Today, I moved into my university dorm a week before classes start. Everyone kept giving me weird looks as they watched me move my stuff in. Finally, one of my dorm mates asked me if I knew that school had actually started last week. I didn't. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my father was helping me move into college. When we arrived, the students helping people move in mistook me for one of the parents. I’m 19. FML
Today, I moved into my new college apartment for the next year. A 45 year old guy with a mustache in short shorts and no shirt answers the door. He will be one of my roommates. FML
Today, I moved into university residence, looking forward to finally being able to come out of the closet. I started chatting with the hot guy moving in next door to me. He said I was cool, and he was glad because he was afraid he'd be living next to a gay guy. FML
Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML
Today, I began my job as an intern at a high school. I saw one of the students looked very familiar, and I couldn't remember from where. Then I figured it out, I had hooked up with him at a club last week. He's a junior in high school, I'm in my last year of college. FML
Today, I moved into a new apartment. While moving boxes, I ran into my supervisor from work. Guess who lives across the hall. FML
Today, I paid a surprise visit to my parents, after having moved out for university last year. My room had been stripped bare and all the family photos featuring me were missing from the wall. When I asked why, my mom asked me in return why I was asking stupid questions. FML
Today, my landlord started showing my apartment, where I have lived and paid rent for over 2 years, to prospective tenants. I didn't realize that I was moving. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. FML
Today, I had artfully managed to avoid anyone knowing that I was moving into a trailer park. I showed up at the trailer where all my friends, co-workers, and exes were waiting. My parents knew I was feeling down and wanted to throw me a surprise "moving in" party. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Next thing you know, you'll be running through the halls in your underwear trying to find where your final exam is being held. What, I'm the only one who's ever had that nightmare?

A friend of mine had a nightmare where she was in the crowded school hallway, sitting on a toilet peeing. She said everybody was pointing and laughing, while she just sat there. She said woke up and realized she had to go to the bathroom for real.

Classic stress dreams. In college, mine was always that I either totally forgot about a class until the day of the final, or discovered at the final I had been attending the wrong section all semester.

I had a reoccurring dream where I had forgotten that I signed up for a class. I had it so often that I actually freaked out one morning and got ready for said class before realizing I wasn't taking it.

Shouldn't you notice if your other roommate stuff was already set up, and everyone else rooms

Say, "Yeah, I know, I was letting you dummies get a head start just to keep it interesting for me." They'll think you are a genius, and you'll be very popular.

Until they find out that you are just average, which will make you look like an arrogant douche.

I don't know man, in this age of Yolo and Swag, most smart people are labeled unpopular nerds.

I vote YDI because there are a billion ways to know in advance when school starts. Friends, website, emails, etc. Speaking as a college student, not knowing classes started is not an excuse to professors who drop you if you do not attend first class.

Also, most schools start sometime in the first week of September, unless its one of those specialty schools that runs on a different schedule. But for most schools it's safe to assume that you'll be starting sometime between the 3rd and 5th of September, so there's no reason to be off by two whole weeks.

I'd say better late than sorry but I think in this case best would be not at all. Not a good first impression.

the saying is better late than never.

What's really sad is that her response to him doing something inappropriate, even if he doesn't know better, is "get over it". Even if for some reason he doesn't know that's inappropriate to do to any girl (outside of being in a relationship) and especially inappropriate to do to his sister, he needs to be taught that it's inappropriate by someone, not just expect everyone he assaults to get over it until he magically figures out it's wrong.

wrong fml im afraid.

Wow, how'd you miss the date? YDI

No worries. You just missed syllabus day :) Or maybe I just have senioritis...
geekchick88 17
Missing the first two days might be missing syllabus days, but in my experience, professors start right away. I've never been lucky enough to have one that only goes over the syllabus on the first day. And having missed an entire week, OP has definitely gone beyond missing just the syllabi for his various classes.

The first week of school is more than just the syllabus day. I've had class for two days and we are already done with chapters 1 and 2.
