5 Struggles Clumsy People Face

I deal with situations like these way too frequently.

5 Struggles Clumsy People Face
Bayside Journal

There are two types of people in this world: those that lead seemingly flawless lives due to their impressive ability to maintain balance through all situations and those that are so clumsy that they can barely function. Unfortunately for me, I have proven countless of times to be the latter. Being so uncoordinated, I have endured many different and ungraceful situations. I deal with struggles like the ones mentioned below way too frequently.

1. Finding a million bruises on my body.

From all of the bruises that I wear, one would think that I'm a person that lives life with reckless abandon. However, in reality, all of those bruises usually result in the times that I trip over my two left feet.

2. Dirtying every single clothing garment I wear.

Without fail, I manage to stain all of the clothing items that I own. That white shirt? You can bet that I've gotten ketchup all over it. Those blue jeans? They aren't so blue anymore due to the excessive amount of bleach I used when doing laundry. It actually amazes me how many of my clothes have been altered due to my inability to take care of them properly.

3. Cracking my iPhone screen.

At this point, I honestly believe that I have spent more money on repairing my phone screens than actually purchasing my phones. Whether my phone is held tightly in my hand or packed away safely (or at least that's what I like to think) in my bag, it always manages to break, regardless of the situation.

4. Losing everything.

My wallet, my keys, my sanity... what haven't I lost? It's genuinely frightening how many times I've searched for my glasses while wearing them on top of my head. There isn't one day that I don't misplace an object, or at least think that I do.

5. Being the walking joke among all of my family and friends.

It's no surprise that with the infinite embarrassing moments I've had so far, I was bound to become the verbal punching bag for everyone around me. If there's nothing to talk about, then my friends will mention the one time I tripped in front of a huge crowd. At a family event, my mom will go on and on about the time I wore my outfit completely backwards for an entire day. Whatever occasion it may be, a humiliating story of mine always makes an appearance into a conversation someone is having.

As the clumsy person that I am, I am completely certain that I will encounter many more humiliating moments and struggles throughout my life that could potentially add to this list one day. Let's all hope for my own sake that at least great stories will come out of them.

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.
