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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
