Today, I received an acceptance letter to Juilliard. After showing it to my mom, she tells me I can't attend because Robin Williams graduated from Juilliard, and he now has too much facial hair. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got my acceptance letter from Harvard University. Yay! Unfortunately, I sent it as a joke, never thinking I'd get accepted and I have absolutely no way to get there, or the money to pay for it. FML
Today, I came home and told my mom that I got the lead in the school musical, which I was very happy about. She pulled me into a hug then said, "But you know you can't really sing, right?" FML
Today, I got a call from a prominent orchestra asking me to play with them. They were especially interested because I'm still in high school. I called to accept only to find out that my mother had already declined the offer for me because I "only" have a 3.7. FML
Today, I was rejected from the University of Washington. My dad has been a professor there for 30 years, and is on the board of admissions. 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 told my mom that I want to try out for a singing competition on TV, so I might be able to kick off my musical career. She convinced me to sing a song for her, so I did. Mid-way through, she lost it, burst into laughter, and told me to stay in school. 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 spending years volunteering at community theatres and being accepted into a prestigious university for theatrical design, my public high school gave me a scholarship. All my mother could say was, "I'm sorry they wasted their money on you." FML
Today, I excitedly told my mom how I got accepted to the master’s program of my dreams. She decided now would be a good time to proudly repeat for the millionth time how she gave up a full ride to the Ivy League to marry my father, and I ought to be a "good woman" and do the same. FML
Today, I noticed that my facial hair had grown by an acceptable amount. I spoke to my Dad and decided to show him, thinking he would approve of my manliness. His exact words when I showed him were, "Nah, son. You just look like a lesbian." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, facial hair of previous graduates is always something I look for in a good education, right?

Don't go to Julliard. Its so difficult in there it makes your facial hair pops out.

Never mind the fact that robin Williams is so famous lol

He may have facial hair but he also has millions!!!!

For every hair on his face there's a 100$ bill in his stash

Jumanji. 'nuff said.
Boomshadow 3
Yeah, never mind the awards and the money. That hairiness has really held Robin Williams back.
redreynard 14
I actually think Robin Williams pulls off the whole "Sigmund Freud" look quite nicely.

you got into Juilliard!! that's my dream! go and make the best of it!!
mrszane93 5
And the facial hair relates how?
chloe2114 4

Wow. You have to be the talented of the talented to get in! Good luck!

It's pretty saddening to read this FML again. Rest in peace Robin Williams.

I agree, that's ridiculous. Ignore her & have a wonderful time!
SecretMe00 5
I'm not even sure how it relates to your acceptance. Kind of ridiculous of her. Congratulations though! Making a better future for yourself. Wish you the best of luck.
Superstitious 6
What an idiot. Robin Williams doesn't have too much facial hair.
xoconnie 8
What did your Dad say?
Ray_of_midnight 23
I hope you find a way to go. Break a leg!

Breaking a leg would be counterproductive to life.
Bonzer 2
120- If he was truly stupid enough to not know that saying, he wouldn't know the meaning of "counterproductive."
Levvy 22
That........ What? That can't possibly be the entire story.
egc573 40
Yeah, this is weird. It's like she's the opposite of those parents who are hellbent on getting their child into an Ivy League, nothing less. There are plenty of people who would be psyched about their kids getting in there. Congratulations, though, OP. That's one heck of a hard school to get into.
alicexo_fml 8
She's probably just being unreasonable initially because she has issues about 'losing her baby.' I'm sure she will come around eventually and if not, OP is going anyway and she can get over it

That's a hairy si-- *gets hit with a tomahawk*

Stop playing Black Ops and finish your sentence.

Actually, he got an arrow to the knee.
KrazieKleo 13
Obviously you can't read. He got hit with a tomahawk... Idk where you read arrow to the knee...

Also, he's not playing black ops. He's playing assassins creed.

Congrats! Don't always have to listen to mom. Just don't grow too much facial hair and she should be fine..
ChefPhilly 13
To bad the OP is a girl...
HerrBawl 4
I don't see how OP being female would keep her from having facial hair.

Don't let your mom hold you back from your dreams(:

It's probably because Jilliard is expensive as f***.
RedPillSucks 33
What? Expensive schools cause facial hair? Guess my daughter is going to community college.
xd3box 4
I think he means the mom made up a retarded excuse to avoid saying that.
SolanumX 6
What I've heard is schools like Yale, Harvard, etc. actually practically won't let you not come because of expenses. There are so many scholarships out there for the middle or lower class family with an intelligent child it's ridiculous. People that attend those schools have so many resources they can call on. At least that's what I've heard, seeing as I have yet to attend one.
SarahElisabet 4
I don't know about Julliard specifically, but I do know that Harvard doesn't offer ANY scholarships to incoming freshmen. I suppose it's like a one year test to see if they can make it.
SolanumX 6
Perhaps I should clarify: There are funds out there for people like you. Regardless of whether or not they are offered through the school.
Bonzer 2
******* doesn't cost that much money...
Mitcha857 0
63- you totally got that right. How anyone didn't get what I was saying is beyond me.
23lf 16
Juilliard tuition cost 36,920 for one year of schooling. That's ALOT of money
BaconForMoi 14
That's a lot, yes, but it's not as expensive as some other schools. Considering its New York, thats good. TCU, in Texas, costs 60k a year thats double Julliard.
gojira666 7
I didnt know julliard taught people how to grow facial hair
Superstitious 6
Another useless major...
afunnyterdcody 5
