FML...How to get up when you've been knocked down...

Recently I have been feeling like the life has been sucked out of me...therefor I'm going to use this time to vent. For those of you who want to listen (read I guess) please stay, if you don't want to hear about some college (almost graduates) problems then just leave now. Look at this post as the part of the wedding when the priest (or whoever) says "does anyone object for the marriage of these two speak now or forever hold your peace" but instead of speaking it would be leaving. Lets just pretend like that all makes sense. Ok back to what this post is all about....

Have you ever felt like everything you do is just wrong? Well that's how I've been feeling lately and I don't even know why....well maybe I have some clue as to why. Let me start from the top...(started from the bottom now we here):

  • FML #1 of the week: I have been a co-op at the same company for 1.5 years and I am graduating college this Sunday (woooo...kinda). All these job posting keep coming available that I'm sorta not really interested in.Let me explain, I'm getting my degree in marketing and I love marketing therefore I want a marketing job. Yes I know that getting a job in your field is hard and blah blah blah. But hear me out...a job was posted for a half administration half sales coordinator position and naturally I didn't want to apply because it isn't marketing. But when the hiring manager went and spoke to my director about me applying I figured I would apply because they are obviously interested in me and I think they are looking to hire me. So I apply, I update my portfolio, I have a 2 hour interview....and then I don't get the job. Really? You didn't hire me after indirectly asking me to apply. FML
  • FML #2 of the week: I have 4 classes this semester of which 3 are in class and 1 is online. You would think that my online class is easier than my 3 in classes which consist of Management Strategy, Management Strategy & Policy and International Management. Nope....you're right, my online class is TERRIBLE! Talk about throwing an unfamiliar program at someone and telling them to complete 3 projects with no program instructions. So my online class is now kind of over since I took my TWO finals online but I still have one last group project to finish ... oh and I graduate on Sunday. FML
  • FML #3 of the week: Our Christmas tree fell and it is currently just hanging out in the middle of our living room. Read the post here. My mom and I can't fix it because it's too heavy to take outside and do whatever needs to be done to it to be fixed so we have to wait for my dad to come home and fix it...on Friday. So till then we have a random Christmas tree just taking a nap in the middle of our living room. FML.
  • FML #4 of the week: I went to Ulta last night to buy some makeup and hair stuff because I'm trying to experiment with new brands and products. I was just wandering around the store for about an hour and I picked up a few good things such as a new gel eyeliner, BB cream (first one ever), little travel size shampoo and conditioners of a brand I've been wanting to try, some face lotion, and some other little stuff....that equaled $81!! Talk about a FML because I didn't realize I had picked up this much stuff. And boyfriend, if you're reading this and are currently mad that I spent $81 on makeup and hair stuff, just remember how much money you lost at the casino. FML.
  • FML #5 of the week: Friday I have my work Christmas party at a really nice restaurant called XO and we all obviously need to dress up and look our best. Well, I have nothing to wear and I want to wear a dress. We can add this to the FML list of the week. Oh and I need a dress for my graduation on Sunday....what does one wear to a college graduation in December anyways!? FML.

Thanks for reading my list of FML's for the week, mind you it's only WEDNESDAY! Ahh this week just needs to get better or be over. Yep there it is my first venting FML post and my first post with no pictures. And I don't even care because just.... FML.

  2. Back in 2009, I applied for a job in like April. Due to change in manager and other store things, they ended up calling me for an interview in August - 4 months later. I was so excited! Had the first interview that went perfect. They brought me in for another, again perfect. Someone called me and basically said I got the job...until I politely mentioned I was having a small surgery on my foot a few weeks later but would be able to start not long after. I was so sad when they never called back. I hated the one online class I had, it was Nutrition, blah. It was so hard to talk with the teacher and she wouldn't email back until it was too late. After that I said I wasn't doing it again.

    1. Oh my gosh, that job interview experience sounds terrible. Ugh, it's just so annoying at times. All hiring managers have been in our shoes before so I don't understand why they are so rude sometimes. As in for the position I applied for, they were the ones that indirectly asked me to apply and then they hire someone else.

      My online class was a disaster, I've had other online classes that were great but this one was terrible. But it's better now since I'm done with school now....thank goodness.

  3. Screw everything with all your FML's this week, you should buy an awesome Christmas Party dress and then wear it under your gown for your graduation, thus you can justify... but the dress is for two very special occasions.

    1. I agree! I will definitely be dress shopping on Friday, I hope my guy can deal with a little dress shopping for an hour or so.
