Today, I waited two hours in line at college to select my classes. I finally got to the desk, only to be told I have to apply online before I can show up in person. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to show up to my new class an hour early, to be able to choose my seat, and figure out how the computer lab works… only to find out that the lab was locked and I had to wait until the professor unlocked it. FML
Today, I had to go meet my professor at 12. I wound up showing up almost an hour late. Why? Because she doesn't teach at the campus I registered at. I wound up having to visit TWO different campuses before I reached the right one. FML
Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML
Today, the first day of school, I went to the book store to purchase my textbooks. Not only did I wait for 30 minutes, but they didn’t even have my books in stock. I was advised to visit another campus 45 minutes away. They didn’t have it either. I have assignments due already. FML
Today, I went to apply for classes at a college my parents signed me up to do dual credit with. Too bad they used my sister's social security number so I don't get credit for my old classes and my new application got thrown out. FML
Today, I found out I can't enroll in a course I need for my degree. I don't have the right prerequisites. They weren't posted anywhere. The applications for similar courses I could've taken instead have closed last week. I lost a year and a fuckton of money because I waited for the last minute, and now I can't get in. FML
Today, my college English teacher told me if I wanted an explanation for my grade I would have to schedule a conference to come to her office. It's an online class. I took an online class because I can't come in. 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, I finally got my ass into gear and went to the DMV to renew my driver's license. I waited in line for over two hours, only to find out that I had brought my library card instead of my license. FML
Today, using the money my mom gave me for my birthday, I bought a new laptop for school. When I went online to register for classes, I found that all the online classes were full and remaining classes didn't qualify for my major. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If college has taught me anything, it's that you always read the directions to everything.

So that is the reason you didn't go to college? Keep telling yourself that if it helps you feel better.

You really thought you could sign up for classes before getting in let alone applying to the school? Am I missing something? I thought that was pretty obvious

I'm wondering the same thing. The way it reads makes it sound as if OP has not even applied to the school yet. There is no way someone could think you could just walk up to any college and pick your classes, is there?

The college I went to, you had a choice of either choosing your classes at orientation or the week when you move into your dorm.

I was taking a lot of college courses in highschool. I was informed, given that I was commended on all my TAKS tests that I was automatically accepted into the local community college. I didn't realize it necessitated a formal process online, versus just filling out the info in person-which I thought would be better so I could ask questions on the paperwork.

Pretty much everything is done online now! even selecting your classes.

How are you going to reform a system that you are not involved in? The best opportunities for reform come from within... Plus, you can't reform something that you actually don't have a vast understanding of (which is difficult to gain if you've never actually been involved in that system).

There's nothing worse then waiting in seemingly never-ending lines. Except for finding out you did so in vain. Truly sucks . Hopefully you'll still be able to get the classes you wanted.

As an impatient person I know that has to suck. FYL. Hope you get your classes though
