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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Why not just tell the truth?

You have really cool, yet somehow simultaneously overbearing parents

Just be honest and tell them you need more time. This is important for your future.

At least your parents are nice bringing you on a vacations. How about you fake being sick and say you can't go because of it

Oh, it's so hard to be forced to go on a vacation someone else pays for and arranges. Wish my life sucked that bad. It'd be a hell of an upgrade for me.

Procrastination is like a rabid dog. The more you **** with it, the more likely it'll **** you up. That being said, yes, you completely deserve it.

Errr... sorry guys but why the "boohoo I wish I could get a vacation too" posts? OP mentions finals... I would assume OP is an adult? Why wouldn't the OP have the right to prioritize (better late than never heh) ? Why should the parents be applauded for not caring about their child's wishes ? If you tell me the OP is 16, fine. YDI. But if OP is over 18, sorry, a vacation isn't automatically some magical reward.
