Battle of the Ivy League FMLs

FML. Those 3 letters have quickly worked their way into our daily vocabularies after the birth of fmylife.com. If you’re not aware of the site, all I can say is treat yourself to an FML, get out more. Harvard felt the need to have its own FML. Yale followed suit recently. Should Princeton establish one? I posed this question to a fellow classmate recently and received the response: “YES. We have grade deflation! Harvard gives out A’s like candy!” In any case, whether we choose to lament over our lack of A’s or other woes, I hope that Princetonians would be better at constructing FMLs than our counterparts: “Sometimes I don’t have time to pee in the morning. FML” (Yale) or “I did not have time to go to CVS to buy shampoo, so I washed my hair with a bar of soap. Hey, at least I washed my hair, right? FML” (Harvard). Harvard, shampoo is soap! Come on, Princeton, we should be able to do better than this!
