Today, I realized that my Twitter profile was very public when my business professor made fun of student tweets in class. My tweet went, "Totally bullshitting this business report" about the report I'd just handed in, worth a large portion of my grade. FML

Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML

Suspicious minds

Today, my college instructor told me I hadn't actually failed a big exam as he originally said. It turns out he'd mixed me up with another student. Now thanks to the power of gossip, half my class thinks I slept with him so he'd switch my grade with the other student's. FML

Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML

Today, my teacher called a friend and me out of class and told us we had been reported for plagiarism because our answers to a problem were nearly identical, and he said that I shouldn't have shared my work. This for an assignment where significant marks were awarded for collaborating with peers. FML

Today, after extensively researching how to properly use in text citations out of fear of my professor reporting me for citing my quotes incorrectly. She reported me instead for forgetting quotation marks on three of my proudly and properly cited quotes. FML

Today, a classmate posted a recording of a recent lecture on my university's Facebook page, so we could listen again and take notes at home. A few minutes in, I heard myself asking a question. I then heard snorting and some girl muttering "dumb cunt" under her breath. FML

Rule of the thumb: never talk about something this important on social media. It's scary how much more public they are than people know

More important rule of thumb: Don't put anything out on a social network site that you wouldn't want the person involved OR your mom to read about.

I don't know if I'd worry too much. Your professor obviously had a sense of humor. For you, hopefully, lesson learned!?!

"Going to BS my report, what my next clever move? Oh yes! Say it on the Internet for everyone to see!" You so deserve it. Now learn to keep it quiet when you pull a stunt like that instead of childishly bragging about it

OP- in the new millennium, there is NO private information! The sooner you learn that, the sooner you realize shooting off your mouth like that is a very bad idea. Hope your grade is no worse than a "C" because YDI!!
