Being embarased is so out
orrr is it.
Let me tell you a funny story I’m writing for the sole purpose for future me to not forget.
Okay backstory. I won a scooter my freshman year of college because I bought CorePower milkshakes. So random I know. Anyways, I never really had use for it other than going to McDonald’s and to use it for fun. But I CANNOT FIND PARKING THIS YEAR. Idk what’s going on but sophomore year I never had any issues.
Well this year I did so I decided to return my parking pass because I would have only used it for a semester so it was cheaper to buy a day pass every day other than having a parking pass.
ANYWAYS. I decided to just ride my scooter to class each day because it’s 7 mins or 40. Of course I’ll choose 7 because I can leave later and also go home really quickly if I need to.
Well it was August 29 around 10:20. My class started at 10:30. I try and ride in a path that I won’t see anyone. So this meant going on smaller sidewalks. These 2 girls were walking and I couldn’t get around them and I really didn’t want to say “excuse me” so I decided to go around them on the grass.
You might be thinking, “Emma really? This doesn’t seem very smart.” BUT I’ve gone through the grass many times before and it was fine. This time was different because it was a quick detour. I was planning on getting on the sidewalk right after I went around them but instead of getting back on perpendicular I tried to merge. MERGE. It’s not an interstate omg. Anyways as you could guess I fell. Not a graceful fall. I ATE IT.
While I was “merging” I was like “this could go very bad” and it was too late. I fell so quickly. LIKE SO QUICKLY. I don’t even know how it happened that fast. Luckily it didn’t hurt at all. I don’t know how. Probably because I was so embarrassed.
My knee got cut, my butt got soaked and my Stanley got scraped. A bad start to the day.
When I fell forward my waterbottle (which was in my side pocket) turned upside down and poured all over my pants. Great now it looks like I peed myself.
Emma and the no good, very bad, day.
Anyways I’m trying to get over being embarrassed because why should I be? But sometimes I feel like it’s just inevitable.
Love,
a much more humble Emma
