Top Ten: HarvardFML

Posted by on October 6, 2009 at 11:32 am

It’s one o’clock on Tuesday morning, and as my roommates and I give into procrastination, HarvardFML gets another hit. As they read each one out loud, I realize I am sitting here saying the words along with them even though the page is not open in my Firefox browser. It is then that I realize that I have visited the site so many times that I have memorized them. Every single FML that has been posted has been ingrained into my memory instead of the twenty amino acids I should be memorizing for Life Sci. Now that is a reason to say it. FML.

In the spirit of tonight’s late night realization, and in honor of the two-week anniversary of HarvardFML’s official launch, Noice presents, in no particular order, its top ten FMLs—these are the ones to commit to memory. After the jump!

  1. Today my TF asked if I could read. FML
    Can you?
  2. The lady who cleans Lamont overnight knows my name. And sometimes she shares her Red Bull with me. And by sometimes, I mean 2-3 times a week. FML
    Red Bull + Lamont = Classic Combination. Your life is looking up.
  3. I sat down for my 5th interview in a day yesterday with one of the founding partners of a prestigious hedge fund. He was in a wheelchair. When I couldn’t figure out the answer to a probability question, I tried to change the topic so I asked him, “So what happened?” FML
    Dare we ask… did you get the job?
  4. I’ve been working on Orgo for so long, I wrote my name as “Chem” at the top of the page. FML
    Maybe if that becomes your nickname, your TF will give you extra credit for obvious devotion.
  5. Today I went to UHS because I had a stomachache. They told me I had a miscarriage. I’ve never even had sex. FML
    At least you didn’t have swine flu!
  6. Today I saw the sun rise… through the big-panel windows of Lamont Cafe. FML
    Big Shoutout to Lamont which seems to get more FML recognition than Orgo and bad hook-ups combined.
  7. When I eat a burrito at Boloco, I feel like cheating on Qdoba. FML
    Chipotle is feeling slightly left out of the mix.
  8. Today, I realized that the only guy who calls me ‘beautiful’ and/or compliments my outfit is John, the homeless guy who stands outside CVS. FML
    Remember that Noice is checking you out too.
  9. Thursday in section, I called my TF ‘Mommy’. FML
    It’s the “Mommy” distinction and not just “Mom” that spirited this one into the top ten. Are you the same person who’s TF asked if they could read? These two are eerily related.
  10. I woke up at 4:30 for a flight and we just found out that we have to wait anywhere from 10-60 minutes for a group of passengers on another flight. Everyone else grumbled, I realized I could keep reading FML and fist-pumped. FML
    We feel your pain… or is it pleasure?

All we know is that HarvardFML is providing procrastination like no other. Keep the complaints coming Harvard! It’s what we do best.
