Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML

Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML

Today, my mom called and told me I got accepted to my first-choice college. I got really excited and asked her to read me the letter. As she started to read it, she said, "Oops... uh, nevermind." FML

Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML

Today, I was excited because I was going to get my college decisions back. I put all of the letters in order of my preference. Didn't get into my first choice. Denied from my second choice. Rejected from my third choice. Wait listed on my back-up. Accepted for a job at Target. FML

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

If the rejection letter comes in a big envelope, I'd hate to see how the acceptance letter arrives. Maybe an owl delivers it?

Damn that's harsh, I wouldn't expect a large envelope to be mailed as a rejection letter. That's a bit deceptive.

Everyone expects the big envelope to be acceptance. That was cruel.

It seems they jumped the shark a bit and eliminated the possibility of "Third time's a charm?"

And if you get a full paid scholarship they pull up in a limo made out of diamonds.

Flying car. You spent a lot building a car out of diamonds, the least you can do is make it fly.

That just means the colleges weren't right for you. I sent ten applications and only got one response in general.

Today, my husband has been out partying all night. While my in-laws didn't ask him a single question, earlier I received more than six calls from them about when I'll be home to cook and clean. Where was I? In the office for the first time after working from home for past 3 years. FML
