If You're An Awkward Person, You Can Relate

If You're An Awkward Person, You Can Relate

We've all gone through life experiencing similar situations. Some of us handle them better than others. If you're anything like me, most of these situations turn into fairly awkward experiences. Why I can't react like any normal person? I have yet to figure out. BUT I'm sure some of you out there can relate, I can't possible be the only one!

1. God forbid someonetell us something positive about ourselves. 50 shades of grey? Our faces will show you 50 shades of red. Do I say thank you? Do I agree? No, hide my face. I should definitely hide my face!


2. Phsyical contact? Sure, there are probably a select few we awkward individuals enjoy hugs from. Otherwise, what an awkward situation, not a comforting one, to have someone's arms wrapped around you. Will this last for 3 seconds? 10 seconds? Oh gosh, you're crying? How about a high-five instead?

3. Well, we're human! Yeah, we catch feelings just like the rest of you. Admitting it? That's a slightly different story. Instead, we cringe at the thought of the serious talks to come.

4. Of course, there will come a time when we all meet someone who gets us to dig into that affection we don't typically put to use. The reaction of your friends overhearing you being affectionate to anyone will always be priceless. What better way to make a moment awkward than too be calle out for having feelings!

5. Walks in on someone crying.... and right back out. Surely walking out is better than patting them on the head like a dog right?

6. Seeing someone you know in public but not knowing what level of friendship you're on. Wave? No. Go talk to them? No. Ends up taking two steps toward them, one step back, a half wave, andddddd they miss the wave. Yep, now I'm the awkward girl waving at no one.

7. Goes in for a fist-bump. Nope, this is a handshake. Shit! Wait, is this a gang thing? Pinky promise? Damn, it's definitely thumb war.

8. Two Words: EYE CONTACT. One Word: NEVER

9. Talking boys with your mom: Who's the boy who liked your Instagram picture? So, that means you're dating right? "Talking"? What is talking? Damnit Mother, just damnit.

10. Thanksgiving. 'Nuff said.

Do you have a boyfriend? What are you going to do after college? Do you have job lined up for May? You're cousin is engaged, hopefully you're next!

Can I just wear a shirt that says YES I'm still single, NO I have no idea what I'm doing with my life, and NO I won't be engaged next because I'm too awkward to date.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
