Today, while studying liver pathology and highlighting important lines in my textbook, I realized that I could count the number of words I hadn't highlighted on one hand, over the last six pages. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I checked over my notes from yesterday's midterm review so I could study for the test on Monday. It seems I was so exhausted, I'd done nothing but scribble unintelligibly all over the first page. FML
Today, I was taking a test and thought I was doing great until I realized I was writing all my answers on the question paper, not the answer sheet. By the time I noticed, there were only five minutes left. FML
Today, my OCD reached a new high when I used a correction pen to white-out an eyelash which was photocopied onto every single page of my reading material. I did it because the eyelash was too distracting and I couldn't finish reading the article without the urge to rip it into shreds. FML
Today, I just studied for 13.5 hours completely outlining a book for history. Thirty minutes before the test, I realized I had been reading the wrong book. FML
Today, I realized how much I'm on the computer. I tried to "CTRL+Z" on something I wrote down on my paper. FML
Today, I was reviewing for a major nursing school exam I have this week. I panicked because none of the material seemed familiar, and figured that I must've missed something during class and now had to catch up. After 4 hours, I finally realized that I'd been studying from the wrong textbook. FML
Today, while studying with the girl I like, I rested my face on my book, pretending to be frustrated. When I lifted my head, I realized I'd left a greasy spot on the page from my nose. She noticed. 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, while correcting essays, I spilled ketchup on a student's paper. I managed to successfully turn it into a happy smiley face but when proudly looking at the result, noticed it was right next to the big "F" that I had graded it. FML
Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just go on and highlight the book at this point. It's all kind of important.

I am wierd but I like to photocopy the halter or section I am reading so I can highlight it and then I go Ito the book and re read it and highlight again the important parts if what I though were the original important parts.

That's the medical profession. Everything is important. You want a challenge? Try learning about more than just one species.

Next time, skim the section/chapter, look at the review questions, look ahead to the end of chapter summary and review. Then go back and highlight the things that seem important. When I highlight things, I try to only highlight the most important parts of the sentences and ignore the rest of it. And I highlight the footnotes because those don't usually jump out at me.

Sorry but that's not good, OP. you aren't the only one since I have a college friend that did that but the point of highlighting is to get the main theme/point of each paragraph so you can do a quick reference without rereading. It's important to learn how to take notes correctly.

Has anyone ever noticed that almost every username on FML matches the FML itself?
