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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

I love living less than 6 miles from Detroit. The people are so easy to scam.

We all know that Detroit is the capital of Birmingham, but what I want to know is, was she hot?

The simple fact is good grade does not equate with an smart person. This isn't really a FML as a grade doesn't necessarily tell how smart someone really is. She could have gotten lucky if it was multiple choice. Or some teachers ask verbatim what they say in class so she could have easily memorized that. So don't take it too hard. You'll quickly find that in your first "real" job interview, you best throw out all your good grades and instead bring to the interview actual knowledge.

Why is it important to mention that she's blonde? I mean... "ditzy," "airheaded," or "stupid" would have been good adjectives. That's as dumb as saying "The Mexican girl next to me..." etc.

Unless it's to say "the mexican girl next to me got a perfect 100 on her spanish test when I had to study and work hard for my 92" :D

Being blonde doesn't mean they're stupid. The smartest person in my class is blonde..

It would be worse if you both lived in Michigan and she asked that. Maybe she was just having a brain fart moment and couldn't remember at the time where Detroit was. Be thankful you passed your midterm instead of criticizing someone who did better than you. I have a really hard time saying FYL because you passed, and you're a little bit condescending.

Blonde does not mean dumb. For that matter, red-head doesn't mean creepy, but that's off-topic. At least you didn't fail miserably.

so maybe she just didn't know what state it's in no problem. get over it you got a 80 and not a 0

So someone did better than you in a test. Shock horror. Why do you care? For all you know she may have actually studied. You sound like a jealous little kid. therefore YDI.

So, everyone forgets basic things sometimes. Not knowing where Detroit is doesn't automatically make someone stupid; haven't you ever asked a stupid question? And since it sounds like you are in a college class about politics, I doubt your test was on what state Detroit was in. Many people may be very smart and can know about all sorts of complicated things and then will have no clue about something like where Detroit is. And what does blonde even have to do with it? YDI just because you sound like a dick.
