Today, I found out that my ten-page paper, which has taken me two months to construct perfectly and is worth 30% of my grade, was on the wrong book. It’s due tomorrow. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. FML
Today, I finished a 700-page book for my law exam. It was the wrong book. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I found out that I have been studying for the wrong final exam. One more hour until the test. FML
Today, I found out that my writing teacher entered in one of my paper grades wrong. After many emails, she said she can't change my grade unless I fax her the original. I need that grade fixed so I can keep my scholarship. I can’t find the paper anywhere. That one paper could cost me $30,000. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish an essay. I submitted it one minute before the deadline. Later, I opened the file to double-check and realized I'd uploaded my rough draft, containing notes like “THIS PART MAKES NO SENSE, FIX LATER.” The professor then replied, “I agree with your assessments.” FML
Today, I finished a 50-page term end thesis essay on the history of Russia. Looking over the final requirements once more, I find I made just a tiny little mistake. It was supposed to be a thesis on "Prussia". The paper's due tomorrow. FML
Today, I just studied for 13.5 hours completely outlining a book for history. Thirty minutes before the test, I realized I had been reading the wrong book. FML
Today, at school, I got in trouble for plagiarizing on a paper. The subject of said paper was where I see myself in ten years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Email your professor and tell them what happened, provide proof that you had finished an essay and weren’t just slacking off. Doing so might make them more lenient... well, a D- is better than an F right?

Two months for 10 pages? I'm hoping you're in middle school, but then I'm also wondering why you're on FML. It's totally possible to write a quality 10 page paper overnight.

It’s due the next day... What’s the problem? Knock it out! Okay it might take more like a day and a half, just tell the professor and send them both papers. Or explain it to the professor and they might take it as is. Most writing assignments, professors want to see that you are thinking about and engaging with that text, so the book itself doesn’t really matter. That is, unless they specifically asked you to write about a specific book.

I'm going to assume you're in college since it's a lengthy ten page paper. Since you're in college you should not be this careless, especially since they teach you to always read the instructions carefully in every grade of highschool. Own up to your mistakes and make sure it doesn't happen next time.

Hey guys, OP here. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. It was in a huge class of 300 people, and I did end up emailing the professor and I got it done in the one night. We only had a huge 800 page textbook for the class, and a smaller book, both called Psych books. It is my fault for not looking ahead earlier, I had a super busy semester.
