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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
