Being awkward is awkward

Congrats, you're awkward

Ever have situations where you feel like you are watching yourself externally and you notice how poorly you are handling the situation but you cannot handle it any better? Congrats, you’re awkward.

Here are 11 situations you have found yourself in where you definitely could've handled things better.

  1. When you are walking into a plane and have to stop for heavy traffic flow, you are being judged. What do you decide to do? Be awkward.
  2. When you are perpetually late and walk in the classroom full of students ready and eager to learn, and everyone pauses to watch you trudge to your seat. What do you decide to do? Be awkward.
  3. When you are stopped at a red light and feel protected from the world in your safe vehicle, you think you are not being watched so you dig for some gold. Once you get that little bugger, you look up only to notice you are being snap chatted by the stranger stopped next to you. Congrats, you’re awkward.
  4. When you are finally seated in that class you are late to, and you break a little wind, you can’t help but look around to try to pretend to find the perpetrator. Awkward.
  5. When you walk in your dorm after a long, relaxing much-needed shower, only to find a small get together happening when you are only in a towel. What do you decide to do? Flail your arms and say you don’t know how to handle this situation (it’s a coping mechanism, trust me).
  6. When you spill ketchup on your lap…there is no getting around this. Just be awkward.
  7. When you drop the f-bomb in front of someone who definitely shouldn’t hear it, what do you decide to do? Be awkward of course, and handle it as poorly as possible.
  8. When you ask someone when they are due and they say they are not due at all, run away.
  9. When you can’t help but laugh at that extremely politically incorrect statement that no one else finds funny, turn it into a coughing spell. Just kidding, you’re incapable of that because you’re awkward. Congrats again.
  10. When you cut someone off who you realize you know, just pull over and let them get out of sight. This is the WORST because you’re a terrible and awkward person.
  11. When you say no to hanging out with someone because you’re awkward, but feel peer pressured to hang out with the other people because you’re even more awkward, and see the first person at the donut shop where you’re hanging out part two, just handle it as awkwardly as possible and see who cringes the most.

Just own it. You’re awkward, deal with it.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

We all have a person, and when that person makes some new friends, we tend to forget all the great things that can come out of it. Never forget how special they are to you and why you are best friends.
