Today, the power went out at school. If it's out for more than twenty minutes, standard procedure is to let us go home. They came back on almost nineteen minutes later. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Today, the power went out at school. As a senior, I don't show up until third period. When I got there, I signed in as usual. The office secretary waited until I signed in to tell me that if I hadn't, I wouldn't have to attend classes that day. Now I have to sit in class doing nothing. FML
Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML
Today, the power at work was out. This would be fine, if they didn’t make me stay for another hour to wait for it to come back on in the Texas heat. FML
Today, the power went out to my house a second time after coming on a few days ago due to a series of severe storms that rolled through the area. The first knockout took less than 12 hours. This one? A little over three days in a heat wave. FML
Today, our power went out due to some severe storms. My daughter, who is 18, asked me why the lights on the car still worked. FML
Today, the power in my village went out. This caused the back-up battery powered alarm to go off. Nobody in the house even knew our alarm worked, let alone how to make it stop. It's been going off for over an hour now. FML
Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML
Today, the power went out. Thankfully, it was early in the morning so I should've been able to sleep through it. Then I realized I have an impossible time sleeping during power outages. FML
Today, I was doing an online live exam with the camera on when the power suddenly went out. FML

yeah no sympathy...must be so terrible to actually have an opportunity to better yourself...and judging you based on this post...you need a little bit more practice yet...you cant afford to miss school

And the excessive leaders in your post are incorrect. If you want to judge someone on proper grammar, make sure that you are also correct.

Ah, school back-up generators. Gotta love 'em. But seriously if I was in your situation I would've been like >:O

I don't have the power to feel sorry for you, but the audacity of your bad luck is shocking. I guess your teachers were as in the dark as to what would happen as you were. I'm sure a bulb went off in their heads when they realized how nice it would be to take the day off, but unfortunately the problem was fixed at the last second. Oh well, I'm sure towards the end it was an enlightening experience.

Why are you complaining? It's school. Your life right now is about learning and training your mind. For the rest of your life after school you won't have many opportunities for that unless you seek them out for yourself, on your own time. Be grateful and happy that you actually get to sit and enjoy class, instead of having to drop out to work full-time. You get to wake up and go to a school, where you learn and think and socialize. There's nothing wrong with that.

I love going to school and learning stuff but it is pretty great when you get to go home early for some reason or another :D

It's still better than going home and having to come back on a day that you're supposed to be off. I don't know if your school is that strict but mine was!

*you're* hello kettle meet pot! You are one to talk when you do not seem to be the brightest bulb out there.

I think you mean "You're" and "A lot." Check your grammar and spelling before calling someone else an idiot.
