Today, I received an award from my school rewarding me for my honor roll and my cheerleading. When I brought the certificate home my mom congratulated me and hugged me. I worked really hard for this and all my dad had to say was, "Try this flavor of Doritos." FML

Today, my math teacher raged at a student for eating an apple in class. As he yelled at the student, he slapped the apple out of his hand and right into my face. Everyone laughed, including the teacher. FML

Today, I was eating an apple in class. When I went to take a big bite, my teeth went right through the apple, causing me to scrape the apple right up my face. My nose then started to bleed. I'm now known as the girl who punched herself in the face with an apple. FML

Is that their way of joking about you becoming a teacher?

I can see the humour in this...so I don't see it being much of an FML. Unless you went through a lot of crap during college and you graduating is a really big deal. You never know...it could be a hint of what's to come. Or maybe not, you never know! But you should count yourself lucky, some people don't get any recognition from their parents. Some people don't even graduate.

that's the point you idiot you are contradicting yourself... graduating from college is a big deal because like you said not everyone gets to go and not everyone makes it all the way through to graduation and that is why OP was critiquing the apple

Since you call it college you're probably in the US, in which case odds are your parents helped pay your way through college. They owe you nothing at all.

for a start, be thankful you went to college. secondly, as people have said ( #22 in particular), starving kids in Africa would've killed for that apple. thirdly, the apple is often seen as the fruit that granted Adam and Eve knowledge of good and evil. Thus, since it is a symbol of knowledge, maybe your parents were joking and you'll get a better gift later on.

Eh, what? Do people normally get expensive computers as gifts for completing higher education? When I graduate I'm expecting a hug and a celebratory meal at Wetherspoons. Perhaps I'm underselling myself, I should let my mum know of my new expectations so she can start saving now...

@2 *snorts* This is, in fact, the most perfect response. @22 Man, I hope I never get a swift kick to the ovaries. That sounds painful. @ OP Ouch.

Getting a graduation present makes a lot more sense than getting a birthday present. Graduating from college is an accomplishment and a once in a lifetime event, nothing wrong with celebrating and acknowledging that. What's so special about turning another year older that people should give you things?

because not everyone makes it to their next birthday each year
