Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. 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 my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML
Today, I discovered my parents have spent my college fund because "2012 will happen" before I graduate. FML
Today, I discovered that my mom got my college fund in the divorce. I will never see that money again and now I can’t afford a four year school. 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, after months of living on five dollars a day for food in college, I found out my parents bought me an expensive meal plan and forgot to mention it. FML
Today, I learned that the new granite countertop in my parents' house cost $12,000. Coincidentally, this is also the amount of money I would have needed to go to the college of my dreams instead of the cheaper school I currently attend. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They figured that the flowers they had planted would last a year, but the knowledge you'd gain in college wouldn't.

That wasn't mean, it was a compliment. I said BEFORE the ugly. Lots of girls think he was hot when he was thin. Plexico, I probably don't want to know....

This FTW was aimed to go with Intoxicunt's comment (#7). Something is a bit weird with the comments section of this post for some reason. Intox, comedy gold!

Thank you, Plexico! I was wondering who that was for.

Hey, you're right. Though, Plexico, I have to admit you do look a little insane...In the best possible way. =) Insane = win.

Haha. #93, I didn't understand what you meant. Do I love Jack Nicholson? He's a great actor. I don't really like him though, for some reason. Just like Morgan Freeman. He's epic, but he comes across as a douche. If I misunderstood you, please correct me.

You ever see Prom Night documentary that Morgan Freeman did? Changes your opinion...minus the step-granddaughter thing!
Intoxicunt 6
Which part? Does he act badly and make me decide he's not a good actor? I guess you meant the other part. Nope, never seen it. I just don't like him for some reason. It's a vibe. Like Sarah Jessica Parker (ick).

Sell something precious of theirs to help out with your college fund.

Dude that is some bullshit. My ******* parents took out a 60,000 dollar loan to pay for a new kitchen, bathroom and TV. My mom said she was gonna get a job to pay it back. That was 2-3 years ago. Right now she's probably sitting in the rocking chair watching TV. And because of that bullshit they aren't able to cosign loans for my sisters. ******* assholes

So mommy and daddy won't pay for college for you? Boo ******* hoo. Get a loan on your own name, or even better: get a job. What is it with all the spoiled brats complaining about what their parents WON'T do for them? Grow a spine and do it yourself.

Well first off, it is a little bit of OP's fault thinking he is entitled to it even though he did not have to work for it. If I was in that situation I would suck it up and get a job/loas. Plus 20K is not enough for a 4 year university so he would be in the same situation a year later.

You're just mad that you never went to college.

Thats why you sell their stuff.

Dump gasoline on their precious lawn and light it on fire, then take all the TVs, computers, radios, iPods, and game consoles and sell them. Hopefully that'll put you through your first semester. Your parents are the douchebags of the month.

Well in their defense, they don't have to send you to college, but FYL because that makes them selfish and stupid because flowers are worthless compared to you education. Remember this when they are old.
