18 Times I Accepted My Clumsy Fate

Jennifer Lawrence isn't the only one who's good at tripping up stairs.

18 Times I Accepted My Clumsy Fate
How It Works

Grace? That's my middle name.

That's a joke I used to have with my family. We actually still have that joke. Shhhhh.

Here's times that I've given in and just accepted my clumsy fate:

1. When I ran into the door

It happens to the best of us.

2. When I ran into the doorframe

This is probably the best representation of when that happens.

3. When I fell down the stairs

Or slid, either one.

4. When I tripped going up the stairs

Relevant.

5. When I rolled down the hill covered in snow

I definitely was nowhere near as adorable as the panda, but we can all pretend I was.

6. When I fell off a wooden plank and hit my head

And that one time I was roller blading. And that one time you were ice skating (because somehow I haven't fallen while ice skating...yet).

7. When I got a bloody nose in PE by the basketball bouncing off someone's head and landing on my nose

Everyone asked her if she was okay while blood was gushing from my face. No big deal.

8. When I had a "yard sale" wipeout while skiing

It was my last lesson that I ever took. Luckily, my instructor and I just laughed it off and I've been skiing black diamonds ever since.

9. When I stubbed my toe

Can anyone call a "toe truck"?

See what I did there?

10. When I hit my funny bone

I'll go to bed now. Start a new day fresh.

11. When I hit the knobby part of my ankle that apparently doesn't have a name but I hope you know what I'm talking about

The one that once you hit it, excruciating pain makes its way through the body. Yeah, that one.

12. When I fell out of the tree I was climbing

My brother didn't even bother to ask if I was okay.

13. When I tripped over my own foot

It's practically a daily occurrence. I don't even notice it anymore.

14. When I knocked my drink over

Or got hit in the face with it. It's all the same. Still sad.

15. When I slipped on the wet floor

Or if my shoes are wet and I slip on the floor because there's no mats to dry my shoes off on.

16. When I avoided all the puddles but the biggest one

And it always happens to get me completely soaked.

17. When I dropped my phone

Oh my gracious, how adorable is that dog.

Dropping my phone can occur anywhere. The bathroom, my bed, the beach, class, church, my car, the parking lot, out of my pocket, it jumping out of my pocket to fall on the ground. It's a magic maker.

18. Last, but not least, when I fell for no reason

Okay, let's be real, cats falling is one of the funniest things to waste time watching.

Falling for no reason happens all the time, might as well accept it.


Hope you enjoyed my list of agony and got some laughs out of it. Maybe you can relate.

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?

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
