Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML
Today, it's my 25th birthday and all of the friends who promised they could come had excuses why they couldn't make it. Now I'm at the bar, alone. FML
Today, I had my 21st birthday party. My friends told me to have the party even though it had been 5 months since my actual 21st birthday. They asked me why I didn't have one originally and I jokingly told them it was because I didn't think anyone would come. Turned out nobody came after all. FML
Today, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I'm now in charge of driving my friends home after they've had an awesome night. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Two of my best friends forgot it, and so did my grandparents. All of my friends were busy, so I spent it alone in my car. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. The only person who drank with me was my elementary school principal, who I happened to run into at a bar where we were the only two people there. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday. My roommate insisted her friend join us. They both got belligerently drunk while I was pretty sober. We ended the night at 12am with her friend violently sobbing at the bar over her boyfriend, while I played Subway Surfers. Yay. FML
Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML

#8 finally someone else who understands how karma works and what it is

the definition of karma is basically the principle of cause and effect. This is going by the definition and etymology (sp?) of the word and ignoring the fact it is indeed a Hindu term. People talk like using karma in the slang kinda way is incorrect but it honestly makes perfect sense and it certainly isn't wrong! and it's not even disrespecting Hinduism either...

You can say that you drank to your new friends which you will soon have to make.

oops I accidentally clicked YDI, but I evened it out with a FYL. Sorry. Clumsy fat fingers. The same thing happened to me. We can be friends OP. I'll come to your parties.

Me too! I actually live in Illinois. All my friends moved away for one reason or another recently, so I'm a bit lonely. If you wanna be friends, just message me!

It's okay OP. Revenge can be sweet but Karma is sweeter. ;)

It happened to me on my 21st too, but it wasn't my friends; it was my mother. We don't speak anymore.

You're 21. You can drink legally. So time to go hit some bars and make some new, better friends.
