Today, after two years of vigorously fundraising on behalf of my senior class, they voted on spending the senior trip money at a waterpark. It's less than thirty minutes from where we all live. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went for a soak in a mineral hot pool to relax after a stressful day teaching middle school. There were 120 middle schoolers there on a school trip. FML
Today, after planning 4 months in advance and spending almost $600 to cover everyone's tickets to the event center, all of my siblings decided to bail on my 30th birthday celebration because driving 3 hours is too much. FML
Today, it was our class field trip. I got five dollars from ten different people because they wanted me to sit away from them. FML
Today, my friends and I planned to go to a waterpark together. However, due to a "miscommunication," I, and only I, was given both the wrong time and the wrong meeting place. I spent three hours sitting in a parking lot in little more than my swimming suit. FML
Today, I spent 65 dollars in cab fare and skipped half of my grade 12 classes, including a unit test, to see my girlfriend on our two year anniversary. I arrived just in time to see her kiss her other boyfriend of over a year good bye. FML
Today, I came home after spending the past two months at summer camp, just for my parents to excitedly announce that I'm going to be spending the next two weeks in Florida with my grandma. We have to leave in literally a couple hours. FML
Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML
Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML
Today, I graduated from Basic Training. I was really looking forward to seeing my family after being away for almost three months. They decided not to come to graduation because they didn't want to spend the money to travel here. They live 30 minutes away. FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

On the bright side, maybe it'll look good to colleges. :)

How will that look good to colleges? They don't even look at your senior trip.
MistySky 17
Fact that she put effort to a cause?

I'm pretty sure #1 wasn't referring to the trip itself, but all the fundraising OP did. I swear to god, you people make me question the intelligence of mankind.

Did anyone ever tell you that you have a fivehead? I mean, you look like the red queen from Alice in wonderland!

For raising money vigorously for two years... no, it's not.

3, you have to take into consideration the fact that all the time fundraising could have been put to something exciting, not a place that's around the corner, figuratively speaking. Say you have a birthday and you want to go out to eat. You don't go for McDonald's, right? Not for a place that will be there any other time. You go somewhere exquisite and out-of-the-ordinary. Same with how OP feels.. :)

Emily has a bigger forehead than me. And my hairline is receding...

113- Sure, be an asshole to me. At least it might make you feel better about yourself, and your hairline.. You know, just because you don't know me, doesn't mean I'm not a person too. Thank you.

Too bad lesbians only exist in fiction.

Lesbians are real, you just have to believe.

So the conclusion is: lesbians are unicorns? Damn strap ons who look like a horn.. .

Well that was a complete waste of time :/

It's not all about you OP haha. Just kidding but water parks are fun

Well does it really matter where it is, as long as everyone has a great time together one last time? Maybe the leftover money could go to some school program that needs it.

It depends on what type of trip OP was expecting/promised. Our final-year trip was meant to be an overseas trip to France. But the teachers conveniently "forgot" to book tickets, so we were stuck going to a lousy camping ground that was an hour's drive from the school :(

It's more like a field trip if it's 30 min away. You'd think they'd have a little more ambition for their class trip.

Am I the only one who didn't have a senior trip? We did trips in middle school but none in high school.

OP's name... Irrelevant, but hah.
