Today, I was excited because I was going to get my college decisions back. I put all of the letters in order of my preference. Didn't get into my first choice. Denied from my second choice. Rejected from my third choice. Wait listed on my back-up. Accepted for a job at Target. 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 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 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, while despairing over having been rejected for my dream job, I received an email asking me to come back in for another interview. Then they called me to say they accidentally sent the email to all the applicants, and that they definitely aren't interested. FML

Today, I eagerly applied for a high-salary, fully supportive graduate program that I qualified for. There were 5 steps in the application process. I was turned down after the first one. FML

Today, my mom called and told me I got accepted to my first-choice college. I got really excited and asked her to read me the letter. As she started to read it, she said, "Oops... uh, nevermind." FML

note to you... a back-up is supposed to be a school you're sure that you'll get into classic case of inflated head syndrome

You obviously overestimated your academic achievements. Don't feel sorry for you. Tough luck. Maybe community college is the way to go for you.

you got all your rejection letters on the same day? that's really creepy. the three acceptance letters I got all came on days weeks or months apart, and I applied for the schools all on the same day. Actually, I don't know anyone who got all their letters on the same day. weird.

Well there's lots of schools like community colleges that are open admissions, you can go there for 2 years and if you make good grades transfer into a four year university. and at least you got a job, which is a hard thing to get with the way the economy is.

I'm cracking up. Not at all at you, but at the fact that I read this aloud to my mother to which she replied "Jesus, did you write this one?" I have a long and sordid history with college woes and with Target. Buck up. Oh, and don't take the job at Food Ave. NOT worth it.

First of all, I had the same thing happen to me (sans job at Target). Don't work at Target and don't listen to those that tell you "a job at Target is a good thing" or those that say it's your fault. 1) It's not 2) The people saying that are probably those who could never dream of getting into any college without the word "community" in it I seriously applied in May to some school and waltzed right in... a top 50 school on US News. So seriously, try doing some late admissions at some universities... I did at UR and RPI and got into both. Then laugh at all those suckers up there when you waltz into a school that they couldn't even consider because they suck so bad. Good luck :) And to those arrogant fools up there that I just described.... serve me some fries. NOW!

I can't really relate...I got into all 4 schools I applied to this year. I don't know why people think getting a job at Target is so hard... I work at Target...have been there for 2 and half years. And I agree with number 43, FML about working at Target! It sucks!

I think this one is fake, since I used to work at Target as my first job like 9 months ago, and that is NOT how they hire. I declare shenanigans on this post!
