Embarrassing Stories to Make You Feel Better about Yourself

I LOVE making fun of myself. It runs a close second to making fun of my roommates because c'mon, they make it too easy. But I mean, who better to do it than someone who knows just exactly every embarrassing thing you've ever done? So, in case you're having a bad day or just like to hear other about people's discomfort, I've decided to divulge my roommates' and my embarrassment (and stupidity) to the Internet.

1. I accidentally checked the box on a college application that says I committed a felony. I didn't get in to that college.

2. I called a girl during recruitment the wrong name during our whole conversation. I now see her on campus. A lot.

3. I ate french fries off a random person's blanket at an OAR concert. (Not a good moment).

4. I dropped an entire bucket of frozen yogurt on myself when I worked at Orange Leaf.

5. I thought I was locked in a freezer where I worked in high school. After 10 minutes of pounding on the door and screaming, I realized you had to push the knob instead of turn it.

6. Somebody hacked my Twitter account and made my tweet, “Grubbin and Poopin". That took a while for people to get over.

7. I broke my foot running up the stairs. (True story.)

8. I dumped dirty mop water on myself. I guess I have the same problem as someone else.

9. I decided it would be a good idea to go back and get my underwear that I left at a guy's house one night. It wasn't.

10. I drunkenly showed a guy my "personal make out list," then proceeded to try and flirt with him by saying, “I haven't made out with you, yet."

11. My first time going to the bars was also the first time I was mistaken for a lesbian and got hit on by a girl.

12. I split an entire water cooler of alcohol at a fraternity tailgate while visiting another school.

13. I've been using the men's restroom all semester and just figured it out last Thursday.

14. I fell in the pool during my 5:30 a.m. life-guarding shift and then was swarmed by old people to make sure I was okay.

15. A guy asked me if anyone ever tells me I look like the redhead from Brave because my hair's so untamed.

16. This guy and I talked for five minutes about how my name isn't spelled how it usually is. He then got up to leave and called me the wrong name.

17. I have accidentally tried, on multiple occasions, to write with a tampon instead of a pen.

18. I wore all denim to a Jump5 concert at the zoo when I was younger. Jean skirt, jean jacket and jean purse. The works.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
