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?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

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?

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.
