Today, I got a letter confirming I had dropped out of college. I received this letter shortly after completing the 10th essay I had finished this week as a result of me deciding to finally apply myself to my schoolwork. Turns out that while dropping a class, I checked Drop All instead of Drop 1. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after dropping a class for the first time ever in college in order to focus on raising my grades, I failed the test that I dropped another course to study for. By not finishing on time. After 3 days of studying. FML
Today, I went to check my grade, which was posted for an essay for my comp 1 class. I got a zero. I was devastated only to find out I never actually clicked the submit document button. My grade dropped 20 points. FML
Today, I learned I'm getting kicked out of the house for NOT dropping out of college. FML
Today, I got a letter saying I was no longer a student at my college and my current work is void since I had ignored and refused to pay my tuition bill. Over the past month I've been deleting these pesky emails saying 'FINAL WARNING regarding payment' thinking it was more spam. They weren't. FML
Today, in an attempt to get some guidance from my college advisor, I emailed her, saying I was contemplating going to another school because I felt so helpless about my GPA, and was sure I wouldn't get my major. I asked for advice on raising it. She gave me instructions on how to drop out. FML
Today, because I had to leave the country without notice and didn't have reception to notify my college, I have been irreversibly dropped from all my classes without a refund and will have to reapply for January. FML
Today, I was kicked out of college for not attending a class I wasn't ever enrolled in. FML
Today, I found out that I've been taking the wrong math class all semester. We're only a few weeks from finals and I have no drops left. FML
Today, I dropped my physics class because I thought I bombed the 50% second midterm test. I got my results an hour after dropping online. I finished with an 83. I can't get back into the course. FML
Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted, Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ya know, that sounds important enough to double check what you check...

Who would vote this YDI? It's an honest mistake. It's a sucky part of life.

Ten essays in a week? Sounds unlikely. I study at History at Cambridge- despite being arguably the best university in the world for this subject, I only have to submit one essay per week- max 2.

I think he means it was his 10th essay for the whole semester so far that he finished this week. 10 is a lot. Also, I'm pretty sure he meant he was taking more than one class, decided to drop one class, and accidentally dropped other classes he wasn't intending. Being someone who has been very near your position, I find it hard to see how anyone can "YDI" this. The checkboxes are kind of close and the forms can be quite intimidating. It's a hard decision as it is to drop/withdraw from a class. If this just happened you actually have time to correct this. Go to your advisors and tell them it was a mistake. If you're really trying to apply yourself and do better, explain this to them and they might understand. If you intend to pass classes you are not dropping, I STRONGLY suggest you fight this out and try to get back in. It will be worth the effort in the longrun so you don't have to retake the classes you could have passed. I feel for you man, I wish you the best of luck because college isn't easy.

The college I go to (which is in Maryland whoo) lefts you drop classes up until Nov. 9, but with a 'W'. You don't need permission from the professor or the department or whatever. So yeah, I don't think this is fake.

That sucks for you if this is real, but honestly, what college has a "Drop All" button? I suggest BS. Most people in educational administration have enough of a heart to go through the work to correct an honest mistake like this that would have such a dramatic effect on somebody's life. Go talk to them and get it straightened out.

I can understand how you would do this. Very carelessly but understandable. See if there is anyway you can fix it. Talk to admission asap.
