The Freshman Experiment

Music: The Archies – Sugar, Sugar

All the klutzes of the world have congregated to LAC; safely stowed away in the woods so they can’t cause any harm to those blessed with excellent vestibular systems.

There have been trips, spills, and crashes about three times a week in the dining halls. At this point, no on even looks up from his meal when the familiar sound of a plate breaking rings through the building. I also have an embarrassing lack of balance and I’m making it my mission to get through freshman year without having a major disaster in one the D-halls. So I’ve taken these preventive measures:

1. Hold my tray obnoxiously close to my body.
2. Stand and look for an open table instead of mindlessly circling around, trying to find an empty seat.
3. Don’t ever wear heels to meals.

I’m crossing my fingers for a good, spill-free year.
