“Why me? Why now?” Have you ever tripped and fell in front of a huge group of people? Ever walked halfway across campus without realizing that your dress is up in the back from being attached to your bookbag? Have you ever gone out on a blind date and the date turned out to be your mom? Have you ever completely blanked out while introducing yourself to someone? Have you ever walked in on your parents doing the “naughty”? Or have you ever dropped your entire tray in D Hall and everyone that saw, laughed? You’re probably sitting there secretly shaking your head because something like these have happened to us all. Embarrassing moments happen all the time, and yes, they are not the most fun if you’re the butt of the moment, but when it’s not you, it’s hilarious right? I mean, I know I’ve had my share of embarrassing moments. I might not have had something that has drastically made me hate my life, but I’ve definitely had my share. I’ve done everything from slipping on a wet floor and making face to face contact with marble tiles from getting down to the “Stanky Leg” to actually thinking I was big enough to jump into a circle of football players while “Knuck if You Buck” played, only to be knocked out of the circle. Now, everybody’s embarrassing moments don’t always seem to be as musically inclined as mine, but each person has a moment, that shameful moment, where they want to say “Why Me? Why Now?”. But what really qualifies an embarrassing moment? Is it a moment that makes you feel like jumping off a cliff? Or is it a moment where you just laugh it off, because while it was embarrassing, you know you could live with it? I feel like they encompass all of those. All of them; from the most outrageous moment of peeing on yo... ... middle of paper ... ...ess of how you think about it, where would we be without embarrassing moments? Some people find love through embarrassing moments, like when a girl may have tripped and bumped into a random boy who later, became her boyfriend. Maybe an embarrassing moment helped to form the basis of the idea and execution for the production of one of your favorite TV shows. Who knows? Maybe an embarrassing moment is somehow behind the reason you are sitting here today. That may seem far-fetched, but my point is that instead of shunning and fearing these moments, we should learn to embrace them into our culture and into our lives as moments that can be seen as what I would like to call beautiful disasters. So, the next time you have an embarrassing moment, instead of saying “Why me? Why now?” just think about the reason the moment is great, laugh and carry on about your day.
