Today, during a moment of silence in front of the entire high school during my band concert, I managed to hit the stand with my flute, and loudly scrambled to catch it before it fell over. I've never had so many people look at me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML
Today, I performed a piano piece at a school play. Everything went well until I got up and accidentally smashed my shin against one of the piano legs. Before I could bite my tongue, I'd already yelled "Fucking hell!" in front of about 50 second graders. FML
Today, at school, I was asked to play a complex piano piece in front of my class, teachers and guests. I nailed it, but what stood out most for everyone was how I apparently looked like I was being possessed while performing. FML
Today, in marching band, the guy in front of me backed up too far. As we turned, the back of his trombone hit mine, smashing it into my lip. I had to finish the song, all while sending blood down my horn. FML
Today, I went to an orchestra concert and everyone was sat really close together. I tried to avoid hitting people nearby, and tried to lean back to not hit anyone. My bow ended up hitting a cymbal from the percussion section and made quite a loud sound. It was during a really soft part of a song. Kill me. FML
Today, I was in band rehearsing for a big concert coming up. Since the band was practicing with the orchestra and there weren’t enough seats, we had to stand. My back was facing everyone when my friend tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to my ass. I got my period and everyone saw the stain. FML
Today, I performed in my school's choir concert. The girl next to me started to pass out, and I grabbed her so she wouldn't hit her head. After we were done performing and the curtains closed, my choir teacher dragged me off stage and said I was getting an F for "creating a distraction". FML
Today, I was at a band concert with 500 other people. The song they were performing stopped, and I loved it so much I stood up and clapped. Everyone stared, while I slowly realized the song wasn't over. FML
Today, after giving a speech at college, I did the good ol' mic drop. The microphone fell with a loud bang that was heard through the clapping. FML
Today, I tripped on the way back from collecting a prize in front of 600 students and their parents. I got more applause than I did when collecting the prize. FML

Don't worry. Flutes tend to go flying every once in a while! Just laugh it off.

At least now, people know you, and who knows maybe someone might meet you and be like "I wanna go out with you."

This is definitely something you'll laugh about when you're older. I know it's probably the most embarrassing thing in the world now, but later it will be amusing and a cute story to share :)

That sounds really embarrassing but I'm sure people have forgotten about it by now so no worries :

Bad luck sometimes happens like this. It's best to just blow yourself off and keep going.

Blow yourself off? Let's play a game called: Why On Earth Did They Write That? My guess is that was a bad pun or English isn't your first language. Anyone wanna place any bets?
TheGolfGTI 24
A bad pun is still a pun in my book. Plus it's 1 am. Discretion is advised.

Don't let a silly thing that you did in high school embarrass you, you'll look back on it and laugh. Just keep going and if people make fun of you for it they can go suck a ****.

A penis? A bullet? A printer? A book? A vacuum?

The word **** is beautiful. You can just put that thing anywhere.
