Red Cheeks

Living in close quarters with people your age is bound to bring embarrassing moments if you're not careful, and I must admit... I'm not careful. Some examples of this include the following:

Once I was dancing in the shower-- yes, dancing. I bring my Ipod in the bathroom and jam out. Anyway, because I was jammin' out I wasn't listening to the going ons in the hallway. After I was all clean, I turned off the music and opened the door to find my guy friend sitting in the room across from the bathroom. I could've just said hi and walked along like it was no big deal, but I freaked out! I wasn't sure if I was fully covered so I made a noise and shut the door. After ensuring I was covered, I reopened the door and walked, blushing, to my room.

Another time, I had a contusion in my toe. When I got the prescription, I thought the doctor wrote 'Morphine' on the paper. So, for the next few days I walked around thinking I was on the drug. One day in class, I was extremely tired from what I thought was the drugs and next thing I knew the professor told me to stay awake. Without thinking I raised my hand and said, 'I'm on morphine' in front of my whole class. I immediately realized the mistake I made. I tried talking to the professor after class... to explain that I'm not a drug addict but for some reason he seemed uncomfortable. So I left the room red in the face. Later that very night I actually looked at the bottle and realized that it didn't say Morphine, but Ibuprofen. The doctor wrote 'motrin' on the paper-- I just read it wrong. My friends still make references to my 'almost' morphine experience.

And today, I placed my bag down and opened my computer. A few seconds later the boy sitting next to me calls my name... I turn my head to look only to realize he is holding one of my sexual items that had rolled out of my bag. My eyes bugged out of my head and I didn't know what to say. He was curious to why I was so embarrassed and quickly found out why. I took the item from him and didn't know what to do for the rest of class.

And who could forget the time I crushed a can in front of all of greek life with my boobs?

All could've been avoided, but hey they make good stories. That's the bright side, don't worry too much about embarrassing moments--this isn't High school. Friends will laugh with you instead of at you. We're all in the same boat and we all have our moments. Take it with a grain of salt. Laughing at yourself is way better then dwelling on how things could be different.

By the way, balls are supposed to go forward.
