Epic Fail

Ever have those days where all that you attempt to do just doesn’t pan out? 

     It’s icy outside so you walk extra carefully, and then go into a building, step on your own foot and fall. 

     Your wearing your favorite white shirt, so while eating you lean way over your plate so as to not spill. Later when you look in the mirror you see a huge dirt stain on your back where you must have rubbed up against your very dirty car.  

     You hand in your 6 page research paper, that you have spent countless hours combing through and perfecting, with pride and confidence. When you get it back it has a big C- on it. 

     The sun comes out, the ice melts. In an attempt to lift your own mood you decide to be playful and try to jump the puddles of water the ice has left. You step on your own foot again and fall into a puddle full of car oil. 

     Your white shirt with the dirt stain the back, now is soaking wet and smells like a car repair shop. 

     At this point the C- is looking pretty good.

It seems like when one thing goes wrong, everything goes wrong. On days like these I find myself laughing and saying, “Well at least it can’t get any worse”. Only to kick myself later because then I find out that C- paper is worth half my grade. It CAN get worse. 

Sometimes things just don’t pan out. Why? I heard a really great quote the other day...

“The key to success is failure. If your not failing, your not trying hard enough.” 

I might be an epic fail, but at least I know I’m trying.
