It could be that the one of the contents(proteins) of the seminal plasma that coagulates or precipitates, and appears as white clot.
There are many proteins in the seminal plasma. Among the most abundant are proteins which are secreted by seminal vesicles, are gel-forming proteins: fibronectin, semenogelin I, and semenogelin II. They are cleaved by protease, so that they form a viscous gel entrapping spermatozoa immediately after ejaculation. Another protein of the seminal vesicle protein is lactoferrin, which stays in solution. It has an antimicrobial role in seminal plasma. Laminin and serum albumins are also highly abundant in seminal plasma.
Some of these could precipitate as fibrinogen precipitates into fibrin, and if this happens then, it is normal and you need not worry. But if there is some infection in the reproductive tract, then it is a different matter and this requires consultation with an andrologsist or urologist or gynaecologist.

I don't know man, semen's a tricky thing, it's consistency can vary greatly from ejaculation to ejaculation. I would say be worried if odd-coloration starts to happen, blood, etc... but also, don't take this lightly. It's probably nothing but just be aware of it and if you start to get more worried head to the doctor. And if you're still at home with parents, I would probably approach pop with this problem if you need to go to the doctor.
