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!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
