10 Signs You're A Total Klutz

Being graceful is hard.

10 Signs You're A Total Klutz
theladbible.com

Most people have walked into a door or tripped over their own two feet at least once in their lives. But for those of us who struggle with gracefulness on a daily basis, avoiding these obstacles is an ongoing challenge

1. Stairs are hard.

Your No. 1 mode of transportation is falling down the stairs (and if you’re like I am, you probably trip UP the stairs, too).

2. Stains. Everywhere.

People can tell what you just ate based on the stains from the food that landed ON you instead of IN you. Having a Tide-To-Go stick on you at all times is a must.

3. Doors are NOT your friends.

I mean come on, who puts handles on a door that you’re supposed to push open?

4. You are your own worst enemy.

You would think by tripping over things and falling down all the time you would be a threat to others, but really the biggest threat you pose is to yourself.

5. You probably have a nickname like “Grace” or “Gracie”.

By this point, your friends and family have DEFINITELY noticed your lack of ability to put one foot in front of the other without tripping, resulting in a nickname that mocks your lack of gracefulness.

6. You’re constantly looking around you to check if others saw your latest tumble.

Nothing quite compares to that sigh of relief when you trip in the hallway, but realize that no one was around to see it.

7. Being trusted with fragile objects is totally nerve-racking.

What do you mean I have to carry this glass vase all the way upstairs?! I really hoping it doesn't shatter.

8. “Hand-eye coordination” is a foreign concept.

Catching or throwing a ball, running, and watching out for others at the same time? Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to happen ...

9. Walking in a straight line is impossible; even when sober.

Putting one foot in front of the other is actually a lot harder than it seems, okay? Don’t judge.

10. Poor weather just adds to the daily struggle.

Rain, ice, snow and wind make you fall down even more than usual. Mother Nature needs to JUST. NOT.

Just remember this: If you’re a klutz, you’re not alone; there are plenty of us out there. We just like to test the law of gravity a little more often than most people.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
