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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

I didn't know either.. =/ But I'm Australian, so that's kind of excusable? D:

Well, maybe she's one of those really smart people that doesn't need to work their ass off to get a good grade. I'm a lot like that. And maybe the whole Detroit thing was a fault in common sense.

i'm a blonde and don't appreciate that comment! some people are just geographically challenged...i mean, if she's from america and doesn't know where detroit is that's a LITTLE scary, but not unforgivable. and her being blonde has NOTHING to do with it.

A) I have one of the highest GPAs in my engineering program and I don't know where Detroit is (I'm not from the States though). B) You got an 86. That's a *good* mark. Six points higher (92) is really not going to make much of a difference in your mark.

I have a 4.0 and I am not sure where detroit is. :X

Please tell me you go to school in Michigan. That would just make it ten times better.

Just because she's blonde doesn't make her dumb. I'm blonde and graduated with an engineering degree from one of the top engineering schools in the country. I now have a job at an engineering firm that is ranked number 1 in the world for what I do. And i have been known to make my share of "dumb blodne" comments. So op get over yourself. She's probably smarter than you and just had a "blonde" moment!

I'm with you - natural blonde and went to an Ivy League university, then got in everywhere I applied to one of the hardest graduate programs in the country, where I'm now top of my class with a 4.0. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people out there who don't fit into that "dumb blonde" stereotype, so the OP needs to stop being a condescending/judgemental dick. Maybe if he spent less time worrying about whether or not other people were smarter/better test-takers than he is, he could study more and be happier with his grades?

#68, Perhaps you missed the bit which said "Earlier in the semester she had asked me what state Detroit was in."

and #70, you've never had a moment where you just blanked on something simple and asked a dumb question? Unless she's asking questions like that every day, it really means nothing about her actual intelligence level. And still has nothing to do with her being blonde.

I am a natural blonde, who performs VERY well in school, and I will agree, I'm kind of sick of this stereotype. With that being said, my guess is that the OP was trying to get across, in a very small amount of space, how dumb he has perceived this girl to be. There may have been other instances like the Detroit example which were less forgivable, and by talking about her blonde hair he was probably trying to recall the stereotypical, ditzy, dumb-blonde girls who certainly exist -- I've met them. My guess is that the OP didn't intend any offense so much as he was trying to get a point across. Or I could be wrong. Still, he could have phrased it better.

So you're saying you perform well?

Maybe she worked hard for the rest of the year?

just because she is blonde doesn't mean she is incapable of a) studying hard or b) being naturally talented. your preconcieved notion that all blondes are stupid is completely false. do some research and get a life. k thanks bye.
