Today, I went to my guidance counselor and told her how I'd been fascinated with space since I was 12, had read about the universe and everything, and how I want to be an astrologist when I grow up. She stared at me for a second, before saying, "But you're... stupid." FML

Today, my teacher told me that unless I went into medicine, math, or engineering, I would never amount to anything in life. This wasn't even two minutes after I told him I want to be an author. FML

Today, my high school guidance counselor tried to convince me NOT to go to college, mainly because it's been so long since someone from my high school went to college, that she got rid of all the college information she used to have. FML

Today, for the nth time, my father reminded me that I should study things related to the "real" world, as if I was studying theology, astrology or something. I'm studying for a master's degree in physics. FML

Today, my 9-year-old daughter was acting out and wouldn't do her homework. I told her that if she didn't study, she wouldn't get her acceptance letter from Hogwarts. She looked into my eyes, straight through to my soul and said, "Hogwarts isn't real, retard." FML

Today, I had a conference with my dad, my counselor, and my history and English teachers because my dad was "concerned" about my grades in those two classes. We talked for a while and it was going well, then my counselor asked what I wanted to study in college. I said I wanted to be a teacher. He laughed. FML

Today, I was participating in an activity to join a program which I really wanted to join. One of the teachers in charge seemed to notice my efforts and asked if I wanted to join the program. I said yes, thinking I had a chance. She laughed, shook her head before saying no and walking away. FML

Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML

Your counselor probably had a point. If you were interested in space you would want to be an astronomer, not an astrologist.

Wow, you are stupid. Astrology and Astronomy are not the same. Maybe you should read another couple books before getting to set on the wrong career path. And I agree with your counselor. Any ways, they're not there to make you feel all warm and fuzzy, they're there to throw you a reality check.

Astronomy is what you're talking about >< Stars, planets and stuff... Astrology (what you said) has to do with horoscopes...

I was going to say what #51 said. If you're fascinated by space, whatever man-made word it's called doesn't matter as much as the love of the cosmos. You'll learn the right word, but hopefully did not learn a disposition toward failure from your hilarious guidance counselor. Keep pursuing what you love. The geniuses that have changed the world and changed history have been some of the biggest doofs as well. Embrace it.
