Today, my boyfriend told me that he'd feel like a failure if he went to community college. I'm planning to go to community college next year. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my boyfriend what would happen if I didn’t get into the same school as him. He replied, "Then we’ll just break up." We broke up. I still don’t know what school I’m going to. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend why he was dating me. He replied, "Well, there's not a lot of options at this college." FML
Today, my boyfriend got rejected by his dream college. In an effort to comfort him, I told him that he is incredibly smart and that it's their loss. He replied, "Of course you think so, you're an idiot!" FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years accidentally admitted to me that he settled for me because he doesn't think he can do any better. FML
Today, my boyfriend jokingly said that if I didn't pass my exam, he wouldn't have sex with me for a month. I failed it, and now he thinks I did it on purpose. FML
Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML
Today, my boyfriend of almost two years and I broke up. Earlier, we scheduled our classes for senior year to match perfectly. Can't wait. FML
Today, at work, I was told I was a failure. Feeling like crap, I went to my best friend to see if he could make me laugh. He told me that he felt obligated to hang out with me, so he thought that we shouldn't anymore. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to tell my boyfriend that I love him. We've been dating almost a year and in a few days we will be moving into the same apartment building and attending the same college. He said, "I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least you're moving ahead. Don't worry, you'll be fine. :)

College is expensive as hell. You'll save a ton of money by going to a community college and as long as you still get a degree from a good school you'll be fine.

With the price of four year universities these days, community college is a smart move financially.

CC is less expensive, you get all the prerequisites out of the way and it's a way to ease into the college environment.

I would've felt like a failure if I'd gone to community college because it'd been a huge goal of mine to move out of my house ASAP. If I'd gone to the community college right next to my house, I'd still be living at home. I'd always dreamed of going to a university and living in the dorms. It was a silly financial decision, but telling people I was "pursuing my dream" was the only way I could escape my terrible living situation without creating a nuclear family war. An extra bonus: people usually wasted an extra year at my local CC because classes filled up so fast and the scheduling was awful. Sitting around in school for an extra year because I couldn't get into the right classes would make me feel like a failure too. So my point is that there might be more to your bf's story, and he might not be a pretentious prick after all. Just ask him.
