Miscellaneous: Can't afford this shit

Can't afford this shit

By guamfml - 03/06/2009 00:10 - Guam

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML

Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML

Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML

Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML

Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML

Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML

Today, I was supposed to hear back from a major scholarship competition. After months of waiting, during which my parents were convinced I had won, I discovered that my entry had never been received. Apparently the woman I had confirmed with had had a long day, and lied so that she could go home. FML

Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML

That's f*ed up! Is messing with someone's mail really a federal offense, or is that just an urban legend? ... just something you might look into...

I'd have been so mad. Did your dad do it on purpose? FYL. (P.S. Why does it take me so long for my comment to finally post? It's getting annoying as **** clicking "Spill the Beans!" 50 times before it posting.)

So many FMLs like this, yawn. Even if it was real, which it probably isn't, it shouldn't be submitted

That's messed up. Sounds like daddy wants to keep you home or is hoping you will attend somewhere else.

@43 Messing with mail is indeed a federal offense. The USPS is a federal agency, and you're interfering with it performing its duties. Also, I call bullshit. Colleges willing to give you $60-$80K (maybe even more now) always follow up with phone calls, email, etc...
