Today, I went to my guidance counselor and told her how I'd been fascinated with space since I was 12, had read about the universe and everything, and how I want to be an astrologist when I grow up. She stared at me for a second, before saying, "But you're... stupid." FML

Your counselor probably had a point. If you were interested in space you would want to be an astronomer, not an astrologist.

uhhh #15 astronauts don't just "hop around" , also, this person could've meant an astrologists, since that has to do with stars, even though it's not scientific, or anything- this person could believe in it and maybe thats what they meant. And either way, the guidance counselor should have corrected them and not been such a jerk, everyone can screw up words. It doesn't make you an idiot.

Proper response: "Aww, dammit! Does that mean I have to be a guidance counselor now?"

Heheheh, you wouldn't stand a chance in astronomy...there's a lot of physics that you probably wouldn't be able to handle if you couldn't even get the difference between astrology and astronomy correct...

Well, that is the wrong career (there are no colleges for that, lol). But it's a pretty easy mistake. But a guidance counselor is supposed to be professional about it. That's messed up.

Mistake aside, your guidance counselor is a douche. I would report them for that. Just because guidance counselors are supposed to be there to help you with your problems, not completely crush your dreams. I bet if s/he did it to you s/he did it to someone else, too, which is not acceptable.

Um ... actually, you guys, astrologists DO think their work has to do with the cosmos. Just because you see it as "tripe" doesn't mean that the person who submitted this FML agrees with you. Have some respect, or you're no better than the counselor.

LOL! Thats funny, especially because it isnt an astrologist, its astronomer. That was my intended major in college. So if you really wanna be an astrologist, I would practice getting horoscopes right.

I'm calling bull here. Sorry, buddy, but the whole thing about Einstein getting bad grades, being called retarded, etc, is an urban myth. Although people didn't realize just how intelligent he was growing up, he was never believed to be mentally challenged. (This surprised me, too, but learning about the lies they told you in elementary-high school is part of being a history major.)

@ #24- It was a reference to another thing here on FML where someone called a train driver the "constructor" and everyone made fun of her :p
