SO EMBARRASSING WTF So today is my first day of college classes. And of course my instructor had us go around and introduce ourselves and say a little bit about us and what we are pursuing and why. By the time it came to me, my heart was beating so fast. I got past the name part, but then I just started to jumble all my words together and made no sense. Replacing words that I wanted to say with words that were easier to come out. All 24 of my classmates were looking at me crazy. Wtf.
