Today, I was accepted to Harvard's law program. Prestigious right? After hearing the good news the only thing my parents talked about over dinner was who they wanted to win American Idol: Adam, Kris or Danny. FML

Today, I got my acceptance letter from Harvard University. Yay! Unfortunately, I sent it as a joke, never thinking I'd get accepted and I have absolutely no way to get there, or the money to pay for it. 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, 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

Today, I excitedly told my mom how I got accepted to the master’s program of my dreams. She decided now would be a good time to proudly repeat for the millionth time how she gave up a full ride to the Ivy League to marry my father, and I ought to be a "good woman" and do the same. FML

Today, my parents want me to become a lawyer, all because our family members keep getting into feuds and court cases. I'm a successful developer, and run my own company. FML

Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML

Today, when taking a group picture with my closest friends, a passing parent congratulated us on getting into the same university for next year. She's wrong. They're all going to Cambridge, except for me. I was rejected. FML

Congratulations! Good on you for not getting sucked into that stupid, stupid show. American IDLE... well when you're making the big bucks with your prestigious education, your parents can drive around in their Toyota fretting about trivial BS for the rest of their lives. Go make something great of yours!

And #34, the post said he had JUST told them "the good news". Stop being a prick because you're too big of an idiot to get into a school like that.

How much can you really say about getting into a uni though? There's not much to say. Now American Idol, there's loads to discuss! I WANT ADAM TO WIN!!!!!

American Idol...we destroy America's soul. It is the worst thing to happen to American popular culture ever.

YDI for thinking you're all that. By the way, Danny's a fake. I'm glad he's gone.

Congrats, my friend is graduating from Harvard Law in a couple of weeks, and he's starting a 6-figure job after summer. Unless you drop out, you're set for life. But what do you expect them to say during dinner? After a "congratulations" there's not much more to say.
