my upcoming finals. When I got home, I realized I that had left my binder all the way there, containing my notes, classwork, homework, finals notes, etc. FML
Today, the air bag system in my car somehow malfunctioned, and the air bag inflated while I was driving, causing me to lose control and crash into a street light. I ended up with a badly bruised face because the air bag had already deflated by then. FML
Today, I got in the car with some friends, only to realize none of them were wearing seat belts. They heckled me until I took mine off, then the driver slammed on the brakes and I hit the dash. They'd all known it was coming and braced themselves. FML
Today, I was heading to class with all of my books and papers in my arms. To prevent tripping and falling down the stairs, I decided to take the elevator. On my way there, I slipped and fell because my books were blocking the wet floor sign. FML
Today, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. 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 drove into my school. Literally drove into my school. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

my bag in high school was about 20-25 lbs. and I would also have my trumpet across my back in a case. I had to walk to and from school almost two miles. at least it wasn't barefoot uphill in a foot of snow :p

22 you can save the textbooks on your actual computer as well or allow you retrieve what you bought if you lose/break/etc. the ereader. So yeah, as a student I prefer the ereader over textbooks (less weight, hassle, and lower fees). Sounds like a winning deal to me, my back, and my wallet!

Why is this a FML? Her bag was heavy, how does that get past the moderators?

We need a button that says "this is not an fml". Not sure if it's my school, but this happens to most of the people I know.

I guess I'm lucky my school only makes us carry textbooks twice a year: once in the beginning of the year to bring them home and again at the end of the year to give them back

I had that happen with 1 textbook when I was going through paramedic school. It weighted 25 lbs and was $500. That was one of 15 books. Luckily the others weren't nearly as expensive.
