Today, after missing college for a week due to illness, I found out my "friends" were bullshitting me about us having to write an important no-extension Biology essay. Copious amounts of my sweat, snot and tears went into that desperation-fueled nightmare. Thanks, dickheads. 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 I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
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'd being sick all day, my boyfriend volunteered to do my very long sociology paper. I was later notified by my professor that the paper I'd submitted was completely plagiarized. FML
Today, I had a nasty cough, but I went to college anyway. When I walked into class, I could practically smell menstrual blood in the air. After a few coughs, our instructor gave me an "Oh, shut up!" After half an hour, she kicked me out for not "taking the class seriously". FML
Today, I had to make up a story about my "friends" at school so my mom doesn't keep telling I'm a loser. FML
Today, I spent all day doing a project for myself and then for a friend who's sick. Turned out it was a prank everyone in the class was pulling on me. I missed a baseball game because of it. FML
Today, I was told that, although I was sick on the last day before break, they would still accept the 24 page essay that I had written. Tonight, as I went to print it out, I found that my dad had "cleaned up a bit" on my computer, including the documents from last semester. I have school tomorrow. FML
Today, my brother and I got food poisoning because of the shady chicken subs we ate last night. Our mom thinks we're faking it and sent us to school anyway. I'm coming to you live from a school toilet while missing a test. FML
Today, my professor gave me a huge lecture in front of the class about showing up sick, about how I was endangering the lives of other students, and kicked me out of class. As I left, everyone applauded. I'm not sick, but suffering for horrible allergies. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Here is what you should do... Go to the teacher/professor and explain what your friends did. Show them your essay and how hard you worked on it. Then ask them if they will help you to get your friends back by assigning the same essay to them.

If anything you have prepared yourself for future tests or papers and could possibly use that same paper for a different assignment. Writing things out always helped me study for things. Although I would also be pissed if my friends did that.

That is a sweet but not as sweet as revenge. Start planning and plotting now but wait a little so that won't catch on.

Maybe it's not the same for other countries, but here in the U.S., we have syllabi which detail the work to be expected. A quick look at that would've allowed you to know their bullshitting sooner.

Unfortunately, I think it depends on the individual institution or department. As another U.S. student, I've had professors with and without tenure who gave unannounced assignments or got away with syllabi that had zero information on assignments and grading. There were no policies for deadlines or minimum advance notice.

Snip. My comment turned up somewhere else.

Yeah, that sucks, but why wouldnt you verify with the teacher? I have yet to have a college class where it is not incredibly easy to call/email the teacher and explian why you are gone, verify what you are are missing, etc.

@16 If your friends have already agreed to get your assignments for you, there shouldn't be a need to contact the professor. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, Op learned that she can't count on her friends.

If you are missing class, you should absolutely be speaking with your professors. You wouldn't not show up at work and not talk to your boss.

Seeing how hard you worked on the "assignment", the best thin to do would be to inform the Biology teacher of this situation and ask for possible extra credit.

Why would you rely on your friends when you can e mail the teachers and get info

you could just save the paper for later if it was well written

1 - You could have actually emailed your teacher to see what the assignments and all the missing work you would have to make up were, and ask for extension. 2 - Well, that's what friends are for. To be dicks to one another just to be complete trolls now and then once in a blue moon.

Probably "best friends."

Turn it in for extra credit. Then you'll be ahead of your jackass friends.
