oarientation
The moment you realize that the boat isn’t going anywhere, and neither are you, but you’re still expected to look like you know what you’re doing.
During orientation, I looked like I knew what I was doing. I didn’t. I just had a lot of pride.
The boat didn’t move during orientation. I still tried to look cool. That’s how I got called 'the fake rower.'
I faked my way through orientation. It worked… until the teacher saw me breathing.
