17 Things Only A Klutz Understands
Tom McCracken

If you are reading this, you are most likely just as clumsy as I am. Here are some of the struggles I go through all the time that you can probably relate to:

1. You are always dropping stuff.

Dropping the bass to you actually means you dropped a bass instrument.

2. When you do manage to balance something, you are completely amazed.

3. Hiking is like a video game on difficult mode.

There is expected fall damage, some battles with small tripping rocks and tree roots. NO thank you.


4. You always have bruises...

like, everywhere.


5. Your friends have learned how to tell when you are about to fall and are prepared to catch you.

6. Said friends will also try to purposely make you fall just for laughs.

7. Ladders are scary...

...so are swinging bridges. Really anything that you feel is not stable enough.


8. When it's icy outside, you expect to fall and expect the pain from falling.

9. Crowded rooms are a nightmare.

Wires? Furniture? People? All are tripping hazards.

10. You begin to re-situate a room based on how many tripping hazards there are.

11. Swimming seems to be the only safe activity/sport since gravity doesn't apply there.

12. You try to be active and go for a run

but less than five minutes in you have already tripped/fallen down.

13. You tried yoga for a bit.

It did not work out.


14. You are incredibly proud of yourself when you carry something large and manage not to drop it.

15. You have to mentally plan each experience with a different type of staircase.

16. Escalators can be tricky too.

17. Newton's Fourth Law of Motion: Walking a dog that can pull you down, most likely will.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
