Today, for the first time this semester, I was able to get parking in time for my Wednesday class. The professor was sick and class was cancelled. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I drove to my college campus for my 8 a.m. class, parked, walked the mile and a half to my classroom, just to find out class had been cancelled. The prof didn't send an email because she couldn't remember her password. I paid $1200 to be taught by this woman, who has a doctorate. FML
Today, I spent an excruciating hour walking to campus with a broken leg, only to find my professor had left a note on the door saying class was canceled. FML
Today, I found out that a single unpaid parking ticket from September put my student account on hold and unregistered me from all my spring classes. I'm a senior and this is my last semester. FML
Today, I left 20 minutes early for school to get a good seat in class. I sat in traffic for 20 minutes before I even got on the thruway and for another 25 minutes once I got off the exit for school. Then I couldn't find parking at my university. I missed class. FML
Today, I drove 3 hours to get to a class, just to have the professor leave a note on the classroom door saying that she wasn't coming. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Today, I decided to show up to my new class an hour early, to be able to choose my seat, and figure out how the computer lab works… only to find out that the lab was locked and I had to wait until the professor unlocked it. FML
Today, I woke up at 7, got to college by 7:40 to receive an email that my 8:00 a.m. class got cancelled. I stayed there until 12:00 p.m. for my second class, to then find out that the cancelled class was the one at 12:00, not 8:00. FML
Today, I got up and walked to college for my only class which started at 9 a.m. after a night of restless sleep. Our exam is two weeks away, so I thought it would be better to attend. Apparently, my teacher thought differently. FML
Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow I'm sorry man. I've been there before. My university is usually packed by the time I get there for my classes. I've had to park in the weirdest spots just to make it to class

When I was at college I usually got there half an hour to an hour early so I could troll for parking and then study or finish homework with the extra time.

Ok #23. Two things. 1. It's Ds get degrees. 2. That is a horrible way to go through college.

Engineering major with a low gpa = no job.

My college wouldn't pass you without a C or better. But if Average or Below Average is all you strive to achieve, be sure to remember to ask, "You want fries whith that?"

Awe that sucks! Parking is always insane at school!!!!!

Just make the most of it, and try and do some work, seems a shame to waste a good parking space

That's some good hustle OP. Keep it up. If that happens again, take advantage of cancelled lecture and get some extra homework/studying in. . . Devils advocate: Schedule extra time for parking OP! (If you can)

I agree #6, on days I drove to class I would leave earlier too. "I couldn't find a park" won't really cut it once OP starts in the workforce. University teaches you skills beyond that of the classroom, like punctuality and time management.

Ha, thats nothing, i get to my college 2 hours early and still cant find parking. I have to park at the other campus and walk.

Parking is generally better in the workforce. I can always park at my job but never at university, and anyone I know with a job can always park with no problem.

class cancelled, at least something to be a bit happy about

I understand the feeling, at my college we have no parking, and 95% of the parking is for the residents who live in the surrounding areas - it's a nightmare

At my university no one who lives in halls is allowed a parking permit for the university car parks!

Ahhh that so sucks!! At least you have a free day now!

In my university everyone comes either by bike or by public transport, so parking is never a problem. Then again, I live in the Netherlands, and almost no student can afford a car...

In my university in the US, it's not that everyone can afford cars. It's that we don't have a choice. There isn't a reliable public transportation option and it would be over an hour bike ride for me to get to class (which isn't super realistic because we live on a mountain so winter would be miserable). Consequently, almost everyone drives and there's never any parking. I show up about 45 minutes early to be sure I have time to find parking.

I'm never sure if I'm better off travelling in by car or train to my uni because the trains can be so rubbish, I have to leave plenty of time to allow for delays anyway. I suppose the plus side is that since I am so tired in the mornings it's much less dangerous than driving.

Must have been why there was a spot open.
