Today, I finally finished my summer assignments for three AP classes. My schedule also arrived. Turns out my school can't place me in any of them, and I just wasted the last four weeks of my summer. FML

Today, I went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML

Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML

Today, I found out that my parents lied to me about my GPA so they could go back on our agreement of "3.0 or above or summer school" and had no intention of honoring the agreement anyway. I've been in summer school doing catch-up for kicks. FML

Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML

Today, I waited two hours in line at college to select my classes. I finally got to the desk, only to be told I have to apply online before I can show up in person. FML

Multitasking

Today, I fucked up my schedule on my final semester so bad I need to take a course from a community college at the same time I'm doing a full-time schedule at my university. This doesn't sound bad, but then the only course I could get into is at the same time as one of my university courses. I can't graduate otherwise. FML

Today, I was notified that I've been going to the wrong courses for 4 weeks. A friend of mine was the only person to tell me that the administration had taken the privilege to change my courses. I have now failed 5 courses due to absences and have been suspended from college for 6 months. FML

Today, whilst cleaning out his desk, my dad "accidentally" threw away my summer homework. That's 100 pages, over a duration of 2 months. School starts in 3 days. FML

In vain

By Anonymous - 05/02/2021 08:01 - Germany - Teningen

Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. FML

Ugh- similar thing happened to me two years ago. I wanted AP Biology and I did the summer homework which involved completely a whole workbook and a 10 page essay. My schedule conflicted with the only bio class so I couldn't take it -.- It was four weeks of your life; don't worry, you'll have more time to play. But yeah, it sucks.

You go to the office and demand it saying you Sid tour work and show them. You get that schedule change!

Go in and talk to the professors. Some professors allow you to join their class if you go in and talk to them. Don't get your hopes up, but it never hurts to try. Best of luck!

I'd complain my ass off until they made it happen. Fight for your right to AP!

Keep trying to get your schedule changed OP. A school should be able to deliver.

Talk to your counselors(or who ever makes the schedules at your school). Be a pain in their butt and move classes around until you can get into all your top priority classes. Don't let lazy school officials who probably didn't even check to see if there was a way to make things work stop you from getting your education.
