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

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I received a rejection letter from a college that I'd applied to 6 years ago. FML
Today, I got 3 different rejection letters mailed to me from the same college. 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 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, 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 received another letter of rejection from the university of my dreams. I got it the first time, but thanks for reminding me. 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 received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML
Today, despite having glowing recommendations, stellar grades, and an impressive resumé, I was rejected by all 15 colleges that I applied to. No explanation or reasons have been given, and it's too late to apply to any more. FML
Today, I was walking with a friend to tell him how excited I was for college and even motivating him to apply for the same school, until I found out later that I got rejected. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I get the whole sibling rivalry thing, but your sister is a bitch.

When it's that time of the month for her, hide all of the pads and tampons in the house. She's gonna bloody regret messing with you :)

Well at least he did get accepted...

The main question in my mind is, "Why?" What the hell was her reason in doing all this? Was it because she hates him and wanted him to feel like the biggest failure in the world? Was she saving them to present all at once as some surprise? Was it a joke? I MUST KNOW!!!

I think his sister didn't want him to leave. I'm leaving soon for college also, and my little brother cries about it everyday!
liffagain 16
yea. but this is her OLDER sister. one would think she is mature enough to understand the limit. i'm guessing jealousy is a bigger problem here

Your sick, sadistic sister and my ******** abusive brother could be a match made in heaven.

Agreed, she is a b!tch.

Hit her with a shovel.

Time for sis to loose a tooth or two.

WOW. What the actual ****. I hope you taught her not to be such a ******* asshole, seriously, what a crummy thing to do to someone. Especially your own blood, and the fact that it took her a week to feel guilty enough to come forward just shows that you can't trust her as far as you can kick her. Whatta bitch. At least you got accepted OP!
shyeahh_fml 19
Waiting a week was definitely ridiculous. I'm not sure when this actually occurred, since the deadline to commit to a college is May 1st for most (all?) colleges in the US, but OP could have easily missed that deadline because of his/her sister. That'd be unforgivable.

Maybe she didn't want him to leave or maybe she feels inferior lol oh the little box is gonna get annoying.

Congrats! You're into college and your sister loves you so much she doesnt want you to leave.

That's a pretty messed up act of love then.
azyjazy713 11
Yea, but ppl do stupid stuff in the name of love all the time. Its still an fml cuz of the week long crying & rejection but it seems like it already turned out ok.

People who love each other don't hurt each other because of selfish needs. There's something wrong with people who consider that an act of love. This was ugly jealousy, pure and simple.

I was hoping this was sarcasm that didn't translate well
Simplyeatapples 15
Yeah.. I highly doubt that was the reason

On the bright side at least you got accepted to the colleges!! Bit mean your sister would do that, but hey sibling love is the greatest of them all! haha
laden_swallow09 35
"Love"? Helluva way of showing it.
9echo 17
Look at the bright side: six different colleges accepted you!
steve31789 8
Oh yes it is love!! I remember waking my brother up on a Saturday morning I take a shower at 6 AM to get ready for school. Gotta love your siblings!!

-.- I saw no grammatical errors. I have no idea why I got thumbed down. I was just stating what I was thinking. You know my opinion.....

#84, #7 was responding to #5's comment about hiding all of the menstrual things, and that the older sister could buy more instead of suffering. #5 also mentioned how you can't just buy legit college letters just because someone took the original ones without your knowledge. You on the other hand are talking about printing and reading an original and forge a rejected copy which is a little hard to understand, and somewhat irrelevant to what the above comment thread was talking about.

I love how u worded this lol
interesting33 37
that would not stop her for long. If you hid all the pads and tampons she could buy new ones, ask a friend for some, maybe get them free from some places or use an old rag or just toilet paper. You wrap it round the pants (UK English) and change when needed.. not great but good as a temporary fix.
interesting33 37
i don't get why you got thumbed down either really.. and it sounds like the sister did forge the rejection letters
cmac86 24
that sounds a little messy.

Wow not cool. I can understand sibling rivalry, but that's taking it a bit far- jealousy is a cold hearted bitch
