A look into the lives of awkward humans.

"Sorry I'm Awkward"

You roll up into class “fashionably" late, or so you thought. Open the door as the teacher is in the middle of a lecture, and all eyes are now on you. AWKWARD. Or better yet, you introduce yourself to someone that you apparently already met downtown but were too “clouded of mind" to remember. AWKWARD. In this day and age, being awkward is synonymous with being ill-fit for society. If we had a superpower, it would probably be making our opponents feel so uncomfortable that they don't even know how to react. Anyways, you get the picture. As awkward people (AND people that think that they are cool and don't even realize how awkward they truly are), here are 10 unapologetic moments and struggles that we suffer through regularly. They just happen too often that apology becomes too much of a hassle.

1. We have a knack for texting things that some people are confused by.

2. We make this face at least three times each day.

3. We don't do coordination.


4. We don't even bother flirting with someone because we know that it will end tragically.

5. Dancing is an absolute no-no. Like, we do the world a favor by awkwardly standing in a corner.

6. At times, we can be too over-the-top when it comes to excitement.

7. We haven't quite mastered the art of taking of selfies yet.

8. We wave to people who don't wave back because we forgot that we only know them through FB stalking.

9. Our attempts at being funny fail…A LOT. More failures than success.


10. Despite all of this, we have learned to laugh at ourselves. At times you might catch awkward people randomly laughing.

So yeah, sorry not sorry. When life gives us lemon, we make strange, sour lemon juice instead of the lemonade that everyone enjoys. We make life too uncomfortable at times, but if you're indeed awkward, OWN IT. Sure you have your flaws, but no one is perfect. Life is more interesting with awkward people: you never know what to expect. Keep on being you and learn to accept yourself for who you truly and awkwardly are.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
