12 Things Every Semi-Awkward Person Has Done
FanPop

Everyone has their awkward moments but some people have them way too often. There are many awkward moments that people experience but here are some that happen more often.

Trip over your own foot


That embarrassing clumsy moment where you trip over nothing but then you realize you tripped over your own foot. It is amazing how one manages to do that.

Completely wiped out in front of a crush


That moment when you see somebody cute and completely lose your balance. There is no coming back from that epic fall. All you can do is laugh and move on.

Jump over absolutely nothing


I am a very jumpy person and it is always embarrassing when you jump over practically nothing. A leaf one time made me jump and I was actually ready to fight the leaf; yes someone saw.

Start laughing when you remember something funny


Have you ever remembered something funny and just started laughing in the middle of class or in a quiet room. Then of course you have to play it off like you didn't just start randomly laughing to yourself. One time I pretended I was coughing to cover up the fact that I randomly laughed.

Tried to pull a push door (or opposite)


I often times do the opposite when trying to open doors. Doors are more confusing then they need to be and don't even get me started on those revolving doors...

Dropping food or spilling drinks on your clothes


None of your outfits are ever safe. You at least get something on your clothes every day. Also, for ladies dropping food down your shirt and forgetting that there are people around when you go to go get it.

Pretending to be on your phone during awkward moments


Whether it is in waiting rooms or waiting for a class. When there is too much silence, you pretend to look at your phone when you aren't actually doing that much on your phone.

Stutter over words or say the wrong thing


That embarrassing moment when you start stuttering over your words while you are trying to talk to a person or a group of people. Also sometimes saying things backwards or forgetting what something was called.

Run into a tree or a wall because you aren't paying attention


That awkward moment when you are texting or looking away and you run into a wall, pole or tree. Sometimes you even run right into someone which is also extremely awkward.

When you think you see someone you know and realize that isn't them


Have you saw someone waving hi and waved back but realized they weren't waving at you or you waved hi or made a funny face thinking it was someone you knew. That is never not awkward.

Realize what you said can be taken as dirty


Have you ever said something that sounds innocent until you realize the looks you are given and then it hits you... That happens to me a little too often.

Gotten into the wrong car 


I have fully gotten into a different car that looked like mine and then realized my car was parked a couple spots down. Many times I have seen my family go to open the wrong door. Cars look so similar!

Own your awkwardness and just remember it causes for good laughs. You will always have great awkward moment stories to share. Be awkward and be proud of it.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
