“ Fell in love with my best friend and soon to be block mate. Went way too far into the friend zone that I’ve lost hope she’ll ever be interested in me. It literally kills me inside when she talks to me about the guys she likes. Why do girls always go after the “cute” guys and not the guys who genuinely care about them? Obviously the major reason why I’m in this position is due to my lack of self-confidence and inability to read girl’s signals. I came to Harvard thinking my love life would improve because the girls here would be into caring, smart, normal guys. All I’ve done is turn myself into the “nice” best guy friend. FML

“ One of my blockmates told another blockmate that I was trying to kick that blockmate out of our blocking group, but I was actually just weighing in on the all the possible options of our difficult blocking situation and eventually decided to push that we should break off so no one is kicked out and everyone would be happy. But now that blockmate is angry at me despite my good intentions. FML

“ Blocking drama. Subjects a mess. Summer applications in an over-competitive environment. Feeling like a general failure. Just a typical, average/below-average Harvard student. FML.

“ My socially awkward roommate just brought up blocking groups for the third time this week. She is not friends with my friends, and I quite frankly don’t want to live with her three more years. But she assumes we will block together. FML

“ I am a member of a sports team, two pseudo-fraternal organizations, and a co-ed and very social organization. I blocked with seven of my close guy friends, I’m always the life of the party, and I can bring a girl back to my dorm any time I go out. But for some reason, I have never felt more alone in my entire life. FML

“ Cop parked in a bike lane ticketed me for not riding in the lane he was blocking when I rode around his car. FML

“ I finally balled up to friend my crush on facebook. He accepted my friend request but everything on his page is blocked. All I got was viewing his profile picture in a bigger size, and learning that he is in a relationship. FML

“ He used to be my anchor. At some point (I can’t figure out exactly when) he turned into a concrete block attached to my ankle. FML

“ DAMN Yeah - I got Pfoho!!! FML? Absolutely NOT!!!! Then what’s the problem? Everyone in my blocking group has midterms and papers to do, when we should be celebrating. PFML

“ I started screaming when I heard people chanting Quincy and pounding on our door. It was for my roommate, who’s blocking in another group. Then the Cabot reps came. FML

“ I pushed my blocking group to let a guy with whom I used to hook up into our group because he had nowhere else to go. Now that the group is final, he’s acting like a complete jerk. That’s what I get for trying to be nice. FML
