Sometimes you just need to laugh at yourself.

8 Things Only Clumsy-Ass People Understand

The life of Paige is an embarrassing tale. I hope that people relate because I cannot be the only clumsy ass person out there.

1. You have countless embarrassing stories of falling in front of everyone.

During Homecoming week at my high school, the seniors would stay at school super late on Thursday night decorating the atrium of the school. My senior class chose an under the sea theme. We had blue streamers all around the atrium and when I got to school the next morning someone had put a big pool float right in my line of walking. I tripped on it and fell into the senior zone in front of my whole class. I tore down like all the streamers on that part of the square and a big sign we had hung. I just got up and went to my group of friends like nothing happened. When I went to class people we're like "the damn, disrespectful freshman tore down our sign and streamers" and I was like "oops that was me. My clumsy ass fell."

2. You're always the one to spill your drink.

On Halloween one time, we had hot chocolate after tricker treating at my friend's house (not telling you how old I was ;) #nevertooold), and I spilled my boiling hot chocolate all over my friend and her mom. They were trying not to scream; I could tell.

3. Every time you wear heels you just know you're going to fall out in some embarrassing way.

At graduation, I was PRAYING that I'd stay upright on my 2 left feet as I crossed that stage. Not to mention Prom presentation, high heels long dress. I was really holding on to my date or it would've been another story on my list.

4. You don't get up to go to the bathroom in class solely because you're scared you will trip or fall or die or something.

"Niagara falls" "Rushing water" "open faucet" still not enough to get me to get up.

5. Having to laugh away the tears when someone gets mad at you for spilling something.

Look I didn't choose the clumsy life the clumsy life chose me.

6. You always have random scratches and bruises all over your body.

*inspects knee* how did that get there?

7. You always fall on the stairs even when you're being careful.

Whether you slip and fall right on your butt or fall on your face, it is equally painful.

8. Tripping on air is an everyday occurrence.

What did I just trip on there was literally nothing there?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
