Today, I had just finished an elaborate charcoal drawing as part of a college application that took a good week. When I read over the requirements, I found out it needed to be done in graphite pencil. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my stick figure drawing passed as homework during my doctoral level seminar. I'm paying over two thousand dollars for this course. FML
Today, I was working on my art portfolio. I had drawn a self-portrait. When I was satisfied, I wanted to show my parents. They thought it was a drawing of a bear. FML
Today, I had to do a still life of a pillowcase for my drawing class. To make up for bad grades I've gotten before, I followed my professor's directions to a T. He took 19 points off because I drew the background when no one else did. We have to do it for every piece. FML
Today, while sitting on a bench drawing, some guy went up to me, yelled, “YOUR ART SUCKS” and flipped my sketchpad out of my hands. I’d been working on that piece for hours and now there’s a big black pencil streak on it. FML
Today, after nearly three weeks of hard work, I finally completed my best drawing yet, a self-portrait. I was incredibly excited to take it to class tomorrow. That is, until I came home from a walk later on, only to find my brother had drawn a stick figure on it, wanking into my face. FML
Today, I spent almost two hours drawing a scenery. I was tired halfway in and took a break. Came back to my room to see it getting scribbled on. FML
Today, I was in art class in which we were drawing mythical creatures. I spent the entire hour and a half drawing a Minotaur, which turned out extremely well. It turned out so well that the teacher thought I had traced it, and told me to start over right before the bell rang. FML
Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML
Today, during an interview, in my nervousness I accidentally handed the interviewer an A4 paper with my doodles and a grocery list instead of my resume. I guess they now know I need to buy more milk and have a questionable talent for drawing stick figures. FML
Today, I posted a picture of a drawing that I was so proud of on Twitter. It was the best drawing I’ve ever done. A few minutes later, someone commented saying, “What is this?” Looks like it’s back to the drawing board for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell the teacher it is a graphite pencil of an original charcoal drawing. What have you got to lose buddy...

There's no teacher. It's an application.

Any school dumb enough to fall for that isn't worth attending (and certainly not paying for).

Uhhh yes they will. Charcoal and graphite look VERY different. Even a five year old would be able to tell they're different mediums.

I know they look different but I couldn't tell you which is which ????

a profesional level artist would! Such as the professors at the institution he is applying.

Poor preparation on your part qualifies for no sympathy on ours.

What the hell is this shit? Go do your rap bullshit on someone else's comment, dammit.

I think an applause is due when you manage to get a tongue lashing from DB because of randomness

I like Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine. I'll bet no one gives a shit, but I really like that line and wanted to share it. Y'know, sharing is caring :)

I'm sure this portrait you did is amazing and might make up for the mistake.

Send it in along with a graphite pencil and if they really desire it in graphite they can it do their selves. I'm sure you'll really stick out from the rest of the applicants who sent theirs in correct

They might laugh, perfect for clown college
