Did that really just happen? Those embarrassing moments that happen in college that make you laugh later on in life. The wonderful thing about college life is that embarrassing moments become great "one-upper" stories as you and your friends sit in the student union and eat Chickfila. Here are four stories that tell all about the rather awkward yet funny times in college.
"This one is from last semester and it's kind of short and sort of painful but like a funny kind of pain. As you know, I am a very clumsy human being. I can barely walk without tripping over air or my own two feet. Anyway, I love playing soccer and when it's too hot or too cold outside, the only good place to play is at the rec.
So there I go, to the rec to play some indoor soccer. The court is more like a basketball court than a soccer field and it's enclosed by plastic windows. There are two goals on either side. Now, typically when you play, there are far more guys than ladies. Well, this time, it was just me on the court with all the other guys. I'm playing fairly well, you know and as I'm playing, a guy passes me the ball. I juke it passed one guy and the look on their faces was something like, 'how can this short little girl possibly be this' face. As I neared the goal, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I passed the ball and tried to slow my speed down... And then I saw exactly what it was in the corner of my eye, the wall. Slam. My left hand went right into the wall and at full sprint. It sounded much like a car hitting another one and I completely stopped the game. So I was standing there in the middle of the court with a swollen thumb, laughing that I was stupid enough to run into a wall."
"There was the time a couple of my girlfriends and I went dancing at Electric Cowboy in Lewisville a couple of years ago. I was wearing jeans and a top, and, of course my boots. I get really into hip hop dancing, and at one point I dropped it like it was hot. And my jeans split, right at the butt seam. I drove that night and I was so ready to get the heck out of there, but my friends were not ready to leave yet so my friend made me borrow her sweatshirt and I had to tie it around my hips. I definitely didn't dance anymore. I just stood there angrily, looking like a 90's cowboy. Other than that, it was a fun time."
"Alright, let me tell you a story. It's the first semester of my freshman year and it's starting to get colder. We're more than halfway through the first semester and I'm on crutches. These crutches were like a freaking metal death trap. God, crutches are the worst invention. Now, keep in mind, I lived at West and I had to crutch to the bus stop, get on the stupid bus and then I had the horrible experience of getting to my classrooms. It's fall, the leaves are on the ground and as is typical of Texas, the leaves are brown, dead, and suddenly off the trees one day. It's a bright, fall day and I'm making my way to the Language building at 8 in the freaking morning. I don't want to take the long way around (using the sidewalk), so I instead decide to cut through the leaves. As I'm crutching through the leaves, I feel my handles start to slip from my hands... and I know there is nothing I can do to stop it. The crutches go flying out of my hands and I, huge knee brace and all, fly through the air and land in the largest pile of leaves. A bunch of teachers and students see and they all start laughing. There I am covered in leaves, trying to find my crutches in this huge pile of stupid brown leaves. I was late for class, showed up covered in leaves and cursed the infernal metal death traps."
Alright, so here is a story from yours truly. So one night a couple days ago I had to go the ER for respiratory problems and didn't get back on campus until midnight. I decided to go ahead and try to go to class but I was still completely drugged up on pain medication and incredibly tired. I took a little nap and woke up gross and decided to take a much-needed shower. I live in a community bath dorm, so I walk my happy self to the bathroom and take my glorious shower that washed away the night before, and then went back to my room. However, I go to open the door and it doesn't open. I jiggle the door knob some more and I panic. I locked myself out of my dorm in only a towel. I leave my shower caddy at my door and walk down Bruce hall with my head held high as I walk to get the spare key from the front desk. I won't be forgetting my key ever again!
