- Tripping on thin air
Now you’ve got to play it off like you totally meant to faceplant the ground.
- Getting involuntarily photoshopped for the Sunday Best newsletter
One day I woke up to an image of me donning fake gold chains and sunglasses, captioned, “Best selling rapper: Better than Zhu” (courtesy of a certain former editor-in-chief). Newspaper class was NOT fun for me the following Monday.
- Apple Pay not working at the vending machine
Technology is a blessing and a curse.
- Dropping your metal water bottle
Loud percussion music during a wonderful chemistry test! Hopefully the class doesn’t have too much of a reaction.
- Walking with your phone flashlight on
Please let me know as soon as possible — trust me, I’d rather not be your personal paparazzi.

I thought I was in a fever dream when I saw freshmen in my AP U.S. History classroom.
- Running to class or lunch
Early bird gets the worm. Worst case scenario, you get chased by campus supervisor Archie Ljepava on a golf cart.

- Mistaking someone for your friend
Sorry, but goodbye, and I hope I never see you at school again.
