10 Things Clumsy People Know All Too Well
Journey Of A Million Words

Are you able to walk from point A to point B without any accidents?

Can you run without tripping on air?

Are you able to perform basic tasks with ease?

If you answered no to any of these questions, you're not alone. There are so many basic tasks I can't complete without incident, and that's okay. (I think so anyway.) Everyone is clumsy once in a while, some more than others. Here are 10 things that you know to be true if you're almost too clumsy to function.

1. Carrying multiple objects at once is a challenge.

A lot of people have difficulty with this, but if you're as uncoordinated as I am, it's definitely not something you want to do every day. Even the laziest clumsy person will resort to multiple trips to avoid the embarrassment of dropping things in front of people.

2. You would never survive in a horror movie.

You think you're going to run away from that scary thing chasing you? Think again. You're dead meat, pal. Hopefully you can muster up some master plan to crawl away or something, once you're down you probably won't be getting back up anytime soon.

3. You somehow hurt yourself almost every day.

One way or another, you've got some sort of injury. Whether it's a paper cut, a stubbed toe, a bruise you don't even remember getting, or even a broken bone.. No matter how hard you try, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen to you. Make sure you have a first-aid kit handy.

4. You lack basic coordination skills.

No matter how hard you try, your equilibrium is always off and this is what leads to most of your ridiculous injuries. You hand-eye coordination sucks, so sports are always a challenge. We're the people that always get picked last in gym class. It's okay though, at least we try.

5. Because of that, you can't walk in a straight line.

You can be sober AF and still sway and stumble. Hopefully you never get pulled over.

7. Everything is an obstacle.

We try our best though, so A for effort.

8. You literally trip over EVERYTHING

Air, pebbles, curbs... Air. But we recover gracefully and that's all that matters.

8. You typically wear (or drop) more food than you eat

This happens to me all the time. There's literally nothing worse than eating before you go out and getting something on your shirt. No matter how hard you try, it'll happen. Make that napkin a bib and hope for the best. Also, try to keep food away from the edge of the table.

9. You've learned how to laugh at yourself

After the first few times of falling, you start to learn that you just can't be embarrassed anymore. Besides laughter is the best medicine, especially when you hurt yourself real bad.


10. Regardless, you're still freakin' awesome.

No matter how many times you hurt yourself or drop things, you are awesome.


Be proud of who you are, you clumsy mess.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
