The river . <| sep |> This is great advice . On my first day of high school , I avoided falling in a river but smashed my face off a vw because I refused to accept the fall into mudd . Next to my school , there was this steep ass unstable 12 m bank with a small river on the bottom jumpable on dry days that students cut through to get to the local restaurants to eat . Where I live the weather is weird and my first time going down this bank it started downpouring , I was slow going because of the rain and as I descended the river took 2 m of mudd off the bank and widened so when I jumped at the thinnest part I wasnt at the usual jumping place and had no space to land . I barely got my front toes on something solid , instead of falling back into the river or laying in the mudd I propelled myself over the other side of the embankment , which was the parking lot . I landed face first on a vw beetle .
