8 Signs You're Socially Awkward

Interacting with people can be pretty challenging. I mean, some people are much better at it than others! To all those who consider themselves awkward noodles: you are not alone.

1. When you go out in public and will do anything (and I mean anything) to avoid people you don't want to see.

It would be so easy to just put on a happy face and wave, maybe even smile, but I mean come on! Hiding in the chips aisle in the grocery store will have to do for now.

2. When you go out to a party and quickly realize you've been chilling in the corner for the past two hours.

Suddenly you're downing that delicious concoction, flying solo. You actually didn't even realize you were being antisocial until your group of friends come looking for you... Or that creepy dude makes a comment about you being all cool and mysterious. Happens to the best of us.

3. When you do get the energy to go out, and you're not hiding in the corner, you somehow find yourself in bed by 12 o'clock. If you made it that long.

I mean who doesn't love those nights where you're all cozy in bed devouring a bag of Tositos, covered in queso. No? Just me?

4. That cute boy you've been eyeing for weeks finally gives you the time of day and you totally blow it.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Yeah, good. Ok bye now!" *Sprints away*

5. That professor that makes no sense finally asks a question you know, but you just can't get yourself to raise your hand.

Mehhhh. I'll just let someone else answer this question! Again. (Keep telling yourself you'll get the next one.)

6. After the weekend when your body feels and looks like cottage cheese, you finally make it to the gym! But there's too many cute boys and people there...

You strut in feeling all proud and happy you finally got your butt to the gym. You continue walking in only to see that the gym is crowded and full of people who can watch you struggle (real hard) on the treadmill. Yep, in and out peeps.

7. Taking pictures with friends is practically harder than brain surgery.

Taking pictures is just a painful task. After take 37, you and your friends are over it and you accept the fact that you have nothing to do with your hands. Not one is Instagram worthy.

8. You are deathly afraid of being the center of attention.

Birthdays are cool and all, but that singing of 'Happy Birthday' really gets you. Needless to say you definitely did not have a Sweet Sixteen party.

If you find yourself relating to everything mentioned above. Congratulations, you are officially socially awkward!

Welcome to the club my fellow awkward humans.

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.
