Struggles Of The Constantly Clumsy Friend

Trying to be coordinated remains to be a daily struggle.

Struggles Of The Constantly Clumsy Friend

Yes, I have come to terms with the fact that I am the constantly clumsy friend of my friend group.

For some it may be having an issue getting from point A to point B, and for others the struggle lies in a lack of hand-eye coordination in arbitrary daily tasks.

My daily deficiency for coordination has led to some pretty funny, and mostly embarrassing, moments in my life.

For those who share my inelegant tendencies I am here to say it's okay! I have learned to embrace it, and laugh at my daily struggles of being the constantly clumsy friend.

What is it like to live life when you overestimate your ability to walk on your own two feet? I am here to shed some light:

Walking Down The Stairs= Compromising Your Safety.

It's not always bad when you are alone at home, but the worst is eating it in public. This can occur walking down, or even up the stairs. At least it's funny for everyone else, right?

You Can Never Be Quiet.

Forget trying to be sneaky- it's always a failed mission. Even when you grind to not make a sound, the clumsy gene kicks right in and before you know it you have caught the attention of everyone around you.


Driving Is A No-Go.

After being pulled over more times than you can count, driving is normally a struggle for clumsy people. A car honked? No need to look, it was definitely at you.

You Manage To Drop EVERYTHING.

No matter how hard you try, things seem to just slip from your fingers naturally. Someone you never learn to not drop your phone on your face, and it seems to get worse with time.

You Are Constantly Taking A Tumble.

Your feet are your biggest hazard. Wipe out has essentially become part of your persona, and it's totally not a big deal.

You hate that you love heels.

Shocker- heels are the perfect recipe for a wipe out. If only you didn't love the look, you could probably avoid a few bruises (only a few though).

Things Are ALWAYS In Your Way.

Random things seem to magically appear in your path as you innocently walk outside. Multitasking while walking tends to result in more run-ins, but they happen nonetheless.

For all the clumsy friends out there, rock on! You are guaranteed to have a few laughs along with those bruises, keeping doing you.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
