Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, we got a letter regarding my sister's college career and an appointment she was required to go to. This seems fitting, since she's a senior in high school, or at least she would be if she hadn't passed away a little over a year ago. FML

Today, my younger sister's dog broke its leg. The vets are closed today so instead of going on a date with a girl I have been trying to get for at least 2 years, I need to carry an 80 lb. dog that hates me, up and down the stairs. I already got bit twice. FML

Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML

Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML

Today, I told my professor that I'll be missing class next week due to upcoming surgery. I asked if I could take the exam that I'd otherwise miss another day. He said no, and that I'd just have to take a failing grade, then wished me luck with the surgery. FML

Today, I had to give up going to a therapist because it was too expensive and my parents couldn't afford it. Meanwhile, a girl in my class is getting a therapist for her dog. FML

Weddings blow
Today, I missed going to my boyfriend's stepsister's wedding. I would have been meeting my boyfriend's mom for the first time; now she doesn't like me. She figured I could just "tough it out". I have a chronic health condition and haven't been able to eat or get out of bed. FML

You must end the horse. An unfortunate accident would work.

Someone else paying for their college ed wasn't even an option for 90% of the people I know. Get a loan, get a job, pay for it yourself.

okay so i do feel bad for the horse HOWEVER... education is very important and those that are saying you need to become independant and get a student lone obviously are not putting themselves in their shoes... i am just finishing my schooling and i was lucky enough to not have to get a student loan.. however i have friends that did have to get one and are $30 000.00 in debt... if you had the option to get help from your parents, and now you don't have that option anymore then i do feel for you.. i wish you the best and i hope it all works out

That sucks if your parents paid for another child's college first... but otherwise, quit your whining and pay your way through college if that's what you want. We can't all have our educations paid for by mommy and daddy.

You idiots! Not everyone is eligible for a federal loan. Grants, scholarships, and financial aid don't cover all of tuition and no one will give an 18 year old a loan without a cosigner. I know how you feel! My spoiled little sister wants to go to a private high school...For the same price that it'd take me to get my masters degree in International Business in London. No one will cosign a loan with me because of her.

woooow. you people who are saying kill the horse have obviously never even seen a horse up close. I'd kill to have a horse, because then I could go do shows and earn money and stuff. OP, get a job. that surgery would only cost like 10,000, right? you need to not rely on your parents for everything. my parents aren't even paying for my college, and I'm being forced to get a masters degree. get a job and earn it.

Even so, if it was money given to *you* for *your college*, and then it turns into *your sister* needs this. Why doesn't the sister get a job, and get the horse the surgery money? Are you an only child? Have you never felt some resentment for having your assets passed off to a sister or brother who is COMPLETELY CAPABLE of providing for themselves, too? I'd normal agree with get a job and get 'er done, but working *needlessly* isn't working *effectively*.
