8 Things Only Clumsy-Ass People Understand

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?

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
