8 Awkward Encounters You Have in College

6

1. Skipping Class. 

We’ve all done it. After a late night studying, talking to our friends, and making that early morning Whataburger run, class just came too early and there was no way you were going to get up.

So a quick email to the professor about how sick you are gains you another hour of sleep before that class you just can’t skip. As you drag yourself to class, you run right into the professor of the class you skipped. You may exchange an awkward hello, or just hide your head in shame, but you know that look they are giving you means your next essay will just be graded that much harder.

1.

2. 2. Meeting someone for the 5th time.

We all know that one person that just can’t seem to remember you. You’ve met them at a friend’s house, bonded over the love of Canes, chatted walking across Fountain Mall, and yet they still don’t remember your name or even remember meeting you at all. Fear not, if you are someone that cannot remember people, go ahead and pretend you do, then call everyone you know and ask who this person could have been after you acknowledge this “strangers” existence.


3. Your phone goes off in class.

It’s happened to all of us and yet, there are always those people that glare at you as if you destroyed the Internet and hogged all the wifi.

4. Walk of shame.

It’s colder in the morning, you feel dirty because of not showering, your dress is 50 shades of shambly, and now that morning walk home. No matter if you were partying it up or simply got stuck on the most awkward double date and had to talk the friends ear off so your bestie could hook-up with the hot guy from her English class, the walk of shame sucks. The “I know what you did last night” smize from random strangers is creepy and invasive.

5. Pooping in anyone else’s bathroom.

I mean, everybody poops… Right?!??

6. Seeing a past significant other.

No matter how significant this other was, whether a one-night fling or a two-year flame, the awkwardness is filling the distance between you. Do you wave? Do you say something? Do you acknowledge their new significant other, no matter how much you immediately hate this new person? Do you apologize of creeping their Facebook and or the massive amounts of sub-tweets? The options are endless but most likely it’s just the awkward half wave or both completely ignore each others existence. But who really cares because they totally look awful and you defiantly won the break up.

7. Walking behind a group of slow people.

This only happens when you are running late to class. It’s hard to walk around because of course it only happens next to a street and walking through only causes stares and whispers. Plus parting the crowd is like trying to part the red sea without Moses.

8. Falling asleep in class.

Everyone does it and yet friends must make your tiredness a Snapchat story and a tweet. Even if your friends aren’t around to witness, the drool you have to wipe away and the imprints of your sleeve on your face are embarrassing enough.

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.
