Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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, 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.

why don't you just put college on hold? Avoid loans. no one wants to end up paying 2x more than they borrowed

Tell your family that the only thing the horse needs is a lead pill.

alright people chill ur balls. do u no how much money a horse costs?? op's parents must have already spent thousands of dollars on this horse. they arent gonna throw their money away by saying "go to collage, and we wont let the horse get the surgery and it will die." seriously op get a job. or a loan. or a heart. dont u care that ur sister would be crushed if something happens to her horse??

you're greedy.. the horse comes first. horses are much nicer than most people. and better friends.

what kind of surgery? it could be a life or death situation. would you want a horse to die because of you? I have two horses & I wouldn't be able to live without them.
