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?

Thats a perfectly good question to ask maybe she just didn't know. That doesn't mean she is dumb for asking a question like that.

What? Any American with a basic knowledge of geography should know what state Detroit is in. Being remotely aware of current National events would clue someone into that, since it's in the news all the time.

OP you shouldnt be mad just because someone did better than you. its ur fault that u didnt do better. and FYI im a blonde and i have a 5.0 so dont hate on blondes. oh and i ask stupid questions all the time and im guessing you do too. so u shouldnt judge on hair color and one little question someone asked.

She is sleeping with the teacher.

Urban politics =/= geography. How is that an /implied/ stupid question, anyways? She may have never been taught- typically people do just say 'Detroit', and don't really mention the 'Michigan' bit, you know. Also, what does being blonde have to do with anything? She studied. She got a good score. You studied, you got a lesser, but still good, score. Suck it up, and shut the **** up. "All these smart blondes commenting are probably rich as well. " I'm intelligent, I'm blonde... and I'm poor as ****. I've never had a day of tutoring. It's called being born with a brain... and being born with a certain hair colour doesn't affect your brain whatsoever.

YDI for needing to study "really hard" to get an 86 on a test in urban Politics. Why don't you take a real course.

You remember that she asked where's Detroit? Little bits like these slip often, and it's annoying. But she's probably smarter than you first thought. Answer to mysteries like these: talk to her, especially if no one else does.

OP should've seized the moment and said " Detroit is in my pants"
