Today, I saw a person in my class completing a project that was due two periods later and that they had just started in the bathroom. They got a better grade than me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finished a huge project for work. It took 3+ days and I was very proud of it. Except when I submitted it to my boss, he said that he'd already asked another person to do it. He used that person's project, not mine. FML
Today, after working like a caffeine-fuelled thunderstorm for 9 hours straight on an art project, my 2 friends informed me that it was due next week. I slept for 10 hours, and then went to my class without my project, thinking I lucked out in the long run. Clearly not, as it was due today. FML
Today, I submitted a poem for my English class. I had fun writing it, so I wrote a second which was not nearly as good. My procrastinator of a friend never did his, so I gave him my extra poem. Mine was given a 75% while "his" received a 93%. FML
Today, I've been making extremely good progress in my online class. Or at least… I was, until the deadline to complete it was suddenly pushed a whole month forward, causing me to be "behind." Then my teacher had the nerve to email me, telling me I needed to catch up. FML
Today, I finished a 6-part project. It took me 7 hours of straight work because my partner decided I should do it alone. I then learned that the reason my partner did not help me was because the teacher e-mailed the leader of every group, saying the project was cancelled. FML
Today, I'm grading final projects for a junior level college class. A student finally turned in their work, after months of encouragement and coaxing. Half of it was plain wrong, the rest had so many spelling and grammatical mistakes, it appeared to be written by a drunk autocorrect program. FML
Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them". FML
Today, I accidentally farted in the middle of class. Thinking I got away with it, I just kept doing my work until some kid across the room says, "I could have done better." FML
Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted, Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML
Today, I asked my classmate if she was ready for the final tomorrow and she said it was yesterday. I'm not a bad student - I have 90+ average in the class - but the final was 50% of my grade. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Personally, I had known the person doing the project at that time. There were times where he would "stall" finishing a project, but he had never been this bad with a project. I had talked with him afterwards and he told me that he had most of the research for it done, but hadn't actually started the final copy. This still amazes me because my research took me a few days, but the final copy took me a few hours to perfect. I would probably partner with him in the future, but most of the projects we do in that class require us to be alone. Honestly, if we had the chance, id partner with him the first chance I got.

hard work didn't always pay off. sometimes it's just natural talent. could be he was also planning it out in his head for a while. I do that a lot, think about it 100 times in my head before I put it to paper. don't stress it, there are a lot of factors at play.

I completed/started a project in the class period right before the period it was due and got a solid A.... I guess I owe some people an apology

S/he has probably been half-assing his/her way through school for a long time now and has learned all the tricks. May even be repeating this class because they failed the first time.

I'm one of those people who would leave things as late as possible. Not because I was slack but because I knew from experience that I got consistently better results under presser than I did going along at some leisurely pace. Some of my best items of assessment were completed within hours of being due.
