Practice not being too literal # 26

Question

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

Wow, it was a really hard decision yesterday. Let's see what you can do with this one, "That's the way the cookie crumbles."

Enjoy!

Answer 3

"That's the way the cookie crumbles."

I'd also say "Así es la vida" porque no hay nada que se puede hacer sobre la situación actual.
