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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Offended
Today, after I studied a lot of my time away and taking part in a test, my two friends got good grades, even though they didn't even study as much. Most of the time they did a lot of other stuff, and I don't know why my score isn't as good, and I'm not satisfied. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Under pressure
Today, after having pulled like three all-nighters and studying hardcore for months, when it came down to it, I couldn't solve even one question. I almost broke down. FML
Academia ain't for everyone
Today, after dropping a class for the first time ever in college in order to focus on raising my grades, I failed the test that I dropped another course to study for. By not finishing on time. After 3 days of studying. FML
Hard test
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
Student life is rough
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
Today, I walked into an exam after having stayed up 20 straight hours studying. The professor looked at me and muttered, "Don't bother, I'm failing you either way." FML
Today, the grades for one of my courses were released. The class average was higher than that which the department allowed, so the professor had to scale everyone's marks down to meet the policy. I ended up failing because my class was too smart. FML
Procrastination station
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
Today, I re-sat an expensive exam I'd flunked 6 months previously. The same impossible multiple choice questions appeared, which I'd been unable to find the answers to, even with all my textbooks and the internet. FML

Rough, weird how that works. Stay focused!

I would advise the opposite. I'm willing to bet that it's because OP was exhausted from the change in workload, making it harder for them to get better grades. Just my opinion.

Same thing happened to me....I hope you get them back up in time. You can do it OP :)

Often studying makes you more nervous for the test. You can't think properly being nervous during the test. Also, if OP stayed up late studying, lack of sleep contributes to the same results.

Good teachers can also make a huge impact. There is a massive difference between the average, unmotivated teacher and the one that is really engaged in his/hers subject. That is the teacher who gets trough to the students, and makes them learn.

*through. The irony in this setting is rather poor, but still.

What happens is that no matter how hard you try in US public schools, you'll end up failing. That's how my life goes.

That sucks, but maybe get a tutor? School sucks anyways, don't sweat it.
biggestfan23 11
School does suck but he should sweat it because most of the time that's what separates you from a respectable job at a company or being a manager at McDonald's

35 - A good friend of mine got a free car (for having the best ratings at her store) and free yearly vacations to Vegas every year for being a McDonald's GM. I no longer think it's a crappy place to work.

I second that motion. My BS detector is going off.
teague95 16
don't know if what 45 said was true, but I know somebody that is a manager at a McDonald's he makes pretty good pay the hours suck, but better pay working at McDonald's then most would think

I switch between feeling pity for people like you and feeling anger for your idiocy. There is so much beauty you miss out on if you are not curious about the natural world.

I read your comment, reread the FML, and read your comment again. Nope. Still not a clue what you're talking about.

Take a break once in a while. You might just be over-stressing yourself.

Studying less can help sometimes

That really sucks, OP. I find tutors help a lot more than studying alone!

Lol, I feel like your profile pic is gonna tutor him.

Make sure you pick an ugly tutor or your grades might drop even farther

So whats the integral from [-2,1] of the ln(x)? AlLIENS
Danny0522 8
My bad, the interval is [2,3]. The domain of the function is only (0,infinity) *ALIENS

Good on you for trying, I know so many people who could do much better if they only tried.

Every time I see your picture, I always think "Smoke. Smoke. ARE YOU SMOKING YET?"

Umm, try less?
olpally 33
Sounds like a good idea... But it seems like op wouldn't do much better... Idk op, you're doing something wrong... :(
iheartstewie7 5
It was just a joke. Bc studying harder is making him do worse, so maybe he should try and study less. sarcasm :) OP was just studying passively. Do something more effective.
olpally 33
I got the sarcasm... That thought went through my head too... Lol thanks for explaining though :) op has to do something different.
