Miscellaneous: Today, I received a letter saying that I was accepted into university...

Today, I received a letter saying that I was accepted into university and that I qualified for a number of scholarships. Too bad an equivalent sum of money will be spent fixing the car I hit, after spinning out on ice, whilst driving home from said university. FML

Today, I got into my dream university. I also got turned down for the scholarship and the loan that would enable me to actually go. FML

Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML

Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML

Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML

Today, after a lot of effort put into it and finally getting a scholarship, they emailed me saying they can't afford to fund me because they were impacted by the pandemic. I'd already denied other scholarship offers because theirs was the best offer. FML

Today, I spent ages applying for a scholarship online. I found out on the very last page that I do not meet the qualifications for it. 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

Today, I received a full scholarship to the university of my dreams in England. Being born into a fairly poor family, I've never received anything for free and I worked on my grades like a dog last semester to achieve this. However, the scholarship is only valid if the UK stays in the EU. FML

Today, as I was talking to my girlfriend about how I need to find another job to be able to afford school next fall, I hit a deer causing about $3,000 in damages to my car. FML

Could be worse, you could have not gotten the scholarship.

1: YDI for driving without proper insurance. Unless it was entirely your fault, and therefore not covered by insurance, in which case YDI for causing a major accident. 2: YDI for living in Canada and not knowing how to drive on ice, hopefully next time you'll know better.

In the US, if it is entirely your fault, the insurance pays for it. That is kind of the point of having insurance. I have liability, and though it wouldn't cover any damage to my vehicle, it would completely cover the other person's. The reason I have it is because if someone were to hit me, their insurance would have to pay for it. Ive never heard of someone's insurance not covering damages when the accident is the insured's fault.

Okay I'm assuming that insurance isn't like WAY different in Canada, so even though he has probably has insurance, it might be only liability... So those of you saying it's illegal to not have insurance or "ydi for not having insurance", there ya go. Also, OP, you're really going to complain about the scholarship money? Try not getting ANY scholarship money and having to pay for school AND the accident out of pocket... yeah, at least you aren't totally screwed like that.

um..even if they had only liability it would cover the other vehicles damage. That is the whole point of liability. It just would not cover OP's vehicle damage. The whole reason you have liability is in case an accident is your own fault. Full coverage covers both vehicles if it's the insureds fault.
