Today, I wrote a 2000 word essay on "Las Vegas - The City That Never Sleeps". I was proud of my work, until someone pointed out that New York is "The City That Never Sleeps", not Vegas. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML
Today, after submitting a 500-word essay to a writing contest, I found out that I lost to someone who wrote 3 sentences. FML
Today, I realized I forgot to write a 5000 word essay for my English class. I tried to be calm since I had until midnight to finish, and it was only 8pm. I typed for three hours straight,and finished the assignment. I read over the instruction again, and realized it only had to be 500 words. FML
Today, after finishing a two hour essay exam that will determine the future of my career, I realized I misread the question. FML
Today, I’m in Las Vegas on vacation with my boyfriend and his dad. After staying in his dad’s dirty, dusty, toilet-broken Arizona cabin, we’re now in a cheap, shady, smoke-filled Vegas motel. I’m picking the hotels next time. FML
Today, I was so tired at work that I typed out "wherehouse" instead of "warehouse" in a document shared with my co-workers. It took me several seconds to realize why the heck the spell checker had underlined "wherehouse" in red. FML
Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish an essay. I submitted it one minute before the deadline. Later, I opened the file to double-check and realized I'd uploaded my rough draft, containing notes like “THIS PART MAKES NO SENSE, FIX LATER.” The professor then replied, “I agree with your assessments.” FML
Today, I submitted my 5000 word assignment. When I got home, my mother asked if I'd checked it through one more time like she always warned me to do. I hadn't, therefore hadn't noticed the paragraph on page 11 that she'd written, telling me to pay attention to the small details. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I got an A+ on a writing assignment. My teacher asked me three times if I really did write this article myself, and didn't memorise an article from the Internet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You could argue that Las Vegas is also a "city that never sleeps", since people stay up all night gambling or out at clubs. However, Las Vegas is usually recognized as "Sin City" and the slogan is "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas".

Just add one word to the title and it'll look original and clever: "Las Vegas - The City That Never Sleeps Either". Problem solved!

@19 I second this idea.

I was thinking, "The OTHER City That Never Sleeps". Of course this all hinges on the OP having written an essay about Las Vegas using all facts that are true for Vegas, not NY. LOL

I think you're missing the obvious alternative. Try 'Las Vegas: Bright Light City.'

That is the smartest thing to do. Easy like it sounds.

Circle the "Never Sleeps" and draw an arrow pointing towards your name. Solved.

maybe you should do your research
Fragmonto 5
omg! you should've been checked that first, I think you can edit it anyway, right?
Yekutiel 7
You should've checked your grammar first.
kyliebear 15
You can edit it?! What kind of statement/question is that?! They did a WHOLE 2000 word essay on LAS VEGAS, instead of NEW YORK. You can't just go through and change Las Vegas to New York..the information included would be about Las Vegas, and they would have to erase the whole thing!!
CatastrophePen 5
Or, you know, delete the part that says "the city that never sleeps." That would save a lot of time. especially since their essay is on Las Vegas and not The City that Never Sleeps
extrasnipes 22
or.. change the city that never sleeps to something like party city

Seriously 24?? You really think 4 was incorrect? #4 used your properly as you're is a contraction for you are. An example of the proper usage of this contractions is: 24, you're a moron.

If the phrase is relevant to the contents of your essay, I don't see the problem. If it is irrelevant, why did you put it in the title in the first place?
leushqua 2
true
jennakat01 7
Umm. If the title was relevant then he would need to redo the whole essay. If it was irrelevant then there would be no problem. I'm sure you meant that but if it wasn't then please tell. :)
