Today, I received a letter from my college telling me that my instant tuition was revoked and I’ll have to pay almost twice as much next semester. Yesterday, I received the same letter. I guess they needed to tell me twice. It hurt just as much the second time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received another letter of rejection from the university of my dreams. I got it the first time, but thanks for reminding me. FML
Today, I got 3 different rejection letters mailed to me from the same college. FML
Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML
Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML
Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML
Today, I got a letter saying I was no longer a student at my college and my current work is void since I had ignored and refused to pay my tuition bill. Over the past month I've been deleting these pesky emails saying 'FINAL WARNING regarding payment' thinking it was more spam. They weren't. FML
Today, after a whole summer of waiting, I went to check my school's website so that I could start my first year again since I had some complications the first time round. I found out that they'd blocked my account and that the fee I'd have to pay was now triple the original. FML
Today, I received a surprise "absolute final notice" email for payment of an overdue fee from the university I withdrew from 6 months ago. Turns out, my old landlord has been hoarding their letters to me. As a result, my credit is now in the shitter and I had to pay an extra $120 in interest. FML
Today, my college charged me for tuition for next semester. I graduated two years ago. I have a degree from a place too stupid to only charge current students. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why, though? Something must’ve happened to make this harsh of a decision.

You mean “in-state?”

I was wondering what "instant tuition" was...

When they need deposit from you, they'll make several notices for you get it. When they need to withdraw from their account, they'll make sure you get exactly one notice and that's it.

did it hurt more or less than the hot sauce your husband put in your lube?

College is a scam anyway. Drop out, go to a tech school. You’re 10 times more likely to get a high paying job where you’re only working 5 days a week, not 6 or 7. Tuition is about 1/4 the cost and you graduate in three years not 4 or 8.

How can they revoke it if you live in state? Did you move?

A lot of colleges have somewhat ridiculous rules to qualify for in-state or local tuition rather than the full-price version. Where I attended, I spent three of the four years I attended living within a few blocks of campus, but had to pay the out-of-town rate because I hadn't lived in town for "6 months consecutively as a non-student." They want the full tuition amount whenever possible, so they make it harder and harder to qualify for lower ones.
