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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
