Today, my parents decided they won't pay for college because of a Fox News story that said higher education "makes you liberal." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my parents threatened to take away my college funds. Why? Because I complained about my 10 pm curfew during break as a freshman in college. 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, I discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML
Today, I was offered a job that pays far more than I expected, being a high school senior. My parents decided they aren't letting me take the job, saying I should enjoy my childhood. They're also not paying for my college, which is why I was looking for work in the first place. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML
Today, I found out that not only does my sister consider Fox News "reliable" but her husband has been buying Trump merchandise. They owe me $1,900 but they're literally giving a millionaire money instead of me. FML
Today, I told my conservative friends over dinner that I was a bit of a liberal. They then went off on me about how liberals are lazy, stupid, and a financial burden on society. I was the only employed person at the table with a college degree and not living with my parents. FML
Today, I discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Going to college doesn't make you liberal, it makes you smarter and more prepared in the world. Your parents are really ignorant

Fox are idiots, they just implied that Liberal people are highly educated. They're right for once; their right wing nazi-fest is for retards.

If it wasn't filled w/ complete airheads, I may have sat through at least one episode. Meh, I'm more of a TLC/NatGeo/Discovery/TruTv sorta' chick.

No. number 132, the liberals are just so stupid that fox news points it out and it looks like they are pro republican. They have plenty of democratic speakers on there, you just don't realize it.

Global warming is real, ignorant people choose to believe otherwise. Fox news is a joke and everyone knows it. Education is whatever you make of it. What does LIBERAL mean? Openminded? Broadminded? Activist? All of the above, and nothing is wrong with any of that. However, to prove Fox are a bunch of, uneducated people themselves, most all of my friends went to college and none of them, believe it or not, came out with different political beliefs. They came out, educated. I would rather be liberal then republican. Also, whomever is stating you must have a college degree to make a decent or even above average amount of money has clearly never walked in my shoes. It's called a résumé. You know work EXPERIENCE.

If you want to make yourself seem smart by using "whomever," you should be sure you're actually using it right.
