I lost my faith in undergrads and then regained it about two seconds later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was walking to my building. It was the height of class changes, and undergraduates were rushing to get to class. One was in a giant hurry and cut me off in the process of maneuvering around a smaller group. I stepped off the sidewalk, rolled my ankle, and fell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get it. I was an undergrad once. I was stressed all of the time. Getting to class seemed like the most important thing I could do. But then he didn&#8217;t stop to help me \ud83d\ude41 My ankle was hurting. My jeans were ripped. My knee was bleeding. It was a bad day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lfsmusings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_9682.jpg?resize=178%2C236&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1975\" width=\"178\" height=\"236\"\/><figcaption>Image Credit: LFSMusings<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>See that rip to the left? That wasn&#8217;t there before. I&#8217;m not showing a picture of my actual knee because it&#8217;s all cut up and gross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My faith in undergrads was restored when one stopped and helped me up. I hobbled my way to the bench outside of my building and then had my lab mate and friend come to help me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing that could be more inconvenient was the fact that we had a poster presentation for graduate student recruitment day today. Well, you&#8217;ll be happy to know that <strong>I made it<\/strong>. I rolled up a chair next to the poster and propped my ankle up and had successful conversations with my bloody knee and sprained ankle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lfsmusings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9d95ad91-84e3-463c-8728-a227eebd4e90.jpg?resize=381%2C459&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1976\" width=\"381\" height=\"459\"\/><figcaption>Image Credit: LFSMusings<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this was not a good day, and my body hurts.
