Today, my mother found out about the psychology exam I have to take tomorrow. Before leaving for her vacation this morning, she grabbed the internet router and took it with her to "get rid of distractions". I have one day to figure out how to access this online exam without Internet. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my neighbor finally password-protected his wifi. Right in the middle of my timed, online exam. FML
Today, my landlady cut off the Internet to my flat. She says she has no use for it, and doesn't want to keep it anymore. I have 3 online assignments due in the next week, and finals the following week. FML
Today, my mom texted me in the middle of my end of term math exam, saying it was extremely urgent and needed me to come home ASAP. While skipping my exam, I finally got home to find out my mom forgot what the emergency was. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she'd seen my financial calculator on my way out to an exam. She told me she'd tossed it in the donation pile that she'd taken to the Salvation Army this morning because it was "clutter." I needed it to take an exam required to pass the class, to graduate next month. The only place to buy a replacement was closed. FML
Today, I missed my history exam because they'd changed the day. Apparently they sent out an email to let everyone know. Too bad I'd banned myself from the internet in order to study for the exam. 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, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML
Today, I asked my mom to help my daughter with Zoom school while I handled an emergency. When I got back, I found out my mom went through my laptop containing all my documents, my emails and even the journal my therapist suggested I keep. She says she was looking for a Zoom link. Yeah right. FML
Today, my mom found out that I’ve been faking my exam grades, turning my 30s to 80s and 40s to 90s on the paper exams. She got access to my online student portal and saw my real grades. I'm grounded for the rest of the school year. FML
Today, I found out that yesterday's exam, which I left almost blank, had been leaked 3 hours prior. I hadn't been able to see it because my phone was out of juice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hate it when parents do shit like that. Like its not the 1980s anymore. these days a lot of schools heavily depend on the Internet and we need it for exams, studying, assignments, etc. People rarely use books to study anymore.

Books? What's a book? I've never heard of such a thing...

Yea, all the lectures for my classes were online so all my studying was too.

You do realize OP could just be using their phone to post this and not use a computer?

still would need Internet for the app unless you have good reception at home (which I don't)

I'm literally on this app without internet. It's data.

#38, My router is broken, so I am using my mobile data. What a concept.

So. Many. Solutions. I highly doubt OP couldn't come up with these on his/her own. But it adds up to the fun/dramatic-factor of the FML. Very cute how everybody is thinking along and coming up with possible ways to solve this 'problem'. @OP: It sucks you won't have internet until your mom gets back, though. At least you have whatever you're posting this FML with.

Why don't you just buy a new router. They're not that expensive and I know it's a waste because you already have one but it's better than failing/missing an exam because your mobile data stops working half way.

Okay I've read lots of these fml's and I always ALWAYS get this question popped into my head: do these guys ever explain ANYTHING to them before this stuff happens?!

Library? You know, the place with books and wifi?

She just took the router, so you can connect directly to your computer and problem solved. You know what routers are for , right?

LIBRARY! If it's a public library and that have a time limit, tell the it's for an exam so you don't get interrupted.
