Today, I saw a letter from Geneseo that invited me to apply to the honors college. Excited, I wrote the required two page essay on how I am organized. I then saw the strict deadline was March 15th. My little brother thought it would be funny to hide my mail. For the past seven weeks. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML
Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, I was excited to hear that I received three of my grad school recommendations in the mail from a very busy professor. They need to be submitted sealed, and of course, my nosy mom decided to open them. FML
Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML
Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML
Today, while reading over my sent application email to a job I have been trying to get, I found out my brother had put "Heil Hitler!" as my signature. FML
Today, I got a letter from Yale Law School saying I got a 4 year full scholarship. I called my dad crying and read the whole thing… even the bottom of the letter, which said, "April fools' ! Love, Mom and Dad." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't go to Geneseo unless you want to be a science teacher in upstate New York, it's not a good place for anything else.

If you are going to Geneseo, just be glad you are going to one of the best public universities in New York. It also happens to be the only one that isn't overrun by snobby and ignorant Long Islanders with their annoying ass accents. Mostly down to earth and smart people from Rochester.

If you are still going to Geneseo, just be glad you are going to one of the best public universities in NYS. And it is also the only one that isn't completely overrun by snobby ignorant Long Island brats who have that annoying ass accent and think they are better than everyone! Mostly down to earth cool/smart people from Rochester and Buffalo (and if you are a guy, the ratio is waaaaaay in your favor. If you are a girl, RIT is just 35 minutes away and has the opposite ratio).

That sucks! You should try writing the director (dean?) of the program and explaining what happened. They might not have finished reviewing all the applications yet, and they might have some sympathy for you. It's worth a shot. If not, you can probably apply for the following semester. #118: The deadline was four weeks ago, not the day the OP received the letter. Obviously the college would not send it out on the day the application was due.

Only assholes go to Geneseo, you're better off. Just something about the atmosphere makes them complete dicks. Probably cuz they think they're meant for Harvard or Hamilton, when they could only get in Geneseo.
