Today, I had a beautiful dream. I dreamed that I somehow got into Stanford University, but in class I couldn't keep up with them. In reality, I'm terrible at school. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that I'm not cut out for school when I flunked out… in my dreams. FML
Today, I got into my dream university. I also got turned down for the scholarship and the loan that would enable me to actually go. FML
Today, I forgot an important book for school, because I dreamt that I was putting it in my bag. My brain somehow classified it as reality. This isn't the first time my dreams have trolled me. FML
Today, my laziness reached an all-time high. I had a dream that I was at school and had spilled all the contents of my backpack onto the floor. I then purposely shook myself out of my sleep to avoid cleaning up the mess in my dream. FML
Today, I had a "nightmare" where I found out I had more homework than I originally realized, and spent the entire dream doing homework. There is no escape. FML
Today, my professor cancelled class so I turned off my alarm. When I woke up, I checked my email again. There was no email from my professor. It was a dream. FML
Today, I fell asleep after finishing my exam. I had a dream I was falling and woke up smashing my face on the desk. Everyone laughed. FML
Today, I went to college, where I'm studying for my dream job. Despite getting up at 5am to catch the earliest bus into town, I arrived ten minutes late. My professor knows my circumstances, but is still threatening to kick me off the course if I don't "arrive on time like everyone else." FML
Today, I woke up and remembered that I'm in law school. Now, I'm about to go to sleep, and I'm still in law school. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Many of us have had dreams about feeling like an “imposter” and being found unable to do whatever it was we feared… Dreams are just dreams most of the time; though just sometimes a deeper meaning comes through - Not usually as a premonition, but much more often an expression of our fears… If you have fears of not being able to keep up with the coursework where ever you are, turn that into a motivator that makes you work harder to learn and understand the courses - Starting on the first day of each of your classes. Also remember that it’s best not to claim accomplishments beyond what you can actually do than to be found out as an imposter… A certain degree of painting yourself in the best light possible is required when looking for a job - But the worst thing you could ever do is to somehow get a job you had claimed competence in but were unable to accomplish.

I know plenty of people who sucked at school work... some wind up failing at life, but the ones who knew how to prioritize put their efforts into what they could understand. most of those people got into trades and make 60k+ a year some over 100k. being bad at one thing doesn't mean you fail at life... unless you let yourself fail at life.

Hey, at least you're not hundreds of thousands in debt with no degree. That's where your dream was heading!
