Some people never had an awkward phase. Some of us definitely, definitely did though. For me, and many others, that phase lasted from middle school through the beginning of high school. Obviously, now that I'm in college, it's been quite a while since that time.

That being said, sometimes I forget that I'm not still that awkward little teenager who couldn't look people in the eye when she talked to them and wasn't able to successfully complete a skincare routine more than two days in a row. If you can relate, here are five residual effects from your awkward phase, if you've managed to move out of it.

1. You can totally see the glow-up when you look at old pictures.

Wow. You did that.

2. You definitely know how to be single.

Other people are freaking out about being single, and you're over here chilling.

3. You have sympathy for those still in the awkward phase.

You know there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and they're gonna make it.

4. You're still wary of the people who never had an awkward phase.

It's just not fair. It's unnatural.

5. Even though you made it out, some days you still feel like that awkward eighth grader.

It's okay to regress if it's temporary. Three days maximum.
