Today, my university's dorms closed due to COVID-19 and when I asked my parents if I could stay with them, they said no because, "we're social distancing." They weren't joking, I have nobody else to stay with. I'm now legitimately living in a tent under a bridge until this pandemic ends. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I live in a college residence with 30 other girls in Ireland. One of them just got COVID, and we can't ask the landlord for much help because he just got Malaria. FML
Today, I found out my dad got Covid after spending the weekend at home. All my classes have me doing final projects, and my dorm's internet is a dumpster fire. FML
Today, I was caught up in an armed robbery and after talking to the cops, my boss cut my pay for being 2 hours late. After I trudged home and told my parents, they are now forcing me to sleep in a tent in the garden, just in case the robber gave me COVID. FML
Today, I had to stop going to university with 2 years left because my parents feel it's not the right course for me. I am 23 years-old, living with my parents, $2 to my name and no job. FML
Today, I was disowned in my family because of the pandemic, after I refused to quit my job and live at my parents house, with them supporting my family, so now no one in my family has acknowledged my existence since August 2020. FML
Today, I live in dorms and found out everyone is leaving for Christmas break. I also found out my student loan didn't go through, so now I cant afford to go visit my family that lives over 7 hours away. I guess I'll be spending Christmas alone in a dorm room. FML
Today, my tiny apartment flooded. My family lives out of state and the few friends I have all gave me B.S. excuses for why I can't stay over for a few nights. I'm so broke this month that I'll probably have to hit up my psycho ex. FML
Today, I moved in with my parents because I can't afford to live on my own. I now pay 100% of the bills and can't leave because I can't save to replace my stolen/totaled car. I also can't drop my mask at home because 33 is apparently to old to be autistic, and I'm so tired and burnt out. I'm also not allowed to sleep. FML
Today, my wife asked me for a divorce, shortly after I found out she's been having an affair. Then our county placed us on quarantine for Covid-19. Now I'm stuck living with her until it goes away. FML
Today, I found out I can’t get in-state tuition at my college, all because I’m under 24 and considered a "dependent" student; therefore my parents must prove state residency on my behalf. I lost both my parents to COVID last year. FML

Home is still your permanent address. They cannot evict you without legal notice that usually requires 60 days.

How many college students do you know that can afford to live in a hotel for weeks on end? Even with discounted weekly rates?

Wow! I'm sorry about that. Could you try talking to them again? Maybe they didn't notice that their "no" meant you would go homeless for the period. Meanwhile, you could try and contact your university. Here where I live, the university's dorms and restaurants also closed down - but the colleges are helping out the economic vulnerable people (you need to subscribe to receive the aid and show documentation proving your status). Anyway, wish you all the best!

Remind your parents that you are likely to pick their nursing homes. There are many horrible ones out there that will make their last years hellish, and preserve more of your inheritance.

Seeing as how op is in college their parents are old and more susceptible to getting covid. Like my 51 year old father. Op could be a carrier and not have any symptoms so...they’re just ass out like other people

Yes, my child living on the streets sounds preferable than to take a slight risk. Screw them, right?

I’d definitely say talk to your university. Many have programs to help students misplaced by the virus right now. Start with reaching out to your RA or residence hall director (if you don’t have their info it should be online somewhere).

Obvious answer is move your tent to their yard.
