College is the one time where you can become your own person and try new things. With this comes a multitude of things that you end up doing that later on you wish you didn't. Here are the stages of getting past that dreaded awkward moment...

1. Waking Up

When you initially wake up you will have a moment of pure bliss where you do not remember anything. However, everything will come flooding back to you at once. I encourage you not to panic just thank your lucky stars that you made it home and are sleeping in your own bed.

2. Learning What You did

Nothing is worse than checking your phone and seeing that embarrassing text you sent and those Snapchat videos you posted. At this point there is no going back so you might as well read those texts over again and watch those Snapchats to try and piece together the night before you delete them.

3. Call Your Friend

Everyone has that one friend (or friends) who you can talk to about anything. Nothing makes you feel better than having a friend who makes you feel good about whatever stupid thing you did. Text someone, cry,fall down, you name it and the next day your best friend will tell you to just "own that S**t!!!".

4. Own that S**t

Whatever stupid thing you end up doing just own it. Nothing is better than being yourself and if you end up making a fool out of yourself at least you can say you did it and you will always have the memory of it.

5. Laugh

Laughter is the best cure for anything. I have learned that you should never take yourself too serious. At the end of the day just laugh it off, it happened and you can't change it. As long as you can find the humor in every awkward situation that you put yourself through then it can't affect your life too bad.
