If These 7 Traits Sound Familiar, You May Be A Fellow Socially Awkward Butterfly

Hi my fellow socially awkward butterflies of the internet, it's time for some real talk: we're awkward. And I just want to put a disclaimer out before we go any further on this journey that being awkward isn't a bad thing, in fact, I happen to think it's a fun quality to have. It just means we're free spirits with a little extra character not everyone has. So if this sounds like you, here are 7 things we do that are #relatable. Welcome to the club.

1. Taking pictures. Not as simple as it sounds.

What do we do with our hands?!

2. Walking in public.

Giphy

We lose all control over our bodies, especially when we're walking alone. Why is it so hard for us?

3. Don't even get me started with eating alone.

Giphy

My nerves are shot just thinking about this. I'd rather just eat in the privacy of my own home, thank you very much.

4. When someone catches you off guard and asks your name.

Giphy

Your response is never actually your name, it either comes out all wrong or sometimes even the wrong name. True story. I don't want to talk about it.

5. All of your friends have labeled you as the "awkward butterfly" of the group.

Giphy

I say wear it with pride.

6. Getting stopped at red lights and someone pulls up next to you.

Giphy

Do you look over at them? Do you stare right at the light and pray it'll turn green? Why is this so stressful!

7. Seeing people you know in public.

Giphy

Most people live in fear they'll see someone they know at Costco on the day they're not wearing makeup or even worse, on laundry day. For people like us, our literal living nightmare is seeing someone just because we haven't had the time to mentally prepare ourselves.

No Sex And Upstate New York

A modern-day reincarnation of Carrie Bradshaw's classic column

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
