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 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, despite having glowing recommendations, stellar grades, and an impressive resumé, I was rejected by all 15 colleges that I applied to. No explanation or reasons have been given, and it's too late to apply to any more. FML

Today, I was excited to receive a rejection letter, because this was the first company to even acknowledge that I sent them a resume. FML

Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML

Today, I was walking with a friend to tell him how excited I was for college and even motivating him to apply for the same school, until I found out later that I got rejected. FML

Yeah, this could have been way worse. It could have been an acceptance letter. From Bob jones university BJU (actual university). Op realizes all those years he actually was worth it and the drug crazed booze filled downward spiral he's been on was completely unnecessary.

I just hope you haven't been waiting for that letter this whole time to start your carreer and apply to another College

Well it was a rejection letter so it really didn't matter if you got it earlier you weren't going there anyways. Don't wanna be a dick but that's the truth unfortunately :(

I'm sorry, it won't happen again. Strangely enough, I'm really a sweet guy who does his best to help people and make them feel better -- perdix is my alter ego that lets my inner dick run wild.
