I love living in my house with 5 of my best friends. There is constantly someone that you can vent or cry to, someone to laugh with, someone to binge watch Netflix with, someone to go get Starbucks with etc. It is truly amazing. However, we do have our moments in college that are far from perfect. We slip up a lot and sometimes life just doesn't go exactly as we plan it. The key to finding success in life's little failures, however, is using humor and optimism to learn from your mistakes and carry on.
So, without further ado, I give you a complete compilation of 20 of my house's most notable fail quotes in a 24 hour period:
1. "I brought oatmeal to class today. In an R-Taco margarita cup."
2. "Should I just wait it out and not shower until tomorrow [Thursday]?"
"When was the last time you showered?"
"Monday."
"Oh, yeah! You're good dude."
3. "I have taken three naps today. How the HELL am I still tired?"
4."I am eating soup right now just so I don't have to dirty another utensil. Just let it happen."
5. "Oh my gosh! I set down my brownie for a second, and I thought I lost it! I was so worried. I found it though. We're good."
6. "My brain is in Africa right now."
7. "Today I was trying to open a bag of chocolate bark that I had already opened earlier this week and the seal literally resealed. This is God telling me I need a diet."
8. "I was telling the woman I volunteer for my upcoming availability and I gave her two days that passed last week. I confused the hell out of Linda and I don't even know what month it is."
9. "I haven't slept. At all. Like I didn't go to bed last night."
10. "I submitted my assignment two minutes before it was due. Then I left our house to go to that class late."
11. "I misplaced my phone case for two days. Like how do you misplace that? It's always on your phone!"
12. "*crying from the bright sun, limping to class from shoes, and haven't showered in four days* My class definitely thinks I'm a homeless towny that just shows up to this class."
13. "I saw a ginger and 100 percent thought it was our neighbor so I said 'hi.' It was not our neighbor."
14. "I've worn the same pair of leggings this entire week. Literally every single day."
15. "We bought five packs of the wrong containers to make jello shots."
16. "Yesterday I had a presentation that I made the night before it was due. I knew about it since the first day of this semester."
17. "I always feel like people can't see me when I wear glasses. Like hah! I can see you, but you can't see me. Then I remember they can. They can see me."
18. "I constantly sit front and center in all of my classes like right in front of my professors. Then I always fall asleep in class and it's just bad."
19. "I overdrew my account for the second time. I was charged $100 that I do not have."
20. "I was supposed to be charged $100 for missing this meeting. Then I ended up going to the hospital. So really I ended up paying like $2000 for an excuse to miss this meeting."
Life is a journey. There are a lot of steps to get you to where you're ultimately going. It's easy to stumble and fall on those steps along the way, but remember to dust your knees off, laugh about it, and keep on trudging forward.
