10 Uncomfortable Signs You're The 'Awkward Friend'
NY Mag

1. You’re the clumsiest

And you probably have a nickname related to being the biggest klutz.

2. You’re the loudest.

You're probably so focused on trying not to say anything weird that you're actually getting louder and louder by the second.

3. You often find your friend’s cutting you off right before you say something awkward in conversation.

Remember that time you started telling the cute boy at the bar all about your weird junior high years and your best friend rerouted the conversation? Yeah, have you thanked her for that lately?

4. Most everything comes out of your mouth in sarcasm or satire form.

You can't help it. Sarcasm is just your awkwardness defense mechanism. You come in two flavors: weird or sarcastic. Take it or leave it.

5. You usually follow up an awkward situation by telling the witnesses of a time something even more awkward happened to make the current situation seem better.

You're just trying to make them understand that you don't need their pity, this is just what your life is.

6. You laugh at inappropriate times.

Part of being awkward is getting even more awkward when you find yourself in an already awkward situation.

7. You don’t usually realize that you’re being awkward.

This is who you are. The awkwardness has become one with your personality.

8. You use random fun facts in conversation.

People are constantly reminding you to just stay chill so you force yourself to act normal. Normal people bring up random fun facts, right? It seemed normal coming out of your mouth until the awkward silence hit.

9. You don’t always think before you speak.

Blurt things out much? Yeah, it happens to the best of us.

10. Your friends often apologize to new people for your awkward behavior.

They love you for who you are but they also find it necessary to explain away your awkwardness.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
