We all have those moments when we want to mimic Hollywood actors, storming out of the room screaming out our frustration. Allow a few days to pass and you now have an embarrassing moment. One day’s horror, another day’s laughter. After surveying embarrassing Hofstra moments, I have come across some that we can relate to and others that we can point to and laugh at.
Everyone has those days. As this soul began existing the student center dining area, her sandwich soon found its way to the floor.
We all know that moment after these kinds of events happen. Utter confusion. You look around. You contemplate whether to quickly exit leaving the tuna sandwich to act like a banana peel, to grab the sandwich, sit and eat it (five-second rule right?), or to dispose of the mess prolonging the redness in your cheeks as you scrub the floor with cardboard napkins. Gotta love gravity.
Stupidity. It’s something that will on occasion over take us despite our high IQ’s. An individual, who, yes, is a freshman, stood a few paces back from the Kosher Kitchen eyeing up the menu.
When the man behind the counter asked what they wanted to eat the freshman simply smiled saying, “Oh no I can’t. I’m not Jewish.” The individual then proceeded to walk away only later discovering that everyone can eat kosher food, no matter the religion. Mazel tov.
Life loves to embarrass us. For example, put yourself in this person’s perspective. She woke up to hear her roommate talking in her sleep—about her. A few moments passed and before she could obtain any warning her roommate was chucking a blackberry at her. Don’t wanna be in that dream.
Ever had a moment that can only be classified: simply awkward? This girl has. Honestly, I don’t even want to describe the situation. I’m sure the average college mind can conjure up a vivid picture of this girl was doing the night before this awkward moment.
All I need to say is don’t you love that awkward moment when you wake up saying, “Hmmm….he was pretty awful.” Welcome to college.
Oh the joy of ruining a shirt, wasting four bucks, and of course, embarrassing yourself. It always begins the same with the causal toss. The toss that on this specific occasion, hit the edge of the trashcan proceeding to bounce back into the throwers face. You now have a spilled drink down your front and are left with the decision of whether you buy another drink or not.
This individual had the pleasure of walking from Dunkin’ Donuts the whole way to the residential side of campus with a white sticky stain attracting everyone’s attention. Gotta love clumsiness.
Moments are easily ruined, with a spilled drink, choice gone wrong, inappropriate silence etc. Although these events may ruin one person’s day reading them sure do make mine. Keep us laughing.
Stay awkward, Hofstra.
