Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, after months of living on five dollars a day for food in college, I found out my parents bought me an expensive meal plan and forgot to mention it. FML
Today, I found out my school's financial aid had a "misunderstanding" of my finances, I can no longer afford to pay half of my bills or pay for Christmas. FML
Today, I graduated from college and my parents gave me an apple. Not the computer, the fruit. FML
Today, for breakfast, I made a butter sandwich. I'm that broke. FML
Today, we have nearly no food in the house. My husband went shopping with the kids and returned with a sack of tomatoes. Time to make lunch. FML
Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML
Today, after it appeared my daughter was throwing away any vegetables in her school lunch, I packed her all vegetables so she would have to eat at least one. Nope! She threw them out and complained to school that "mommy doesn't feed" her. I got a call from the school. FML
Today, I’m so hungry. My parents only get food for my sister and I’ve been surviving on cheese sticks for the past week. I only have one left. I don’t get paid until next week. I’m so scared I’m gonna faint at the wheel instead of at home, where I’m usually able to sit down and get some water before I do. FML
Today, after being robbed last week, I had no money to go to the store for food. Instead, my dinner consisted of two Tums chewables in tropical fruit flavors. After not eating all day, I thought they actually tasted pretty good. FML

You need to increase your sauce of income somehow.

Garnish your Ramen noodles with it. Ramen is ******* delicious. Years of food for pocket change!

Everybody loves applesauce! Mmmm...applesauce, or if you don't want that try the dollar menu at various fast food places.

You lucky bastard! You still dare to complain when you have an applesauce for dinner! And I all get for today's dinner is soya sauce.

That suck's, but this isn't a "I GOT IT WORSE THAN YOU, HURR DURR" contest. Write an FML about it!

As a college student myself, I completely understand your pain. I'm averaging a single meal a day. And even then I'm mainly eating just plain pasta.

Rice and salsa, my college staple, $14 a gallon for salsa, $1 a kilo for bulk rice = $30 a month for food. Man I'm glad those days are long over.

Finally going to have some variety! Thank you for that, I think you may have saved my sanity.

Too bad you are not in the Netherlands. A guy there just made some beautiful pancakes. He could have given you some in exchange for applesauce. FYL all across the Atlantic mate.

Oh well don't fritter on the issue, I suggest you get on your McIntosh, find some good deals at Groupon or something, and after you've red delicious deals, make a move on one that sounds scrumptious. P.S. Staty away from Granny Smith. She's a mean ol' coot.

I usually don't criticize someone's comment because I know I have enough bad ones to go around. Seriously though, your comment was horrible and you completely failed at, what I think is, an attempt to be funny.
GoW_Chick 14
I think there might of been some puns in there, but I'm just not so sure since I didn't laugh...

Yeah, we should bash someone for actually trying to make a creative comment. I do prefer the "lol" "ur gay" "ur fat" comments.

Thanks boners, nice to know I try and someone at least sees an attempt better than you dumb idiot and haha FAIL
GoW_Chick 14
I don't think you're either dumb, or an idiot, it was a nice attempt, I've had awful attempts at trying to be funny, they were bad, don't worry about assholes like me bashing your comment, in the end the only thing that matters is that you liked your comment.

At least it's something. I wonder if the college diet is now going to consist of applesauce instead of ramen noodles... No, that would never happen.

If you bake 12 ounces of applesauce in the oven at 350 degrees for 26 minutes and it'll turn into a fillet mignon.

Kids don't try this at home!!!
