Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. FML

Today, I applied for college graduation. Turns out my advisor screwed me over and now I'm 1 credit hour short of getting my degree. Now I have to wait another semester and pay $3,500 just to take a one hour class on Bowling so that I can graduate. FML

Today, I found out that my writing teacher entered in one of my paper grades wrong. After many emails, she said she can't change my grade unless I fax her the original. I need that grade fixed so I can keep my scholarship. I can’t find the paper anywhere. That one paper could cost me $30,000. FML

Today, when I selected my classes last semester, I could have taken my required-to-graduate foreign language classes on something doable like Spanish. Instead, not knowing what I was getting into, I selected Classical Greek. It's too late to change my language and my uninformed choice is going to cost me my degree. FML

How did you manage that? Did you not attend the class at all to write a whole 30pages paper on something else? No seriously how did you manage that?

I don't know what good another semester will do -- you can't fix stupid.

She took the wrong class, not the wrong topic. Which means she probably checked the overall requirements for graduating and picked a class which provides the wrong credits. Depending on how difficult her university syllabus is written, it's unfortunately not so hard to mix these up.
