To The People Who Are Always Injured

I understand your pain.

To The People Who Are Always Injured
Kaylee Adamek

Most people play sports throughout their childhood. Even if they didn't, they managed to hurt themselves in some way, shape, or form. As a child, and even now, I've always been so accident prone. I've tried everything to keep myself from getting hurt, but I've never been able to stay completely accident-free.

Every time I'm doing something, I almost ALWAYS get hurt in some way, shape, or form. I almost always seem to say "ouch" about everything, even if it doesn't hurt. I struggle to keep myself from getting hurt, but no matter how hard I try, I manage to hurt myself. I'm always in the barn so there's always some sort of way that I'm going to get hurt. I walk into walls, I walk into people, you name it. I walk into almost anything that is put in front of me.

I try to keep myself from getting hurt, and my friends do too. We try to keep chairs pushed in and keep the floors clean. The only problem is, no matter how hard we try, I ALWAYS END UP GETTING HURT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. I know I'm not the only one out there in the world that has this problem. Some people get hurt because they're clumsy. Some people get hurt because, well, they aren't the smartest person in the world. Some people get hurt because of "bad luck." Some people, like me, just don't really pay attention to what the hell they're actually doing and where they're going. I'm usually too busy talking to someone, looking at my phone, zoning out, etc. and I usually almost collide with people, walls, poles, buildings, you name it. I don't think I could be any more prone to getting hurt.

As much as I get hurt, I've only ever broken one bone. It just so happens that it was a knuckle in my middle finger on my left hand. And before you ask, yes. It was involving a horse. I try my best to keep myself from getting hurt. I'm constantly cleaning things up or moving things to another place. I don't know how I always manage to injure myself. I promise that I really do try, but it just doesn't work out the way I want it to. My boyfriend doesn't have sympathy for me anymore when I get injured and honestly, I don't blame him. I get hurt way too often and my poor boyfriend has to deal with it all (but he's the best for putting up with me and all of my injuries!).

To those of you out there who always get hurt, join my party and wrap yourself up in bubble wrap. It's so much more fun and, believe me, so much safer. Let's all wrap ourselves in bubble wrap because why not! Stay safe, everyone!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

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?
