Today, my high school guidance counselor tried to convince me NOT to go to college, mainly because it's been so long since someone from my high school went to college, that she got rid of all the college information she used to have. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in an attempt to get some guidance from my college advisor, I emailed her, saying I was contemplating going to another school because I felt so helpless about my GPA, and was sure I wouldn't get my major. I asked for advice on raising it. She gave me instructions on how to drop out. FML
Today, I went to see my guidance counselor. I was supposed to hear from my college about a scholarship by October 3rd. I was worried since it was already the 2nd so I went to talk to her. She never turned in my nomination. Goodbye $80,000 scholarship. FML
Today, I went to my little brother's high school to speak to his counselor about his grades. On my way to the office, the office manager threatened to write me up for ditching class and told me that high school is not like middle school, 9th grade will be different. I graduated 5 years ago. FML
Today, I was walking with a friend to tell him how excited I was for college and even motivating him to apply for the same school, until I found out later that I got rejected. FML
Today, I had a conference with my dad, my counselor, and my history and English teachers because my dad was "concerned" about my grades in those two classes. We talked for a while and it was going well, then my counselor asked what I wanted to study in college. I said I wanted to be a teacher. He laughed. FML
Today, I went to my guidance counselor and told her how I'd been fascinated with space since I was 12, had read about the universe and everything, and how I want to be an astrologist when I grow up. She stared at me for a second, before saying, "But you're... stupid." FML
Today, I had a half-hour conversation with my parents about going to college. I don't know what's worse, that they were trying to talk me out of it or that they're convinced that I'm going to get knocked up and drop out by the end of my freshman year. FML
Today, my guidance counselor told me that I'll have to join my school's special education needs sector. This is because I can't attend school properly due to chronic issues with severe pain. So much for my 3.9 GPA and being in the top 5% of my class. FML
Today, I dropped out of college and moved back home to help my mom take care of my younger siblings after our father's death. My mom yelled at me and scolded me and lectured me for throwing my life away, and said this was the last thing she ever wanted me to do. I thought she needed help. FML
Today, I found out the high school I have been doing at home for the past 3 years isn't accredited and doesn't count for anything. I'm 18 and starting high school as a freshman next year. FML

Don't listen to her. Do what you want to do. Not what others tell you do.

Seriously? Almost sounds like a rural Midwest school district. But you should still pursue college.

they only said that because they want you to be as miserable as they are. they went to college and obviously didn't make anything of themselves. it doesn't take much to be a counselor...go to college.

Well that's stupid. Don't listen to her, get your info online. Also, it's *counsellor.

No, it's councelor. I'm not a fan of correcting people but you're an exception.
cptmorgan15 2
And that's what I get for doing it. I make myself look dumber than the original idiot.

Yes, Prissy. Thank you. I had an extremely large brain fart, which resulted in me making an ass out of myself.

counselor counsellor councilor. Oddly all three pass the spell check. Regional variations? Where's Doc? The spelling is giving me a headache.

You're both wrong. It's 'kounsaelure' derived from the Latin word 'unsae' meaning an individual who pretends to know unparalled wisdoms about the vast world outside of high school & yet does not offer much in the way of help of any sort.

@cptmorgan15, well done. moron. It's counsellor where I'm from.
cptmorgan15 2
No need to attack my intelligence. I already pointed out how dumb I look. That's a perfect example of why I don't usually correct others' mistakes. It's not worth it if you make a mistake yourself.

Don't feel bad, I bullshit "intelligence" daily.
