Today, I went to apply for classes at a college my parents signed me up to do dual credit with. Too bad they used my sister's social security number so I don't get credit for my old classes and my new application got thrown out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I applied for college graduation. Turns out my advisor screwed me over and now I'm 1 credit hour short of getting my degree. Now I have to wait another semester and pay $3,500 just to take a one hour class on Bowling so that I can graduate. FML
Today, I waited two hours in line at college to select my classes. I finally got to the desk, only to be told I have to apply online before I can show up in person. FML
Today, I called the college of my dreams to check the status of my application. Turns out they "never received" copies of my transcripts. They did however cash the $70 application fee that was mailed with them. FML
Today, using the money my mom gave me for my birthday, I bought a new laptop for school. When I went online to register for classes, I found that all the online classes were full and remaining classes didn't qualify for my major. FML
Today, I found out I can't enroll in a course I need for my degree. I don't have the right prerequisites. They weren't posted anywhere. The applications for similar courses I could've taken instead have closed last week. I lost a year and a fuckton of money because I waited for the last minute, and now I can't get in. FML
Today, I found out that, after offering to fill out my student aid application for me, my mother sent all of my personal information to a scam site instead. FML
Today, my university is capable of sending me two diplomas in short succession due to a clerical error, but can't recognize that I've graduated and won't be taking classes with them in the fall. FML
Today, I found out that I was never actually enrolled in the class I've been attending all semester. I guess that explains why I only got $400 dollars in student aid, not the 1,200 they said I'd get. FML
Today, because I had to leave the country without notice and didn't have reception to notify my college, I have been irreversibly dropped from all my classes without a refund and will have to reapply for January. FML
Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you haven't, talk to the college's registrar's office. If that doesn't work, contact the dean of students office (or someone similar). My dad accidentally marked that I was a felon on my first FAFSA. (I am definitely not a felon, nor was I at 18). I temporarily lost my spot at the University and full ride scholarship. It took jumping through a boatload of hoops but perseverance paid off. I got reinstated and scholarship back. It can be overwhelming. And it can feel like you're getting nowhere. But this is your life. Be your own advocate. And when it seems like you've exhausted all options, keep trying. Good luck to you!

I got another warning for calling FML out for their shit. if they just made the app run in a somewhat decent way I wouldn't have to complain and if they actually responded to complaints I wouldn't have to go public. The amount of ads on this app are complete BS. the fact that clicking "click here to deactivate" takes you to their site is even bigger BS. **** the DEVs and **** the people who are working for free running this all.

Tell us how you really feel, let it flow like tears down your face

Hi again, Joey. We've addressed this in several warning emails... I even sent you a personal message in case you weren't receiving them, and I did not appreciate the verbal abuse I got in response. For the final time, "click here to deactivate" appears on certain ads and takes you to a website run by the ad company so you can "deactivate" (opt out of) their ads and data collection. Instead of clicking that next time, just wait 3-5 seconds and an X will appear at the top to close the ad itself. Please send future complaints to our support inbox.

The good news is you’re giving your sister a much-needed boost in her degree plan. Maybe she’ll get a good job and be able to throw a few coins into your tin cup.

What is wrong with you? You are old enough to go to college then you are old enough to make sure the paperwork is right! Why are your parents signing you up for anything? Grow up!

Irrelevant! Old enough to get those credits, old enough to do the paperwork herself!

Some of the paperwork has to be filled out by the parents.. My parents filled out my first FAFSA as it was more for them, than me (tax wise/income/etc)

Your parents shouldn’t be registering you for college. Grow up.

I was dating a guy and he was all flirty and kind and cute. Turned out he used me to get closer with a friend of mine not only that but after he cheated on me he made my group of friends go against me. FML
