“Got stuck on my balcony before work one morning.
Door latched as I shut it.
Was approximately 6 feet off ground, so I decided to jump off.
Landed on my feet.
Grass was wet, feet slipped…
Fractured three vertebrae, spent nine months in a hospital bed.”

“I worked at a Marine Mammal Rescue Center in Alaska.
It could be really fun and rewarding, but the work itself was anything but glamorous.
“We laughed but the teacher said ‘oh I’m not kidding.’
I immediately fell to the ground puking.

“I skipped a class for organic chemistry in college before finals.
Didn’t get the memo that final exams would be given in a different room.
Showed up 45 minutes late and my professor wouldn’t let me in.
