I was just born awkward.

17 Awkward Moments Everyone Has Experienced
BuzzFeed

Whether you're walking down the street or at the mall, awkward moments happen all the time. I'm a very awkward person and the worst awkward moments always happen to me when I least expect it. I could be strutting my stuff while walking out of Michael's and I could just walk straight into the glass door instead of the sliding one. You never know. Here are a few awkward situations that I think most of y'all have experienced.

1. Calling people by the wrong name.

I really did know who you were, I just can't speak today, I swear.

2. Mixing up twins.


If you're best friends with two twins and you still can't tell them apart, there is no hope in ever knowing the difference.

3. Sending messages to the wrong person.

Oh yeah, I'm talking about you to my friend. Sorry, I didn't mean to send that screenshot of our conversation to you.

4. When you say have a good morning/night and it's the opposite.

I'm convinced I'm nocturnal.

5. Calling a teacher "Mom".

It's not that I don't know that you're actually my teacher, I just wish that you were actually my mom sometimes.

6. Saying "Congratulations" to someone who isn't pregnant.

Oh, you're not pregnant? Excuse me for a minute while I go bang my head into that wall over there.

7. Forgetting someone's name.

It's at the tip of my tongue, I know it. Maybe.

8. Making eye contact with someone who is in the car next to you.

I'm sexy and you know it, that's really why you're staring at me, isn't it?

9. Waving at someone who actually wasn't waving at you.

Oh that's right, I don't have friends.

10. When your stomach growls really loud in a quiet classroom.

SHUT UP! *punches stomach hard*

11. Wishing someone a happy holiday when it isn't even that holiday.

Happy Easter, Merry Christmas, all the same holidays.

12. Sending an ugly/embarrassing Snapchat to the wrong person.

I hope you enjoy my forced double chin, buck teeth selfie. Please, just don't screenshot it.

13. When you're stalking someone and you like their picture from months or years ago on accident.

This is literally the most awkward thing ever, especially if you don't even follow the person. This has happened to me so many times, but I'm just going to continue stalking you anyway.

14. Trying to pull open a door that you're supposed to push.

They need to write "push" and "pull" in bigger, more vibrant letters. That's the real problem here.

15. Walking towards the wrong side of an automatic sliding door.

EVERY TIME I GO TO MICHAEL'S THIS HAPPENS.

16. When you accidentally tag the wrong person in a picture or post.

Did I do that on purpose so you can see how much fun I had or was it really an accident...?

17. When you're at a 4-way stop sign and no one can decide who is going to go first.

I think it's usually whoever's on the right goes first, but that isn't even going to help when everyone is waving at each other.

It's safe to say these are some of the most recurring embarrassing moments that happen to a lot of people. This article includes but obviously, is not limited to all the embarrassing moments out there. I'll probably have a new awkward encounter in the time it took for you to read this article.

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.
