Yes we have all been there, basically from the second we are born we are naturally awkward in many ways, and unfortunately as we grow older (teenage years through adult years) we begin to notice these awkward things we do almost daily.

Its inevitable, although you might not be awkward all the time, there's a little bit of awkwardness in everyone, and here are 12 awkward things you find yourself doing almost daily...

1. Pretending to look at something in the store because someones in front of the thing you need

Casually strolling down the peanut butter isle and of course the one kind you need someone is standing in front of, so you stand there looking at all the jelly flavors until they move, and maybe even read the nutrition facts because those two minutes feel like 10 minutes.

2. Hair got your tongue?

That awkward moment when you there's a hair in mouth, but you can't find it so you stand there grabbing your tongue continuously until you do.

3. When you tell a story but nobody listens

*Thinks of a story you're excited to tell and starts to talk* only to realize 10 seconds later nobody is listening so you slowly fade out what you're saying and sit back like it never happened.

4. Driving down the road and having to abruptly stop singing

You have the AUX plugged in and you're jammin' hard to your own concert and you have to abruptly stop because you pass a car who is starring you dead in the eyes. *pushes rewind button to start song over and sing it again*

5. Holding the door for everyone and there brother

Nicely holding the door for a cute old couple when all of the sudden it ends up being there 4 children, 12 grandchildren, there 8 kids, and the 50-person marching band that was playing down the street.

6. Realizing you're walking the wrong way and improve kicks in

Just gradually strolling down the sidewalk only to realize you're going the wrong way, so you nonchalantly hit your pockets up and down to act like you forgot something and turn the other way.

7. Saying Hi or waving to nobody

When someone walks by you waving in front of you or says hi only to realize there's someone behind you they are talking to or on the phone with someone... *awkwardly uses raise hand to act like you're scratching your back.*

8. Agreeing with someone because you can't seem to understand them

Awkwardly talking to someone and they ask you or tell you something so you say "what?" not once, not twice, but three times so you just agree with whatever they said and smile.

9. When your friend sees someone they know and you stand there awkwardly

Walking around with your friend and all the sudden you hear "Hey Susan!" and they run over, hug each other, and start a conversation so you just stand there looking around like "wow that's a really nice light bulb over there."

10. When you're singing a song and you sing the wrong lyrics

That awkward and defeating moment when you're singing a song and you sing a part of the song that doesn't come on for one minute and then sit there awkwardly humming until you know the lyrics again.

11. When someone says "tell me about yourself"

One of the most nerve-racking questions is when someone says "tell me about yourself" and you suddenly forget your name, hair color, and whether you're on Earth or not.

12. Checking your phone to see what time it is twice because you forgot the first time

Picking up your phone to check the time only to get distracted by a notification, set the phone back down and 30 seconds later do the same thing again because you forgot to look at the time.

Stay awkward, everyone!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
