I'm A Klutz And I'm Proud

Being clumsy isn't a bad thing, but it can have it's downfalls (quite literally).

I've come to the conclusion that you should fully embrace your uncoordinated self. However, if you aren't sure whether you're a true klutz or not, here are 11 signs you might be.

1. You’re The Friend In The Group Who Is Most Likely To Get Hurt

When your friends are talking about doing an activity that might involve the possibility of falling, getting injured, or taking an ER trip heads automatically turn towards you.

2. You Use The Phrase “I’m Fine” Like It's A Reflex


This is your natural response to "are you okay?" But really, you're so tired of being the one who's hurt that you actually deny the fact that you're not fine.

3. Being Injured Is Second Nature

You've had your fair share of injuries, but at this point, you're used to it. You can walk with crutches like a boss, write with your non-writing hand, or drive with one good arm. It's all in a day's work.

4. You Have A High Pain Tolerance

One of the pros to being a klutz is having the capability to wipe out on a set of stairs and act like it's no big deal. What a talent!

5. Falling Is One Of Your Specialties

Just admit it, you’ve managed to trip while standing. Not walking. Just standing. Half of the time you don't even fall, it's just a slow dramatic almost-fall.

6. You're Known As "The Dropper"

It's almost better if you just let it drop because it ends up being much worse when you try and save it.

7. You Almost Always Look Like You've Just Walked Out Of A Fight

You always have fresh bruises or scars on your legs and arms. Most of the time, you can't remember how you got them.

8. You’ve Been Asked By A Complete Stranger If You Feel Safe At Home

You've probably gotten the occasional concerned stranger asking you if you're okay. Your response, "No, I'm not okay. I suffer from a form of klutziness that occasionally causes mild to serious injury. But, I am very thankful to say that I feel safe at home, thank you."

9. Gracefulness Is An Unknown Concept To You

How do ballerinas do it? They have more grace in their lil pinky finger than you do in your whole body. But it's okay, because you can be on the same awkward level as Taylor Swift.

10. Your Friends Enjoy Your Company For Comic Relief

Your friends can expect some sort of comic relief from your clumsiness, so they keep you around. And although you slightly resent that, you accept it and then embrace it. And by it, I mean the ground.

11. People Probably Think You're Drunk When You’re Completely Sober

Sometimes your body simply can't cope with your energy level and thus plummets to the ground with the slightest bit of excitement. I'm not going to lie, I am slightly concerned that if I ever get pulled over and have to walk in a straight line I won't be able to do it without falling over.

I'm A Klutz And I'm Proud

If you can relate to at least a few of these, congratulations, you've earned the title of klutz. People will only judge you if you don't own it. Or maybe they will judge you regardless, but at least you'll be too focussed on being your awesome self to care what they think. Trust me, life is better when you embrace your awkwardness. Just look at Taylor Swift. If she can do it, so can you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
