25 Awkward Moments in College

Moving in with people you've never met before can get pretty interesting, to say the least. College classes a professors are a lot different from what you had in high school. Getting used to these changes can get pretty awkward. For example:


The first week of classes when people go to the wrong room

Also the first week: finding out you have three classes with your fling from last semester (that happened to end badly)

Opening a snack during a lecture

Walking in to class late and everyone stares at you…not only that, but your professor makes it a point to say hello to you and announce your name to everyone (in case they hadn’t noticed you already)

Running into a one-night stand…literally

Accidentally making eye contact with your prof after they ask a question

The first time you walk in on your roommate naked…it’s bound to happen

Enthusiastically waving to your friend and they don’t see you

Holding the door for someone for an obscene amount of time and they just walk through without saying thank you

Or when someone right in front of you lets the door slam in your face

When no one in the class did the reading

People talking in class when you’re actually trying to pay attention, but you don’t want to be that person

Seeing your professor off-campus

Tripping on the stairs in between class blocks

When you see your hot neighbor for the first time

When the prof says to pair up and you literally don’t know anyone

Going to office hours

Introductions on the first day and you can’t remember what you’re supposed to tell the class

When you get in the elevator with someone and it stops at the second floor

Seeing someone you don’t know but your roommate does, so you know things about them that you probably shouldn’t

When you walk into class and someone is in your unassigned assigned seat

Freshman year and you’re just standing in the middle of campus hoping someone you know walks by so they can tell you how to get to your class

Going to brunch and hearing all of the stupid things you did the night before

Walking in on your roommate having sex with his/her significant other

And, the classic: incorrectly answering a question out loud in class with confidence

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.
