Do You Ever Just...

Six embarrassing moments we can all relate to.

Today I dropped my phone through a bench. Actually, no, let's be precise, I dropped my phone through a bench that had an underside that was, well, less than accessible, and then I had to go to class, so my friends constructed a 7-foot pole of sorts with which to retrieve it.

While this entire thing was pretty ridiculous, it seems a little too normal to me at this point in contrast with all of the other equally, if not more spastic and ridiculous things I do on a daily basis.

So to lighten the mood a bit, and perhaps give any readers with finals looming over their heads a quick smile- here's my question--

Do these things ever happen to you?

Here's a list of some, for lack of a more appropriate word, dip-sh$t things I have done; I'm curious if anyone has any rivals--

1. Walk around with your backpack unzipped.

Letting it all hang out- or something? It's not too cute when my accounting notebook is flapping around behind me.

2. Trip on everything.

Sometimes I am just walking down the street and I'll be like on the phone or something and just fall off the side. Or trip. Or roll my ankle a bit and then run away so as to remain inconspicuous- or not.

3. Walk into things.

I have zero depth perception and often run into signs, shelves in the grocery store, shelves in the house, or even shelves with ten million water bottles on them in Nordstrom. Good thing I didn't make them fall.

4. Nearly walk out of the store wearing merchandise you were trying on.

Yesterday I was trying on some jeans and there's the little alarm that is only supposed to go off if you leave the store in them, but instead, it decided to go off while I was pulling them on, which of course alerted the sales girl to come take them from me. I had to yell through the changing room door- "I don't have any clothes on!!" Cute.

5. Crack your voice like a child at the worst moments.

One time I got all excited to answer a question in class, and I raised my hand and everything, and got through half of the first word before my voice cracked like a ten-year-old boy, at which point I tried to clear my throat, which turned into this spastic coughing, and I ended up sounding like I was definitely suffering from a case of whooping cough. This was all prior to actually answering the question, of course. Also cute. Also ridiculous.

6. Accidently climb into your roommate's bed.

For the final excitement of this article, I share possibly my most embarrassing moment with you all. You see, I don't talk to my roommate. Like at all. On any given week we maybe exchange one sentence. So this one morning, I woke up, and I wasn't in my bed. I had no idea where I was, but I definitely was not on my side.

I looked over, and I realized I was sleeping RIGHT NEXT TO my roommate. On HER BED. It later became apparent that I had apparently been sleep walking, though how I ended up sleepwalking there I really have no idea. At least we only have two more weeks together I guess...

So here's to my embarrassing moments, and hopefully yours too. Either you're sitting reading this right now thinking we have to be best friends because you identify with me on a crazy level, or you are thinking- wow, this girl is more ridiculous than anyone I have ever met.

Either way, I hope this provided a little laugh on your Monday.

And hey, it's probable that no one even noticed me doing this stuff- right??

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
