Let's face it, we ALL have encountered those awkward moments where we don't know what to do but make an idiot of ourself.

"A" is for Awkward

Hey kids have you ever encountered a situation that made someone or yourself feel extremely uncomfortable? Did you feel like you wanted to crawl into a hole while it was happening? Or curse at science for not coming up with an invisibility cloak to hide your shame? I mean come on science, Back to the Future said by 2015 we would have this kind of fun, futuristic stuff! Did you ever wonder, "Has anyone else felt like this?" 

If you have contemplated these questions for more than 5 seconds then boy do I have some pants-wetting news for you: this article is chalk full of all things awkward. Let's face, it we have all been there and done that, a.k.a we have all been there and made a fool of ourselves in front of others. Goodness knows I have. I currently hold the world record for most awkward confrontations, 20 years going strong! So sit back, relax, and dive deep into the cesspool of awkwardness. 

You encounter the awkward situation and in your mind you are thinking...

You try to avoid eye contact as much as possible by looking around. Literally anywhere.

Unfortunately that doesn't work half of the time and you make eye contact.

You have no clue what to do, so you do the only thing you can do... and sometimes it just DOES NOT WORK OUT and you end up looking stupid.

Or you think it's someone you know annnnnnd it's not.

Like not even close. Now you look like even more of an idiot than before.

Now you feel like crying...

Or crawling into a hole...

Sometimes you encounter someone you do know, a.k.a. with your luck it's your crush, so you decide to smile at them and it ends up looking like this...

Or this...

Or the opposite and you try to act cool and you think you look like this...

Or this...

But in reality you end up looking like this...

Or this...

And now you want to do this...

But in the end when it's all said and done and you have finally reached your destination and now you end up looking like this...

Thanks for reading! Cheers!

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.
