Today, I found out all six classes I'm taking have finals on the same day. This is my first semester in college. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I fucked up my schedule on my final semester so bad I need to take a course from a community college at the same time I'm doing a full-time schedule at my university. This doesn't sound bad, but then the only course I could get into is at the same time as one of my university courses. I can't graduate otherwise. FML
Today, I found out that I've been taking the wrong math class all semester. We're only a few weeks from finals and I have no drops left. 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 found out that I have to take a weekly workshop outside of class time all semester, and it's only offered on the day I have the most work hours. I barely make ends meet as it is, but the professor said to figure it out or fail. FML
Today, I found out that I have been studying for the wrong final exam. One more hour until the test. FML
Today, my first day of college, the textbooks I ordered a month in advance still haven't arrived. My first class of the semester is College Readiness. 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, 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
Today, I finally finished my summer assignments for three AP classes. My schedule also arrived. Turns out my school can't place me in any of them, and I just wasted the last four weeks of my summer. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You can change the time of those finals if u have more than 3 on the same day or same time. That's how Our university is.

I came here to say the same, so apparently it's a common thing.

Hmm, in mine it is your responsibility to take classes that don't have finals on the same day because all the dates for finals are posted well ahead of registration.
ThatHorse 15
Not all universities allow for that though #3. My uni made the rule "no more than 2 on the same day" (except in the case of special classes who had their finals start at 10pm, in which case it was automatically 3).

Same. Even though final dates are posted ahead of time, my school understands you can't always get into all the classes you need and not have all the finals supposed to be on the same day. Explain your situation to each professor as soon as possible and they'll see what they can arrange. (At my school, the teacher gets the final decision on who takes what when, since they're in charge of grading it.)

45- not all schools do that, mine doesn't.

57 - mine didn't either. Finals schedule was posted a week or 2 before Finals week. There was no rhyme or reason to it. My 9:30am Tue/Thu class had it's Final at 7 or 7:30pm Thurs evening, and my 8am MWF was I think at 5pm Thurs? weird stuff like that.

Why the hell did you register for 6 classes your first semester?
stoogalishus 15
The best time to take more classes is during your first year so that you can get all the basic classes out of the way.

Some programs, or even just the specific term itself, has more than a weeks worth of classes. Believe me.

I have seven. It's not that hard unless you don't keep up with it.
annalily5 28
It also depends on how hard your college makes classes, particularly entry level classes, and depends on if any of your classes have labs. No offence, but if you have 7 classes and have no problem keeping up with it, your college is probably pretty easy and you didn't push yourself when choosing where to go.

18- If you have 7 classes and it's easy you're probably in the wrong school. Wait, maybe you're in high school! It all makes sense now.

He's saying he has seven classes, but that probably includes lab. He also didn't say how many credit hours, or what classes, that could easily include 1 credit hour PE classes.

I am #18 and am a freshman at WVU, taking 7 classes, totaling 18 credit hours in mechanical engineering. I am currently enrolled in Chem 115, Engineering 101, 150 & 199, Calc 155 (calc 1), RPTR 140 (gen ed), and English 101. Oh, I'm sorry, if I include my 3 hour Chem Lab, that adds up to 8 classes. And I work 19 hours a week. College is only hard if you dick around and don't do the work. I'm proud to say I have all As and one B.

I still definitely think six finals in one day TOTALLY freaking sucks! FYL, OP.

My first semester of my freshman year was this: Lecture+lab; 4credits; biology Lecture+lab; 4 credits; chemistry Lecture; 3 credits; algebra Lecture; 3 credits; English 101 = 6 classes; 14 credits

Talk to me when those course numbers are all in the 3 and 400 range.

wow, this is against the rules here in Poland. You can have only 1 final a day. Talk to advisor, student body representative at your college. and gl with all the learning :3
kibster9 20
You can request to take tests on different days. Go to a testing center!
luther48 20
That's a lot for one day, but at least you're done at once

Try talking with your professors and advisor. Hope you do well OP!
