I think I’m normal. Normal is defined as “conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical.” I’m definitely typical. Put me in a crowd of college students, and I’ll fit right in. I don’t really think anybody would think I’m strange or anything.

Yet, it always seems that the weirdest things happen to me. I don’t know if any of you feel this way, but I can’t seem to go through a day without something totally odd happening to me.

Take for instance a perfectly normal trip to a local drug store. All I wanted was some Easter candy.

On my way out, instead of going through the Exit door, I thought I could quick make it through the automatic Entrance door. Wrong.

Halfway out of the Entrance door, the door closes on me. Not a big deal, except that I couldn’t make it open again, and I’m stuck in the door going “Aaagghh!” Finally, after what seemed like hours (but was probably only half a second), a man came through the Entrance door and it opened, and I was free.

That wouldn’t really be that huge of a deal, but things like that happen all the time. As hard as I try to live normally, things just seem to go wrong.

I’m the kind of person who falls asleep in class and wakes up with drool all over my face and while trying to wipe it off manage to fall out of my desk.

Maybe I could start a club at Nicholls for people like myself. It could work kind of like a support group thing.

We would have meetings, where we could encourage each other about our lives and make each other feel just a little bit more normal.

Of course, being the one who would probably be in the worst condition, I would probably have to be president. I could handle that. At least I would know there are other people on campus like me.

We regret that Jaime had to abruptly quit writing this article. After writing the last sentence, she leaned over too far in her chair and fell over. That would have been ok, but when she tried to pull herself back up, she accidentally pulled down the whole table, computer and all. She left immediately to get checked out in the Emergency Room of the hospital, where she has a lifetime membership.
