Whether it's ruining things with the girl you like or destroying your reputation in front of your professor, Mason students have some extremely embarrassing stories to tell. Check out all of the "yikes" moments below.
1.The Not-so-Lucky Charms
“I was super interested in this girl that lived on my floor freshman year, so obviously, to impress her, I swipe her into Southside one night like a total baller. We’d eaten our dinner and had moved onto the endless bowls of Lucky Charms portion of the evening—very big deal. Long story short, she goes to the bathroom and I accidentally sneeze in her cereal, and let me tell you, it was a wet one. She came back and I panicked. I didn’t want to gross her out by telling her my snot was in her cereal, so I just watched her eat the entire bowl. She even drank the milk.”

2. The “Have a Nice Trip, See You Next Fall.”
“At the end of spring semester last year, I was taking a writing course with the head of the Creative Writing Department. He went to Yale, has been published everywhere, and happens to have a particular knack for writing killer letters of recommendation. We were leaving class together, discussing a story I’d written, and while trying to schmooze him, I tripped on that temporary wooden bridge that was up during the Fenwick construction. I was wearing a dress, which obviously came up and revealed my Spiderman underwear. My knee split open and was bleeding profusely down my leg for the rest of our walk across campus. I looked like a complete idiot and needed four stitches.”

3. The Damn Daniel
“ I was on a run and ran up behind this guy that I thought was my friend, Daniel. So naturally I flicked him off and cursed at him. It was definitely not Daniel.”

4. The TA
"I went to Fat Tuesday’s over winter break my sophomore year and ended up hooking up with this guy I met there. He was super nice, but super awkward. He kept blowing up my phone over break, and finally my best friend grabbed my phone and texted him saying ‘you're the worst sex she’s ever had!’ Spring semester starts, and the guy is the TA for my very small Bioengineering class.”

5. The Fainter
“It was my last final before winter break last semester, Math 106. Toward the end of the exam, I started to feel a little dizzy and thought I might throw up, so I rushed through the last five questions. When I stood up to turn it in, I threw up and immediately passed out. I woke up to the entire class staring at me while I laid next to a puddle of my own vomit.”
