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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." 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 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 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
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 was supposed to hear back from a major scholarship competition. After months of waiting, during which my parents were convinced I had won, I discovered that my entry had never been received. Apparently the woman I had confirmed with had had a long day, and lied so that she could go home. FML
Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML
Today, I received a rejection letter from a college that I'd applied to 6 years ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#185 is a ******* idiot. This is in no way the op's fault. His dad stole his mail, never told him about it, and now he cannot go to the college he wanted to attend?? Of course, I mean, why can't the op be physic like we are and know when all of his mail will arrive and what it says exactly. Why didn't the OP automatically assume his father had it all along- i mean that's what everyone of use would have done, right? /sarcasm people who say it's the op's fault deserve to be shot.

"You're growing up and have to start taking some responsibility for your life! I'm entering college too. YDI." You do realize taking people's mail and stealing it from them is a serious crime? So, why on Earth would this guy be any different, just because he's entering college? Get real. Someone stole his mail and apparently, it's the original poster who has to take responsibility..... That's like saying: "it's your fault if I steal your bills and you have to pay all the late fees; you should'vejust checked the company to see if it's been paid duuuuuuuuuuuuh!!!" Your opinion is childish and obviously misguided. You have some growing up to do.
