Today, as a student reporter for our college newspaper, I interviewed the president of my university. I was surprised to get an interview with him, and because of my nerves, as soon as I walked into his office I tripped over my own feet and fell face first into the ground. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to a big job interview. As I walked in, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Other highlights include my voice cracking multiple times, sweating profusely and getting uncontrollable nervous giggling. The interviewer eventually stared at me in disbelief and asked if I was high. FML
Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. FML
Today, I finally mustered the courage to ask my boss for a raise. I confidently walked into his office, ready to present my case, only to trip over the edge of a rug and fall onto his desk, scattering papers and stuff everywhere. FML
Today, I went to a very important job interview. I was so nervous that I passed out right in front of the interviewer's desk. FML
Today, I met my celebrity crush in an official capacity, I was completely tongue tied and when I stood to shake her hand, I tripped and fell with my face in her cleavage. She thought it was funny, but I was mortified and my boss suspended me until security footage proves I didn’t do it on purpose. FML
Today, I had a really important job interview, and as i was about to leave for it my mom told me to remember to make eye contact. As I was walking in, it was the only thing I could think about, so looking directly at him my foot hits a lip in the floor and my head slams into his desk. FML
Today, I had my first interview in over a year. I panicked and passed out. FML
Today, I went in for an interview for my first ever job. Just seconds after meeting the boss, I slipped on the linoleum floor. I was wearing a skirt. FML
Today, I was walking down the hallway of my office, texting and not paying attention, when I tripped on… nothing. I just practically face-planted onto the floor, and when I looked up, people chatting in the hallway were staring at me, and asked me if I had tripped over my own foot or if a ghost had pranked me. FML
Today, I was to give a business report to several important shareholders. Right at the start, I broke into a coughing fit, then got so nervous that I froze up. When I tried to excuse myself, I tripped over my own feet. I'm now facing demotion for making the company look bad. FML

If this were a scene Aaron Sorkin had written, it would go something like: "Now that I've fallen head over heals for you, tell me a little about yourself." "Haha, I know you're trying to break tension and make a joke, but I don't think that's how it works." "Based on your budgetary allocations, knowing how things work doesn't seem to be your forte." "Jesus, aren't you supposed to wait until after the interview to editorialize?" "What can I say? I'm good at multitasking." "Unless you're faced with the task of moving both feet simultaneously."

I'd say, "Sorry for what happened to you," but like the first commenter, all I want to ask is, "Did you want to try and get your own 50 Shades of Grey going by pulling Anna Steele on your university's president?"

Don't feel too bad. Right after my first interview with (now Congressman) Thomas Massie, I backed into the car of his district director. Yes, I did leave a dent.

There's no need to be nervous. As the president of the university he's also an employee and has a responsibility to the students. He should be available for interviews with the student newspaper. Unless you're going in to really hard ball him he should be very cordial and cooperative.
