Roast Edition: Why I Live For Those Awkward Moments
Wikipedia

What is better than seeing someone you slept with, out on the town with some new trick? Answer: A large sum of cash (probably because I’m not that lucky). Anything else, I would say the limit does not exist, isn’t that what Lindsay Lohan said? It doesn’t exist, at all; we can all agree that whenever you run into an awkward moment you are low key smiling about it, also while having the facial expression of looking constipated. Yes we are nervous, but we really don’t give a shit.

Awkward moments are vital to making sarcastic assholes like me; make fun of others like say our exes, or any other situation in general. Truth be told, there is nothing more awkward then when I oversaw a lady ask another lady where her husband was, and she responded “This is actually my wife.” No we aren’t laughing because this lady is a lesbian; let’s establish that before my sensitive generation starts crying. We are laughing because this other woman was dumb enough to think that everyone else was just like her. Probably in a shitty marriage, and having sex with her neighbor. In fact, that turns out to be more awkward then her harmless intent of asking someone if she had a husband.

I have concluded that everyone at some point lives this big giant awkward life and it starts when we are born. Let’s be honest here, how creepy are the freaking teletubbies and why the hell did some parents think these awkward aliens were entertaining? I get it; maybe they are a little funny sober or not, but only because they are awkward as hell. What’s even more awkward is being that kid who grew up watching PBS, when everyone else was watching Disney and Nickelodeon. This is a total 90’s kid problem, and if you don’t understand, then that is awkward. Did you grow up watching the wiggles or something? Or probably one of those good ole boy shows from way back when, you know the ones our elders talk about every day.

Life has absolutely blessed us all with these awkward moments. I think I live for it. Why make these situations worse then what it really is? In other words, why not just laugh at those horrible awkward moments rather then become offended? Life is way too short to be serious all the time, so I’ve chosen to embrace the awkwardness.

You will have to choose your own criteria for awkward moments, but if you’re like me, you laugh at anything and everything just because. There is nothing more liberating then feeling that tension in the room, all while keeping a smile on your face. Or that constipated look rather. You could make things awkward just by doing that. It’s easy to make the room full of awkward looks and people. Just remember the lady addressing the lesbian in the room. I’m sure she felt really awkward.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
