Today, I went to online to find out why my midterm grade is for my least favorite class Psychology. After weeks upon weeks of studying and doing work for a class I hate I found out that I have a zero in the class. Turns out I've been going to the wrong psychology class all semester. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Today, I found out that I've been taking the wrong math class all semester. We're only a few weeks from finals and I have no drops left. FML
Today, I went to check my grade, which was posted for an essay for my comp 1 class. I got a zero. I was devastated only to find out I never actually clicked the submit document button. My grade dropped 20 points. FML
Today I woke up feeling good and ready for my online business class final, only to find that it had somehow been submitted and graded with a zero. FML
Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. FML
Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML
Today, I found out why my biology class TA, who takes the class alongside the other students, was always so eager to collect my work. Turns out, she's been erasing my name on my papers and writing hers in all semester. My failing final grade has already been finalized. 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 dropped my physics class because I thought I bombed the 50% second midterm test. I got my results an hour after dropping online. I finished with an 83. I can't get back into the course. FML
Today, I finally found out why I got a D in a class last semester. It was a heavily attendance-based class, and apparently he only marked you present if you participated in class discussion. It was a 100-seat lecture. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ummm really? I find this a tiny bit hard to believe... the professor of the class you were going to never once, not even on the first day, took attendance?

This is completely believable, especially if it's a GenEd requirement. There are dozens of sections of the same class and none of them would take attendance. It sucks that it happened, but even if it's believable it's your fault for not making sure you were in the right class section.

does your class not take attendance?

What kind of university level class takes attendance? Are you guys in high school or something? This FML is completely believable. I feel really bad for the poster. =( I'm sure if you explained the situation, they could fix it... somehow...

#38 and everyone else claiming that university profs ALWAYS take attendance at least once, this is not the case. At all. I'm a month away from being finished my 4th year at a top tier university, and in this entire time I've had 3 classes which took attendance, and they've all been seminar classes of less than 10 people. Lectures (especially psych lectures, which are notoriously huge) can have hundreds of people in them; I've had classes with over 800 students in them. No prof is going to waste the time calling out 800 names, even once. To the OP, this sucks! Go to your academic counsellor and see if you can get switched into the class.

I don't know what university you guys who are asking "this must be fake, surely the prof would have taken attendance" go to, but that certainly isn't my experience. I don't think I've ever had attendance taken in any of my classes.

#52- are you in high school? You don't get in trouble for missing class. Your professors could usually care less if your there or not especially if it's a large lecture class.

LMAO! #6 is right. You deserved that.

Lmao. You must be an idiot to not realize that the course number doesn't match up to your own. Seriously, you should have even gotten a syllabus that describes the course, and you should have been able to see that it is not what you signed up for.

...dear God. The idea makes me cringe but you deserve it. If you have been turning in assignments throughout the school year your NAME would have been on it and while attendance may not be taken in larger colleges a professor can't ignore a name that isn't on their roster. This doesn't sound credible.
