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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

This actually sounds like me. I would often show up to empty rooms to take a test cause it was the day before. Maybe start carrying a planner and check it religiously.

That's a terrible way to start off college. Sorry OP, hope you catch up though.

You are ******. Do you think any of the Profs.will believe you were dumb enough to miss entrance by a week? Go home and wait until next semester.

So you missed Welcome Week AND the first week of classes? FYL so hard, but also a YDI. Should have made sure!

At my school if you miss the first day of any class they automatically drop you I hope for your sake that it's not like that at yours but, I think you should pay more attention to important days like that I say ydi.

Ouch, maybe you should get a calendar and mark things down

If you're smart enough to go to a university, you should also be smart enough to read the school's calendar.

YDI. There would have been plenty of info about when classes were starting. If you couldn't figure that out how do you expect to do well in Uni?

Just tell people u just now registered. But talk to the office and tell them what happened. I missed my first week but my teachers had given us the class schedule plus homework before classes even start. So I was done with my first 3 weeks of work before the first day.
