Today, my professor informed me that if I didn't "show more commitment" to my choral ensemble he would give my spot to a "more interested young woman." I missed class to see my neurologist. Apparently my seizures are a symptom of lack of commitment. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I had a seizure in class. Being an epileptic, I had warned my professor of the possibility that I could have one in class. She was understanding and seemed very concerned about my issue at the time. After I had the seizure, however, she asked me if I had ever tried exorcism. FML
Today, I had a seizure for the first time in months. My fiancé went over to my job to let them know I wouldn't be going in. My boss bitched both of us because I didn't call myself. Sure, I'll get right on that when I'm conscious. FML
Today, I tried to explain to my professor why I’d missed two classes. Even with a doctor’s note explaining my very serious health issues, she rolled her eyes and huffed, "Maybe if you’re ‘oh so sick,’ you should just drop out!” Gee, sorry for trying to improve my life through adversity. FML
Today, I told my professor that I'll be missing class next week due to upcoming surgery. I asked if I could take the exam that I'd otherwise miss another day. He said no, and that I'd just have to take a failing grade, then wished me luck with the surgery. FML
Today, my piano teacher told me that she "forgot" to inform me that she volunteered me to play a 5-page song in a recital in front of 300 people that's happening next week. FML
Today, I performed in my school's choir concert. The girl next to me started to pass out, and I grabbed her so she wouldn't hit her head. After we were done performing and the curtains closed, my choir teacher dragged me off stage and said I was getting an F for "creating a distraction". FML
Today, I explained to my teacher that I wasn't at school yesterday due to three doctor appointments for my moderate epilepsy. Yesterday was senior skip day. She gave me detention for lying. FML
Today, my professor gave me a huge lecture in front of the class about showing up sick, about how I was endangering the lives of other students, and kicked me out of class. As I left, everyone applauded. I'm not sick, but suffering for horrible allergies. FML
Today, I found out that I'm failing this semester because I've missed too many classes. I've missed the classes because I've been having panic attacks, a symptom of my anxiety disorder. I got the anxiety disorder because I was so afraid of failing school. FML
Today, my college class has a strict rule that ANY absence, even if it's because you're sick and have a doctor's note, will drop your grade a letter grade. I have a chronic illness. Today is the second time in the first two weeks that I've had to show up to class with a bucket. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell me about it! In my drama group there was a girl whose leg was broken by another bitch who was in our group. The girl whose leg was broken came back as soon as possible and started dancing again, but the bitch got her part instead. The girl with the broken leg only missed 3 sessions and the show wasn't for a month!!!

Dang, that sucks. I'm sure your professor's holding a stack of quarters up his ass or something. I don't see why choir trumps health...I guess all performing arts teachers are like that because the band directors at my school flip out if you tell them you have to miss practice, even if you do it weeks in advance. I hope you can stay in choir and your professor gets fired. Hopefully he doesn't have tenure.

Do you by any chance go to Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC? This sounds like something they would totally do.

Hey hey hey. Wtf seizures are nothing to mess with at all and neither is epilepsy. Since both are the same and entail the same. Ive been taking meds for my seizures since the day I turned 14 ive had 10 seizures total. All different years and different ages as well. It sucks. Mine are focal seizures which means they are staring seizures. I black out so I don't remember much and my mind is all foggy. Anyhow what im saying here is your professor sounds like a jerk. You should report him to the board of admissions for being a careless person
