Today, I received a letter saying that I was accepted into university and that I qualified for a number of scholarships. Too bad an equivalent sum of money will be spent fixing the car I hit, after spinning out on ice, whilst driving home from said university. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got into my dream university. I also got turned down for the scholarship and the loan that would enable me to actually go. 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, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML
Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML
Today, after a lot of effort put into it and finally getting a scholarship, they emailed me saying they can't afford to fund me because they were impacted by the pandemic. I'd already denied other scholarship offers because theirs was the best offer. FML
Today, I spent ages applying for a scholarship online. I found out on the very last page that I do not meet the qualifications for it. FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Today, I received another letter of rejection from the university of my dreams. I got it the first time, but thanks for reminding me. FML
Today, I received a full scholarship to the university of my dreams in England. Being born into a fairly poor family, I've never received anything for free and I worked on my grades like a dog last semester to achieve this. However, the scholarship is only valid if the UK stays in the EU. FML
Today, as I was talking to my girlfriend about how I need to find another job to be able to afford school next fall, I hit a deer causing about $3,000 in damages to my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

9 - you're retarded, that's the dumbest shit I ever heard. the weather didn't cause it. dumb drivers cause accidents. and you have insurance so you dont pay out of pocket except for deductable. OP - you musta smashed that car good to cost that much. YDI for not having proper insurance. it's better to only pay $250-500 than cost of repairs. $0 deductible is awesome :-)

Even great drivers get into accidents because of the weather. Ice is ice. You can only try to stop. So, T yes, weather can cause accidents. And with the insurance...you only pay the deductible if you have full coverage. OP may have had only liability.

depends. Maybe OP was driving like a maniac because he thought having an SUV meant he didn't need to be careful on ice.

Well at least you have the scholarships to cover the school part. Now you should have an easier time paying for the car since you only have to pay one. Also, some insurances don't cover certain types of accidents, so therefore even if OP has insurance it might not help.

it would suck if you got into another wreck after you paid it off.

Sorry that you got into an accident, but I think you're overexaggerating. By law you have to have coverage for damage done to another car, so you're all set. The only thing that you're going to have pay for is whatever surcharge points you now have on your record. And if you just got accepted into a college, then you probably can't bring your car with you to college anyway...

How can you "overexaggerate". Wouldn't that just be exaggerating?
