Today, I saw a letter from Geneseo that invited me to apply to the honors college. Excited, I wrote the required two page essay on how I am organized. I then saw the strict deadline was March 15th. My little brother thought it would be funny to hide my mail. For the past seven weeks. 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 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 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, 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 excited to hear that I received three of my grad school recommendations in the mail from a very busy professor. They need to be submitted sealed, and of course, my nosy mom decided to open them. 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 went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML

Today, I got a letter from Yale law school saying I got a 4 year full scholarship. I called my dad crying and read the whole thing... even the bottom, which said, "April fools! Love mom and dad." FML

I'm in the honors college and Geneseo so that really blows that your brother did that, its a nice 2,000 a year. If you would've gotten in as a freshman, chances are you can try to get in as a sophomore.

#11 lol what the hell was the point of posting that? so you can get other people to sob along to your pathetic story about how god "convicted" your girlfriend to break up with you? this aint your personal blog. anyways, with an essay as lame as "how organized you are," you probably wouldn't have gotten into any honors program anywhere.

#48 Most colleges give you a prompt that you have to follow, or at least a set topic to write about. I highly doubt OP just said "OOOOOO Honors college?! Let me write about how organized I am!"

Every 'honors' program at any college I've gone to or heard of was a stupid joke. All it usually means is you write an extra paper about your feelings for about 2 classes per year. Most of the honors students I knew are dumbasses because the really smart people didn't want to bother with those lame programs, because real honors programs like Tau Beta Pi (for engineers) don't require application - but are based on merit in college.

Well, I'm in the honors program at Geneseo and they definitely e-mail you reminding you to submit your essays so it's your fault.

Report him to a postal inspector or the police. That's a federal offense and he can go to prison. Or, put Imodium in his food for seven weeks. He'll have horrible constipation the entire time.
