7 Truths About Dating Me, The Awkward Girl

I refuse to apologize for doing the hand-jive at the club.

7 Truths About Dating Me, The Awkward Girl
Hollywood

Look, for most of us who are unapologetically awkward, let me just clarify that we didn’t CHOOSE to be this way. God just had a sense of humor and thought to Himself, “Hey, you know what would be comical? If she made everyone uncomfortable and awkward in all social settings.” I see you God, I see you.

There have been times where I wonder to myself, “Why did I make that bad joke? I knew I would be the only one to find it funny, yet I still told it and ended up snorting in front of EVERYONE.”

Or in those super awkward situations when I receive a compliment (hahaha I know, like what??) and instead of accepting the compliment, I just laugh and then make the ugliest face known to man, really highlighting how many chins I can have.

But listen, when it comes to dating the overly awkward girl, there are some perks. Sure, you’ll have to suffer through some uncomfortable encounters, but listen, they aren’t THAT bad. I mean, they could be worse, right?

1. You never have to worry about making a situation uncomfortable or awkward.

Your girl has already got you covered. Rest easy, my friend.

2. A casual trip to the grocery store (or basically anywhere) is always an adventure.

I can guarantee she’ll either start dancing with no music playing or running around the store like a kid.

3. She'll make ugly faces whenever it’s completely unnecessary.

There is no rhyme or reason to why the crossed eyes and strangely contorted facial expressions are happening, but they are, so you better just embrace it. Oh, and weird noises. Can’t forget those.

4. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Bad jokes and terrible puns.

You’ll hear them so much that I can almost promise you that you’ll start saying them too. Can’t stop, won’t stop, am I right?

5. Your idea of flirting is quoting The Office and referencing New Girl as much as possible.

While I appreciate this, because I do it religiously, some don’t get it. But listen, you don’t need the negativity from those people. You do you, boo boo.

6. Going to a party? Your girl is either going to be in the corner eating some food she found in the fridge or food she brought with her.

If it's neither of those, you can bet she's wherever the pet in the house is. People are tough, animals are a breeze because they don't judge the weird stuff you say, they will lick you and love you anyway.

7. Going to the club? She'll probably break out her wicked dance moves like the hand-jive or the sprinkler.

It's gonna get weird, folks.

Maybe you do all of this, maybe you do none of it. Everyone has their own set of awkward tendencies. No matter what they are, embrace them. You’re keeping the world just a bit more interesting, and slightly uncomfortable, but mostly interesting.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
