Here are the most common embarrassing moments that AUIers encounter during their first semester.
Walking to the wrong classroom and getting everyone to stare at you
Obviously, the cliché embarrassing moment almost every college student experiences. However, the worst is when you’re already late to class and you end up interrupting the lecture. In this case, it’s THE BIG FAIL.
Calling a professor “teacher”
Don’t worry, it happens more often than you might think, but here is the simple rule: “teacher” is for high school, Professor and Dr. are for college. See? easy enough to save you from an awkward moment!
Getting caught while bringing food to the library AKA your first fine ever!
Well, in this case, you should say goodbye to a 200 DHS from your Cash Wallet or should I say: one whole day of meals on campus!
Slipping on ice for the first time in front of everyone
Let’s face it, slipping on ice is already embarrassing when no one is watching, but the real fail is when you’re walking peacefully next to the Cafet or the Academic Area and here you are, falling ON THE FLOOR just like JLO, except that no one is actually dancing!
Lining up for minutes to find out that your Cash Wallet is empty while trying to pay for something.
Well, although 6000 DHS for Cash Wallet seems like a lot at first, and we usually promise ourselves to cook more often and eat healthier, the reality is that the first college semester is usually so hectic that the money might easily fade away if you’re not financially aware. So, always check your receipts to keep track and eventually avoid this fail!
Being asked to lower your voice in the library for the first time
The library can definitely be one of the most fun places on campus, so, students sometimes forget about the rules, and thus, it is very common for other students that are “actually studying” to give you a serious TKHNZIRA and ask you to lower your voice.
Getting your clothes wet with water sprinklers
As careful as you want to be with sprinklers, they’re tricky. They make sure to give you a hug especially when you’re well-dressed and everyone is watching. So, beware!
