Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML
Today, after I missed in school for two and a half weeks, I also missed three tests. Now I gotta work for all of them during my holidays and read two books for school. My holidays are just gonna be like school, but with more work. FML
Today, I lost my job because my mom and stepdad forced me to go on our family vacation, even though my time off got rejected. FML
Today, I took my binder on a short road trip two hours away from my home, so that I could study for my upcoming finals. When I got home, I realized I that had left my binder all the way there, containing my notes, classwork, homework, finals notes, etc. FML
Today, I have to pack for tomorrow's family vacation. For one week I get to be stuck in a one bedroom cabin with my alcoholic father, bipolar mother, and two much younger siblings who have a passion for screaming. FML
Today, after weeks of intense studying with the intent of pulling my grades up, I saw that in fact, they've all gone down. FML
Today, I finally finished my summer assignments for three AP classes. My schedule also arrived. Turns out my school can't place me in any of them, and I just wasted the last four weeks of my summer. FML
Today, it's only day three of my annual vacation. Rest and relaxation? Afraid not! For the past days, I've been haunted by the constant thought of how much work will be piled up when I get back. FML
Today, my parents left on vacation for the week. Taking advantage of my freedom, I was planning on having my boyfriend over. My grandparents just showed up as they "thought I would be lonely." I can't get rid of them. Looks like I'm not having any fun this week. FML
Today, I've been feeling like my efforts are never enough. I had 4 exams in one goddamn week, didn't sleep at all for 3 days studying, only to get completely demolished. The teachers put the most complicated problems as if they WANT us to fail. If I fail one class, I'm getting kicked out of my program. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Seriously! The truth, while at the time may be hard to admit, is ALWAYS best. As your parents they more than likely would understand and agree that you, actually, studying is more important. This situation is 100% your fault. Communication and honesty are the best solution!

Assuming of course OP's parents are reasonable.

just say there's a research project due at the end of the vacation and you won't be able to do it if you leave

Sounds like an amateur procrastinator problem to me

Maybe they did it on purpose?

When was the last time you went on vacation for procrastinating?
FlyingPie 17
That's why you shouldn't wait until the last minute to do your classwork.

This is not something as basic as classwork, it's a final. Procrastinating homework is all fine and dandy (not really, but we all do it), but procrastinating something with as much of a magnitude on your future such as a damn final is downright stupid.
FlyingPie 17
That's the idea behind my comment.. And if it's a final, that's even more reason not to procrastinate.

YOLO!! Lol. No, I'm just kidding. YDI for not doing your work in the first place anyways. Good luck slacker.

You kinda deserve it if you haven't been studying.
