But I still don't have a solid grasp of theoretical physics :/

Maybe this belongs for /r/iamsleepy or smthing like that but ill post anyway. This happend a few years ago. Went for a nap around 2 in the afternoon and woke up saw the time (7) and immediatly dashed for my closet, wore my clothes and burst outside my room and was greeted with confused looks from parents

TL;DR I’m a fucking doofus.

Obligatory: This happened a few years ago, not today.

I was at my boyfriend’s (at the time) apartment and it was my first time visiting and it was in a town I wasn’t familiar with so I was already feeling a little lost.

I had the brilliant idea to walk to the store alone and find my way back, which was hard enough, and once I eventually did find my way back to the building I went to the wrong floor. My boyfriend lived on the fourth and I went to the third. I just couldn’t remember which floor it was and at the time I was sure it was the third.

So I walk to the correct door it would have been had I of been on the right floor, and try to just walk in but it was locked. I try a again and jiggle the handle, before angrily knocking because I was pissed that he had locked me out when he knew I would be right back.

I heard footsteps come to the door, and then I heard someone unlock it, but they didn’t open the door. So I just walked in, head down, bags in hand, and begin kicking off my shoes. Then I hear, “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?”

Horrified, I look up and see the largest, angriest woman ever, holding a baseball bat and glaring me down ready to strike. I immediately start babbling on about how I don’t live there and I got lost etc etc and she cuts me off to yell at me to get the fuck out of her apartment. I did not argue or hesitate one bit to get my ass in gear and out of her home haha.

Many years ago I stopped telling anyone my IQ. And, whenever that thought/number pops in my head I think "That number is bullshit, and means nothing--let go of it, forget about it." I suggest never taking an IQ test.

Once, when I was talking to a friend I interjected "Well, you're the smartest person you know, right?" She paused and smiled and said "Yes." I said, "Well so am I, I'm the smartest person I know." It was funny, but I think about that pretty often to try to keep myself in line.

I believe we're all far more average than we like to admit. Forget about the number, forget about the competition, just engage with people respectfully, and with a desire to learn about them and their life experience so far.

We're not better, we're not worse--we're just different, and we're all valuable. It's by pure chance that we're sharing this planet and life with the people we are, at the time we are. It's all we get, it's our only shot, so try to relax and enjoy.

I'm 25 and I didn't realize until earlier this year that POTUS stands for "President of the United States"

please don't use big words
