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, 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

Well, you're smart right? They're probably very proud, but have that expectation of you.

Welcome to the unfortunate elite, those people who actually have 2 brain cells to rub together and are above stupid things like reality TV. Congratulations and good luck! Don't let these idiots ruin your moment.

You'll be at Harvard for several years, and lawyer the rest of your life after that. American Idol is on and gone. Give them a break.

I don't believe this at all, I seriously doubt the child raising potential of anyone who finds American Idol engaging. The reality is. Today, I was accepted into barber barber college. 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. They picked Danny but I like Kris.

"I was accepted to Harvard Law, but this happened, so FML?" Wow. I wonder if Harvard got a sense of how petty and ridiculous you are before they accepted you.
