Today, I found out that I've been paying student fees for the wrong account. Apparently I have been paying for some other student's tuition. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that I was never actually enrolled in the class I've been attending all semester. I guess that explains why I only got $400 dollars in student aid, not the 1,200 they said I'd get. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, I found out that I owed my school $0.20. They decided to charge me a late fee of $20 for deferring the intial payment. FML
Today, I found out my school's financial aid had a "misunderstanding" of my finances, I can no longer afford to pay half of my bills or pay for Christmas. FML
Today, I checked my university financial account to discover I owed them over $1000. The reason? They had apparently given me too much money when I applied for a loan and now want it back. Oh, and I spent my loan money on books and a laptop for school. FML
Today, I realized while paying bills on my phone I fat-fingered which credit card I was paying and sent 299 to a paid-off card instead of 200 to another one. Now I'm going to have overdraft fees too. FML
Today, after wondering why I didn't receive a grade for a summer course I took in 2007, I realized that I gave the professor the wrong student ID number. Someone else received credit. I've been waiting on this grade for 8 months in order to graduate. 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 a whole summer of waiting, I went to check my school's website so that I could start my first year again since I had some complications the first time round. I found out that they'd blocked my account and that the fee I'd have to pay was now triple the original. FML
Today, I found out that because I, like many others, don't read the terms and conditions, I accidentally donated £200 to a charity because of a non-refundable payment on a volunteering trip. It's my parents' money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's why you should always check things like this 50 times. FYL though, I hope you can get it back.

Then again, who am I to talk? I've been paying for several other students' tuitions and I've known it all along. That's what happens when you pay the ticket price. FML.

I'd say you got your money's worth. There are no more enduring learning experiences than those gained from colossal ****-ups. My "A-ha" moment with the Celsius temperature scale came from when I thought it was OK for me to stick my hand in a water bath that was 50°C. That made me hit the high note from "Take On Me."

So true perdix, so true. In school, we learn the lesson, and then we're tested on it. In life, we're tested, then we learn the lesson.

I know, right? It's not that hard to look and see that your name isn't the one on the bill...

How is this even possible? My university makes me show ID before I can pay for anything.
