Do You Ever Just...

Six embarrassing moments we can all relate to.

Today I dropped my phone through a bench. Actually, no, let's be precise, I dropped my phone through a bench that had an underside that was, well, less than accessible, and then I had to go to class, so my friends constructed a 7-foot pole of sorts with which to retrieve it.

While this entire thing was pretty ridiculous, it seems a little too normal to me at this point in contrast with all of the other equally, if not more spastic and ridiculous things I do on a daily basis.

So to lighten the mood a bit, and perhaps give any readers with finals looming over their heads a quick smile- here's my question--

Do these things ever happen to you?

Here's a list of some, for lack of a more appropriate word, dip-sh$t things I have done; I'm curious if anyone has any rivals--

1. Walk around with your backpack unzipped.

Letting it all hang out- or something? It's not too cute when my accounting notebook is flapping around behind me.

2. Trip on everything.

Sometimes I am just walking down the street and I'll be like on the phone or something and just fall off the side. Or trip. Or roll my ankle a bit and then run away so as to remain inconspicuous- or not.

3. Walk into things.

I have zero depth perception and often run into signs, shelves in the grocery store, shelves in the house, or even shelves with ten million water bottles on them in Nordstrom. Good thing I didn't make them fall.

4. Nearly walk out of the store wearing merchandise you were trying on.

Yesterday I was trying on some jeans and there's the little alarm that is only supposed to go off if you leave the store in them, but instead, it decided to go off while I was pulling them on, which of course alerted the sales girl to come take them from me. I had to yell through the changing room door- "I don't have any clothes on!!" Cute.

5. Crack your voice like a child at the worst moments.

One time I got all excited to answer a question in class, and I raised my hand and everything, and got through half of the first word before my voice cracked like a ten-year-old boy, at which point I tried to clear my throat, which turned into this spastic coughing, and I ended up sounding like I was definitely suffering from a case of whooping cough. This was all prior to actually answering the question, of course. Also cute. Also ridiculous.

6. Accidently climb into your roommate's bed.

For the final excitement of this article, I share possibly my most embarrassing moment with you all. You see, I don't talk to my roommate. Like at all. On any given week we maybe exchange one sentence. So this one morning, I woke up, and I wasn't in my bed. I had no idea where I was, but I definitely was not on my side.

I looked over, and I realized I was sleeping RIGHT NEXT TO my roommate. On HER BED. It later became apparent that I had apparently been sleep walking, though how I ended up sleepwalking there I really have no idea. At least we only have two more weeks together I guess...

So here's to my embarrassing moments, and hopefully yours too. Either you're sitting reading this right now thinking we have to be best friends because you identify with me on a crazy level, or you are thinking- wow, this girl is more ridiculous than anyone I have ever met.

Either way, I hope this provided a little laugh on your Monday.

And hey, it's probable that no one even noticed me doing this stuff- right??

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.
