Today, our midterm exams were returned in my urban politics class. I had studied hard and scored 86%. The blonde girl next to me got a 92. Earlier in the semester she had asked me what state Detroit was in. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I asked my classmate if she was ready for the final tomorrow and she said it was yesterday. I'm not a bad student - I have 90+ average in the class - but the final was 50% of my grade. FML
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I got the best grade in class on my economics midterm. Rather than tell me I did a good job, my professor criticized me in front of everyone about how I was working "too hard". FML
Today, I got my first university math midterm back. I did so bad that my teacher put a sadface on the first page. FML
Today, I found out I got a 97 on my physics final exam. I was curious about the question I missed, so I went up to my teacher and asked. He was very confused and checked my grade again before telling me, "Oh my bad, it was meant to be a 79." FML
Today, my friend asked me how I did on my test. I got an 85%. She asked me what my secret was, and I said, "I'm just smart." She replied, "No you're not. How did you pull it off?" FML
Today, I discovered that when my professor had said "For every A there will be an F," he was deadly serious. I earned a 94% mark, which in this class is known as a D. FML
Today, I finished an exam in physics class. It counts for 40% of our grade. As I handed my paper in to my teacher, she said to the whole class while talking about me, "You did this wrong; this isn't how you do it." FML
Today, I had my final economics exam, and needed to ace it, or else I would fail the entire module. After studying all day yesterday, and pulling an all-nighter today, I managed to pull it off and get a perfect score. Unfortunately, my teacher didn't believe that it was possible, and accused me of cheating. Now I may be thrown out of college. FML
Today, my math teacher brought his laptop to tally up all our scores for our report card. He then displayed the results on a big screen in front of the whole class. The ones who failed were marked yellow. I was the only one marked yellow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

it's cute how everyone's defending the blonde girl, as if not knowing where Detroit is seems perfectly acceptable. how sad people. stupidity is so widely accepted now-a-days.

Since when does lack of knowledge necessarily equate with stupidity? If we're going with actual definitions of words...this FML only shows that she'd be ignorant, not stupid; ignorance has to do with a lack of knowledge, whereas stupidity concerns lack of cognitive ability. And it wouldn't even be complete ignorance. We only know that she's ignorant of the location of Detroit. Besides the facts that: she either lacks melatonin or has dyed her hair; is in Urban Politics; sat next to a guy from Wisconsin; and has managed to get a 92% on a test...we don't know anything else about her. It would be unwise to assume that she is stupid. Most people have something that they don't know which is supposed to be "general knowledge." I know I do (until this FML, the location of Detroit was one of them), and I'm sure you do. Unless you fancy yourself a know-it-all, in which case I would suggest that you take a closer look at yourself. "The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know." ~David T. Freeman

I don't understand why everyone is assuming the girl is dumb, just because she's blonde. Talk about stereotyping! I'm blonde and I'm not dumb, though I'm not a genius either. The thing is, Geography might not be her strong point. She's obviously very good at Urban Politics, but she can't be good at everything, can she?

Are you people serious? Not knowing the location of a city does not indicate stupidity, regardless of where you live in relation to the city in question. You cannot possibly measure intelligence based on the knowledge or ignorance of ANY fact, no matter how important, commonly known, or relevant it is. Unless there's some sort of checklist that you must run through before being considered "smart." I imagine it would go something like this: 1. Vote for Democrats. 2. Puff out your chest and constantly remind others of their inferior intellect. 3. Know the location of Detroit.

She must have worked hard and studied since asking that question. What were you doing? You shouldn't be pissed that she worked hard to do well. You should be pissed at yourself for not working hard enough.
