We all have our own set of awkward moments.
Take it from me; I can go from being the most extroverted girl to just a fly on the wall in a matter of seconds depending upon what awkward situation I've managed to walk into. But see I didn’t choose the awkward life; the awkward life chose me. Maybe you’re just like me. But of course, you and I are not the only awkward ones around.. In fact, we are part of a cohort of select intelligent individuals ,who have been chosen to take part in such a distinct lifestyle.
Not only are we a part of this cohort, but we also have our very own audience. That’s right! In fact, I have compiled some specific scenes that are considered “fan favorites” from our cohort’s entertaining show.
