Today, I found out that the girl I tutored in high school in basic ENGLISH just received her PhD in Biophysics. I am now the manager of a McDonald's. I was also the Valedictorian of our graduating class. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I lost my job to a girl that graduated with the same bachelor's degree from the same college as me. She also got a master's in an unrelated field. I've been working there 7 months, and her master's in maths apparently makes her a better athletic trainer than me. FML
Today, was my graduation from a prestigious university. In two days I start working at a hot dog stand. FML
Today, my former high school bully became my manager. FML
Today, I found out that my friend makes more money than I do. She's a high school dropout and working at a retail job at the mall. I went to college for four years to get my job. FML
Today, my mom was named principal of the school I go to. FML
Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-girlfriend got engaged to a coworker. I got her the job. FML
Today, I was at working at Burger King as a cashier. A girl I met last night came in and said, "Aren't you that guy from last night?" Last night, I had told her I was going to medical school and was going to be a doctor in less than a year. FML
Today, I found out my daughter has a higher paid job in the same company I work in. I also found out she is dating my boss. FML
Today, I walked at my graduation ceremony, proudly wearing my valedictorian cords. It turns out that, after some confusion on behalf of the student services office, I was neither valedictorian nor salutatorian (by 0.2 points). I'm dating the actual valedictorian. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

LOL #1. You do know that Biophysics doesn't have that much of a correlation to English, right? You should get up and DO something about your situation instead at looking at what others are doing.

Well, that is your fault, now, isn't it? While you could have gone to college and university and worked towards your PhD, you chose to work at McDonalds.... So, I'm gonna say YDI. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you did go to college but I'm assuming that you could be working harder towards what you apparently want.

The girl that you tutored clearly has brains, how else would she be able to get a PhD in biophysics? And as for you, where you are now is the result of the choices that you've made in your life. dont blame her for becoming more successful than you, you've got no one to blame but yourself.

Maybe if You actually knew anything worth a Damn you Would stop capitalizing Random words for No reason and would have a Superior career going for you rather than only being good At schoolwork

1. Valedictorian is nothing much to brag about. High school is easy. I know a few valedictorians that are dumb as shit but they did their homework. 2. It's your job to work out your college education. 3. A PhD does not guarantee a job.

I once knew a girl whom was "validictorian[sic]". Nuff said.

I don't think a high school gpa has anything to do with your level of intelligence. I tend to lean more towards ACT/SAT/AP scores in order to determine if someone is smart. I took all honors in high school, never studied for test, and I still ended up with a 3.36 gpa unweighted. However, I got a 28 on my ACT, a 5 on my AP Calculus AB Exam, a 3 on my AP English Literature Exam, and I got 3 hours of college credit in US History for passing a CLEP Exam. In other words, smarts aren't determined by gpa at all. So what if you were Valedictorian; if you didn't go to college and do the work, you obviously deserve to be employed at McDonalds.

Did anyone ask for your test scores? How do they help illustrate your point? Seriously, sharing scores is pretty crass. Don't do it. As far as AP scores go, they're usually only helpful when compared with your grade in the course. For example, you might have gotten a 3 on an AP, but still gotten an A in the class, despite the fact that a 3 indicates you would have gotten a C in a college setting. (ie, C/3 is average, B/4 is good, A/5 is excellent). But if you were getting an A and then got a 3, it shows that you weren't properly prepared by the course for the test. Scores are tricky. SAT's are mostly useless, and high school grades tend to be a better indicator of aptitude than SAT scores (although again, if your grades are way better than your SAT scores, it says something about how rigorous your high school is). Basically, neither grades nor test scores should ever be judged separately.

congrats on your scores and "great" gpa. all this really tells about you is that you're lazy- clearly you could have studied and done better. and, in case you're wondering, i got a 32.

These are bad times for people. People shouldn't judge you for working at McDonald's - the fact is, you're working.

stop worrying about other people, and try to do something with your life. great that you're a manager, but is that what you see yourself as, a McD manager for the rest of your life? I say go to college, figure out what you want in life. There's plenty of pell grants/student loans out there. The person you tutored English prob wasn't their first language, but that doesn't mean they weren't smart, had plans for their lives and went forth with it. Good luck..
