11 Things Every Clutz Knows to be True

Graceful is a word that has never been used to describe me. While I am totally okay with this, I know that it stems from my lack of coordination. If you happen to be a clumsy person like me, then you know the daily struggle of getting through the day without either tripping, spilling on yourself, or just completely wiping out. So if you are lacking in the grace department as well, here are 11 things you know to be true if you are a clutz.

1. People always tell you to "be careful" when you are just walking down the sidewalk

2. You pretty much always have bruises on your knees

3. Texting while walking is like an Olympic sport for you

4. If you make it through the whole day without spilling something it's a success

5. White shirts + coffee just don't go together

6. The winter is a dangerous time for you

7. You are used to falling and saying, "I'm fine!" even when no one is around

8. You trip downstairs, you trip upstairs... it makes no difference, either way, you end up on the ground

9. You no longer get embarrassed falling down in public

10. When you walked at graduation and DIDN'T fall, even your family was surprised

11. No dinner is complete without you spilling your drink at least once.

If you can relate to most of these, then you, my friend, are a clutz. If you are like me, embrace it. Go buy yourself some Tide-to-go, extra band aids and get ready for a life with some trips and spills, but one that is sure to be pretty amazing. Because if you need to be able to laugh at yourself every once in a while.

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

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?
