- appendicitis is the only time my parents ever visited campus
- fire alarm night before test
- having all midterms on same day
- exponential runtime
- snapped my oneCard 2 times in 2 days
And then a smorgasbord of miscellaneous bad luck?

- I got left by my parents in Paris in a train station
- dropping my laptop
- dropping my laptop 3 times
- Hurricane Harvey hit my city on my birthday :(

The award for "Sounds Most Like a Cautionary Tale" goes to "brother pushed me in a well". The "Technically Unlikely but maybe not UnLUCKy" prize goes to "lost twenty coinflips in a row." The tip-of-the-hat for luck-n-privilege awareness goes to "i once had to wait at a red light."
This post is dedicated to students who are perusing the archive in search of something to brighten a day that feels unlucky.
This post's theme word is contretemps (n), "an unforseen and unfortunate occurrence; a disagreement or dispute." Wednesday's child is full of woe; Grumbleday's child is caught in contretemps.
