Oh dear God.

12 Times You Were Too Awkward For Your Own Good
thesurge.com

There are times where you are awkward and then there are times where your awkwardness takes on a whole new kind of awkward and a new level is achieved. We all know the struggle and we can all relate. Denial is only the beginning of a twelve step process...

1. When the waiter or waitress or the guy at McDonalds says "enjoy your meal" and you say "you too."

2. When someone says "what's up?" and you say "I'm good, how are you?"

3. When you open the door for someone and they say "thank you" instead of saying "you're welcome" you also say "thank you."

4. When you say "bye, love you!" to the insurance agent on the phone or your barista or the cashier or basically anyone who you shouldn't be saying "love you" to.

5. When someone ahead of you holds the door open for you and you half jog to catch up and you're out of breath.

6. When you start telling a story to your mom and realize half of it involves something illegal and/or inappropriate so you try and make something up on the spot.

7. When you told someone you were on your way or almost there and you haven't even left the house yet and you show up too late for it to be believable.

8. When you're waving at someone and someone else in the same direction thinks that you're waving at them...

9. When you can't understand what someone is saying even though you've asked like 5 times already so you just nod and say "Yeah" with a little chuckle.


10. When you make eye contact with the same person over and over and over again.

11. When you don't communicate and someone goes for a hand shake and the other person goes in for a hug and you end up with someones arm smashed between the two of you.

12. When you ask someone how they are and they say "good, you?" and you also say "good, you?"

Oh my god that was painful.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
