We are human. We are prone to embarrassing moments. Happens to the best of us.
When with a friend, it is easy to laugh it off and make fun of yourself to brush it off, but sometimes, these moments creep up on you when you're alone and you are left to fend for yourself in the time of embarrassment. This is just a reminder that these things happen to everyone. We don't judge, we feel for you.
1. Loud stomach growls
Sometimes we don't have time to eat breakfast before that 8 a.m.! So when you're taking a quiz in that class and suddenly there's a thunderstorm in your stomach, it can be quite the predicament. I chug water and hope for the best, but then that can lead to #6 on this list.
2. Cough attacks
In cold and flu season, a lot of us are relying on cough drops and DayQuil, but sometimes that one piece of dust in your throat ruins your day. There are not enough cough drops in the world to help this coughing fit.
3. Slipping on ice
When classes are not canceled yet the sidewalks and roads are an ice rink? Break out those figure skating skills because you're gonna really need them!
4. When your phone goes off
We all have those off days when we forget to turn our phones on silent. We have no one to blame but ourselves, but we like to blame the person who is calling us.
5. When you're in Javits and your chair squeaks
Especially during an exam... yikes! One tiny motion and all heads turn to you.
6. When you have to go to the bathroom after drinking a ton of water, but everyone would stare at you if you got up
The title says it all. Gotta stay hydrated, but sometimes, it's not the right time to get up to use the bathroom.
7. Taking a snooze
Morning classes are hard. Afternoon classes can also be a struggle. What time of a day is good for the sleep-deprived college student?
