Struggles Of The Constantly Clumsy Friend

Trying to be coordinated remains to be a daily struggle.

Struggles Of The Constantly Clumsy Friend

Yes, I have come to terms with the fact that I am the constantly clumsy friend of my friend group.

For some it may be having an issue getting from point A to point B, and for others the struggle lies in a lack of hand-eye coordination in arbitrary daily tasks.

My daily deficiency for coordination has led to some pretty funny, and mostly embarrassing, moments in my life.

For those who share my inelegant tendencies I am here to say it's okay! I have learned to embrace it, and laugh at my daily struggles of being the constantly clumsy friend.

What is it like to live life when you overestimate your ability to walk on your own two feet? I am here to shed some light:

Walking Down The Stairs= Compromising Your Safety.

It's not always bad when you are alone at home, but the worst is eating it in public. This can occur walking down, or even up the stairs. At least it's funny for everyone else, right?

You Can Never Be Quiet.

Forget trying to be sneaky- it's always a failed mission. Even when you grind to not make a sound, the clumsy gene kicks right in and before you know it you have caught the attention of everyone around you.


Driving Is A No-Go.

After being pulled over more times than you can count, driving is normally a struggle for clumsy people. A car honked? No need to look, it was definitely at you.

You Manage To Drop EVERYTHING.

No matter how hard you try, things seem to just slip from your fingers naturally. Someone you never learn to not drop your phone on your face, and it seems to get worse with time.

You Are Constantly Taking A Tumble.

Your feet are your biggest hazard. Wipe out has essentially become part of your persona, and it's totally not a big deal.

You hate that you love heels.

Shocker- heels are the perfect recipe for a wipe out. If only you didn't love the look, you could probably avoid a few bruises (only a few though).

Things Are ALWAYS In Your Way.

Random things seem to magically appear in your path as you innocently walk outside. Multitasking while walking tends to result in more run-ins, but they happen nonetheless.

For all the clumsy friends out there, rock on! You are guaranteed to have a few laughs along with those bruises, keeping doing you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
