Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML
Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML
Today, we started building our dream house. Next to my parents-in-law. FML
Today, I discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML
Today, after 25 years of marriage, my parents decided to get a very nasty and extremely expensive divorce. Using my college tuition to pay for it. FML
Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML
Today, I bought my first house, blowing nearly all my savings on the deposit. I had left myself enough for just a couple of necessary bits of furniture. It turns out the previous owner completely stripped the house when he left, taking the oven and even the toilet with him, amongst other things. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML

Your parents are awesome for building that. Sucks they had to use your college funds though!

These posts always make me wonder when they say My college fund... If OP saved for it and indeed it is his money. He has a point. If his parents saved the money there is no "my fund" it's thiers to do with as they please. I had to save and pay for my own education (still paying for it actually years after finishing school) it motivated me more to pay attention and do well as I was paying for my own future.

As cool as that sounds...they shouldn't have used your college fund.

Well on the positive look for a job with the college/university sometimes they will pay your tuition if you keep your grades up

Sure the movie is great and what not, but it's just that, a movie!...you know what's really awesome, a college education.

At least the money went to a noble cause. A somewhat noble cause. FYL OP, but just be glad your parents didn't spend your money on an assload of YMCMB crap, or a lifetime supply of bubble wrap.
