14 College Students Told Me Their Most Embarrassing Moment From Freshman Year And...WOW

Hannah Goldberg

Whether it be accidentally taking someone else's order at the coffee shop, tripping up the stairs on my way to class, getting lost in the Humanities building, or looking orange after my spray tan, I've had my fair share of embarrassing moments. Embarrassment afflicts all of us. We just have to embrace it, and we'll end up laughing about it in the long run.

1. "I dropped and broke a bowl full of sausage links in the middle of the dining hall."

2. "I wanted to say hi to a guy, but ended up slipping and basically sliding on my knees into him just to find out he was talking to another girl. I got up and sprinted out of there."

3. "I got locked out of my room after I showered, and I was only in a towel. I had to wait 15 minutes for my RA to get the master key to unlock it."

4. "I had Psych 453 — Human Sexuality — with the boy I lost my virginity to."

5. "I dropped my lace underwear while carrying my laundry up to my dorm room."

6. "I showed up to a frat when there was no party because I thought it was on Friday, not Thursday, and they kicked us out."

7. "I dropped a pencil over the railing on the top floor of the union. It fell onto a table of people, and they all looked up at me."

8. "I lost my student card and then found it underneath clothes in my room after I had just bought a new one."

9. "I was carrying bags of food through the dining hall with mainly upperclassmen, and all the bottoms ripped."

10. "I fell asleep in class and got yelled at by my professor."

11. "I didn't realize I was taking a class for honors credit, and then I realized in the last week and dropped the honors on the last day of the semester."

12. "I sprained my ankle jumping off a second floor balcony."

13. "I fell asleep in my friend's room, and when I woke up, they all told me I was snoring."

14. "I turned in a Philosophy paper and realized I put the title as 'F*** This.' I got a point for creativity."

College is the golden opportunity to do something embarrassing. It happens to all of us, and these moments will make for the best stories later on.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
