There are two types of people in the world: the coordinated, and the uncoordinated. Here are 15 that all us clumsy folks know all too well.

Tripping over your own feet

Because most people learn how to walk before the age of 2…but we still struggle.

Not quite clearing a doorway

Your shoulder has more than grazed a doorframe too many times.

Accidentally causing a scene in public

Because sometimes we spill or break something when a bunch of people are around

Spilling a drink all down the front of you

“Do you have a hole in your chin?” HA HA

Tripping both up and down the stairs

Whether it be up or down, all clumsies have had many terrifying experiences with stairs.

One too many broken dishes

This is pretty self-explanatory. Just call me butter-fingers.

Shirts with food stains

Again with the eating and drinking thing…it’s not always as easy as we plan on it being.

Severely stubbed toes

This goes hand-in-hand with the bruised shoulders

Many unidentified bruises

Similar to the door and stubbed toes, you can’t help but occasionally fall down or run into things.

Small reactions to mishaps

Whereas normal people may get upset over a spilled drink or a public mishap, we tend to shrug it off as just another daily occurrence.

Beat up phones

Because sometimes even with a case, your phone can see some wear and tear when dropped a million times.

Scuffed shoes

It’s hard to have nice things when you are likely to screw them up by tripping over your own feet.

Lacking embarrassment when others experience your clumsiness

We spend so little time worrying what others think, because after all, those who love us know our faults.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:
