13 Things Clumsy People Know All Too Well

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.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
