10 Truths All Clumsy People Know Too Well
Giphy

Everyone who knows me knows I am not the most graceful person in the world. You do not even have to know me well to know that fact about me. I find it funny how my middle name is "Grace", yet I am the complete opposite of someone with grace. I have been clumsy all of my life, and I know I am not the only one. For all of my fellow klutzes out there, here are a few truths we know way too well:

1. You are constantly dropping things.

You cannot be trusted with anything fragile.

2. Bruises and scratches are common but appear mysteriously. 

Two phrases you say almost daily: "Where did this come from?" How did that get there?".

3. High heels are not your friend.

High heels are a no-go.

4. Going down a set of stairs can be a tricky task for you. 

Going up the stairs can be just as tricky.

5. You trip and fall. Always.

Never fails.

6. You cannot be trusted when holding a small child. 

It is annoying to hear someone telling you to be careful anytime you are holding a child. However, you know that you are very capable of dropping the child.

7. All of your friends have pictures and videos of you on the floor after you have taken a tumble. 

Without you, your friends would not have anything to laugh at.

8. You have the BEST and most embarrassing childhood stories. 

These clumsy comical memories range from silly falling down in public stories to near-death experiences.

9. "I'm fine!" is a phrase you use on the daily.

10. You cannot help but to laugh at yourself. 

You embarrass yourself 99% of the time with your clumsiness, but you sometimes can't help but to laugh it off.

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.

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.
