14 College Students Told Me Their Most Embarrassing Moment From Freshman Year And...WOW
Hannah Goldberg

Whether it be accidentally taking someone else's order at the coffee shop, tripping up the stairs on my way to class, getting lost in the Humanities building, or looking orange after my spray tan, I've had my fair share of embarrassing moments. Embarrassment afflicts all of us. We just have to embrace it, and we'll end up laughing about it in the long run.

1. "I dropped and broke a bowl full of sausage links in the middle of the dining hall."

2. "I wanted to say hi to a guy, but ended up slipping and basically sliding on my knees into him just to find out he was talking to another girl. I got up and sprinted out of there."

3. "I got locked out of my room after I showered, and I was only in a towel. I had to wait 15 minutes for my RA to get the master key to unlock it."

4. "I had Psych 453 — Human Sexuality — with the boy I lost my virginity to."

5. "I dropped my lace underwear while carrying my laundry up to my dorm room."

6. "I showed up to a frat when there was no party because I thought it was on Friday, not Thursday, and they kicked us out."

7. "I dropped a pencil over the railing on the top floor of the union. It fell onto a table of people, and they all looked up at me."

8. "I lost my student card and then found it underneath clothes in my room after I had just bought a new one."

9. "I was carrying bags of food through the dining hall with mainly upperclassmen, and all the bottoms ripped."

10. "I fell asleep in class and got yelled at by my professor."

11. "I didn't realize I was taking a class for honors credit, and then I realized in the last week and dropped the honors on the last day of the semester."

12. "I sprained my ankle jumping off a second floor balcony."

13. "I fell asleep in my friend's room, and when I woke up, they all told me I was snoring."

14. "I turned in a Philosophy paper and realized I put the title as 'F*** This.' I got a point for creativity."

College is the golden opportunity to do something embarrassing. It happens to all of us, and these moments will make for the best stories later on.

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.
