Today, I celebrated my birthday. When asked last week, I said I wanted a keyboard. When I opened the present, my parents went into hysterics. It was an electronic Dora the Explorer keyboard. I've been studying music composition and theory for six years. They think my major's a joke. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had dinner with my family in celebration of my 19th Birthday. I've been hinting that I need a new laptop for months now and I was sure my family had bought me one. I have got a pair of slipper socks. FML
Today, the whole family came over to celebrate my 18th birthday. My grandfather bought me a giant mathematics book. Apparently, he didn't want my 16 year old sister to be "jealous", so he got her the new iPad. FML
Today, was my 16th birthday. Needless to say, I was delighted when my friends presented me with a birthday card in a homeroom. I pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Aw, you guys really shouldn't have!" They didn't. It was our teacher's birthday. They just wanted me to sign the card. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I got a graphing calculator and my period. FML
Today, my extremely loud and nocturnal flatmate phoned me to tell me excitedly that he got an accordion for his birthday. FML
Today, my parents bought my 11-year-old brother a MacBook for my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML
Today, my parents gave me my birthday present. Two weeks ago, I'd ordered an Xbox online. Three days ago, it came to my house, and my parents thought they could save money by putting wrapping paper on it, and giving it to me for my birthday. That's all they got me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wah waaah they think your useless major is a joke.. You poor child, your parents want you to make something of yourself instead of going to school for years to just end up being a music teacher..

They should have gotten you a nice logitech keyboard instead. At least that's useful.

#159 Actually, no OP couldn't be a doctor. That usually takes at least 8 years.

Your major *is* a joke, and frankly I'm amazed your parents have paid for six years of it. The "Dora" keyboard was a genius move, and I'd guess they're finally getting tired of your BS.

i think its halirious how everyone is being such a dick to her for taking music. But you don't think the people on your ipod or on MTV are lame. this is how people start out. take a look at yourself. your being hypocrites.

For every 1 person who "made it" onto my iPod or MTV, there are another thousand who didn't. Anyone who actually *expects* to make a career out of music, to the exclusion of studying and learning any actual useful skills, is an idiot.
