*Cue Exit*

Relatable Moments For The Awkward Person

To all my awkward people out there, it happens. The inevitable awkward smile.. I totally get that. But hey, what are you gonna do? Don't worry, you're not alone. We're all a little awkward in our own ways-- embrace it. You're bound to find comfort in knowing that you're not the only one, and I'm sure we can all admit to getting through these awkward hardships.

1. When the person in front of you takes the last plate of food, and you don't know how to leave the line.

*Exit scene as quickly and naturally as possible*

2. When you drop your drink or food in front of everyone.

And... don't exist, and don't exist.

3. Pretending to be on the phone to avoid conversation.

"hghkshgkhgiufdgnjdfkgnfguhfdgkjsbfguifhgjfsbguifsghfsg" *delete and retype*

4. When you chime into the convo, but no one hears you.

*and fade out real quick*

5. When someone waves and you think it's to you.

Reverts to swatting fly escape method.

6. When you realize you're in the back of someone's picture.

Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

7. When the treadmill throws a curve ball that's out of your league.

7.0...7.5....8.0....8.5..... *heart rate increases rapidly and not because you're exerting more energy than you ever have in your entire life*

8. When you miss your mouth eating.

*Checks to see if anyone saw*

9. When you go to leave, and they walk the same way.

*Silence, and a casual nod*

10. When the volume turns down but your singing voice doesn't.

At this point, accept defeat.

11. When someone asks you what you're eating.

Don't know why it's awkward, but it always will be.

12. Not being able to say whatcha want when ya want to.

I'm sorry.. I'm not a human being.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
