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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

#6, #8 Are you serious? Maybe for an adult, but most high school kids don't get much snail mail if any. I know I didn't - I rarely ordered anything online, I interacted with my friends in person or via the phone, I never subscribed to anything, and I didn't sign up for any memberships that would bombard me with obnoxious newsletters. To someone not regularly getting mail, they are not going to know if any mail is being withheld from them. If you're going to try and discredit an FML, at least think it through.

Find a creepy old man. Let the creepy old man take your brother. After 7 weeks, take him back. That should teach him not to mess with you. If you can prove that you've never even seen the old man before, you can sue him, and reap the rewards of your brother's misery. Ain't a genius? A sick, twisted, genius?

i go to geneseo. the honors program isn't separate from the college, it's just a bunch of extra classes to take. it's just one more thing to put on your resume, and since geneseo is a really great SUNY school already, you'll be fine not in the program.

It's the truth--it's like you take one honors class each semester for two or three years. I mean, it sucks that you can't do it now, but if you're a freshman they will consider you again in your sophomore year. Otherwise, honestly don't sweat it. You can still graduate with honors in your major if you do a thesis, get into one of the million honor societies they have, graduate summa cum laude, etc. I would still kick the crap out of your brother, though. That goes without saying

ouch, that sucks. i'm glad i'm an only child. maybe find your little brother's favourite toy and hide it somewhere for 7 weeks, as suggested, or maybe ... lock him in his room for 7 weeks? give him a slap round the head once a day for seven weeks? i
