Because some of us are just not coordinated.

There are two types of people in the world: the coordinated, and the uncoordinated. Here are 15 that all us clumsy folks know all too well.

Tripping over your own feet

Because most people learn how to walk before the age of 2…but we still struggle.

Not quite clearing a doorway

Your shoulder has more than grazed a doorframe too many times.

Accidentally causing a scene in public

Because sometimes we spill or break something when a bunch of people are around

Spilling a drink all down the front of you

“Do you have a hole in your chin?” HA HA

Tripping both up and down the stairs

Whether it be up or down, all clumsies have had many terrifying experiences with stairs.

One too many broken dishes

This is pretty self-explanatory. Just call me butter-fingers.

Shirts with food stains

Again with the eating and drinking thing…it’s not always as easy as we plan on it being.

Severely stubbed toes

This goes hand-in-hand with the bruised shoulders

Many unidentified bruises

Similar to the door and stubbed toes, you can’t help but occasionally fall down or run into things.

Small reactions to mishaps

Whereas normal people may get upset over a spilled drink or a public mishap, we tend to shrug it off as just another daily occurrence.

Beat up phones

Because sometimes even with a case, your phone can see some wear and tear when dropped a million times.

Scuffed shoes

It’s hard to have nice things when you are likely to screw them up by tripping over your own feet.

Lacking embarrassment when others experience your clumsiness

We spend so little time worrying what others think, because after all, those who love us know our faults.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
