Today, while e-mailing my dream college, I noticed you can see other people's profile pictures when I saw a lady I've met before. I've been using this e-mail account to communicate with all the colleges and universities. My profile picture is baby Elmo. FML

Today, I got an email from my cute teacher about reminding us to bring stuff for the next lesson. As a joke I clicked on reply and wrote about how I think he is so cute and handsome. Right then and there I clicked to go look at other messages. A little box came up..."MESSAGE SENT". FML

Today, I noticed that the roommate application site for college bugged when I first signed up, and my screen name and real name were swapped as a result. Since the site only displays the names of potential roommates and not our own, I've been unknowingly messaging potential roommates as Parakeet19 for about 2 months. FML

Today, I had a very important video call for my job. I hadn’t used the particular app in a long time so I hadn’t checked my screen name. Turns out the last time I used it was in March with my friends, and my name was "Euro Slut." My employers saw it. FML

Today, I realized that the guy I've been sending anonymous, dirty emails to knows who I am. My signature, which includes my full name, was automatically added to the end of every email. FML

Today, I finally exchanged pictures with the woman I've been seeing online for some time now. She replied, saying "Thats not funny. Some people actually look like that." I sent my real picture, and thought I actually looked pretty good in it. FML

Today, I was on Instagram and I sent a meme to my other account. Tell me why as soon as I switched over and saw my one chat notification, I got excited, then remembered I'd just sent myself a meme. FML

I can't imagine they would do anything more than chuckle and show it to a friend. Chances of them keeping you out because of a funny email pic are as low as my self esteem

"Educate Me" Elmo? That's a new one. Well let's get him into our university and see what happens.

This is kinda funny. I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying you deserved it because you didn't know but when contacting college or potential employers it's always better to have "formal" e-mail account. Hope they will be understanding OP

could have been SO much worse! Especially if you didn't realise others could see it! Don't worry OP

It's a profile picture. That in itself implies that it's for others to see...

it's time to start adulting you need an email that involves your real name and you only use it for the real business in your life, dealing with colleges, employers, creditors and such.
