Today, my friend asked if she could come over to my place. Since it's my birthday tomorrow, I said sure. Turns out she just wants to copy all my notes for our upcoming exam. FML

Today, my friend told me she'd lost her notebook filled with crucial notes for our finals. She asked if she could borrow mine and copy my notes. She then lost my notebook too. FML

Today, after searching frantically for my economics notes for a week, I asked my friend to send me pictures of hers. I recognised my handwriting on the pictures she sent me and she admitted she'd "borrowed" them. The exam is in three days and she refuses to meet me and give my notes back. FML

Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML

Today, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. FML

Today, the cute guy in my class asked if I wanted to come over to his house to "study" on Saturday for our finals. I went to his house expecting a good time. He actually wanted to study. FML

Today, I was walking with my very attractive friend who I like a lot. She then told me that her roomate wouldn't be home tonight, and if I wanted, I could come over and study history. I didn't get it. I told her no thanks, that I was covered, and it was chem I needed to study. An hour later, I understood. FML

Today, one of my classmates asked the teacher to postpone her presentation because she had to study and the teacher happily agreed. When I approached her, the teacher started yelling at me because postponing deadlines is irresponsible. I just wanted to make sure we didn't need to bring our book. FML

Today, I finally got off my lazy ass and start studying for my upcoming exam. It was going pretty well, until my classmate called and after I proudly told him about my sudden motivation, the only thing he had to say was, "You got the date wrong, the exam was on thursday." FML

Today, my roommate told me that she was studying in the library. Turns out, she didn't feel like going to the library and just spent all afternoon studying in a friend's room because she didn't think I was capable of shutting up for long enough to get any work done. Our other friends agreed. FML

No, that's just a ruse, the clever girl! She's really planning a surprise birthday party for you! Which I just ruined...

So you thought she wanted to do something today for your birthday even though your birthday is tomorrow? Maybe you should wait a day before deciding how f'd your life is

The cynical person inside of me hopes that OPs friend truly has forgotten and only wants notes. Im just kidding. Thats a clever way to have a surprise party. And OP, if youre reading this comment, happy belated birthday

Maybe she has something planned. You never know, OP. Wait before judging. My family and I pretended to forget my mother's birthday but we planned a surprise party for her that evening.

How old are you? Many people stop putting emphasis on birthdays after high school. The big ones are 18, 21, and 30. Other than that, not everyone really cares about certain holidays or traditions. Expecting your friend to plan something for your birthday, or even make a big deal out of it, is asking a lot from some people. If you want to do something special for your birthday, then invite people out, let them know you want to have some fun, and go out and do things. Don't wait around for others to plan something for you.

I don't think he was expecting anything big, for example if my friend asked to hang out I would think he/she might want to celebrate with me, maybe a beer or two. Not hey I'm going to steal your notes. Unless this girl is not a close friend, then maybe she didn't know it's his birthday.
