10 relatable awkward moments

Well, That Was Awkward.

Ever feel like you're constantly living your life as if you were Michael Cera in any movie he has ever done? Does your face ever go red because you're worried that your face is red? If so you may relate to these SMH worthy awkward moments, that always make for a hilarious story later.

1. The questionable high five .

Someone has their hand out so your gut reaction is to give them a high five. They walk away and say nothing, and then it dawns on you, they were actually trying to swat a fly.

2. The "I just washed my hands" handshake

You just left the bathroom hands clean and all, suddenly someone you want to make a good impression on comes over to meet you. You can't be rude, so you shake their hand and then immediately have to explain why their hands are now wet also.

3. The fart heard around the stall.

Going to the bathroom in public is normal and should never be a worry. Unless you're that person that had to pee so bad a loud release of gas slips and to your horror, someone is in the stall next to you. So to try to make it less awkward you laugh and say "oops" However the person next to you ignores you and it just gets worse.

4. Pee-shy

When you can't pee because there is someone in the next stall so you're on the toilet for a while. Your thoughts begin to race as you worry that they probably think you're taking a shit, leaving you self-conscious and more pee-shy then before.

5. What's up?

When someone says "what's up?' to you in the hall and you say nothing as they keep on walking....

6. Please, don't see me.

Seeing your parents friends in the grocery store and trying to dodge an awkward conversation so you have to hide out in the cereal isle for a while.


7. Seeing your therapist on the street

What?

8. Not hearing what someone is saying to you so you have to keep saying "what"? as your face turns bright red

9. "how do I get to the"...?

Someone on the street asks you for directions and you confidently reply. only to realize when they walk away you gave them the opposite route by mistake.

10. Sing out Louise

Sometimes you don't have your music so you have to be your own radio. It's all fine until someone you know comes running up to say "Hi," interrupting you. they didn't hear you but most likely they thought you were talking to yourself.

*spoiler alert all of these scenarios have happened to me but hey now I get to write about it for the public. Awkward moments keep life hilarious. Embrace them.

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.
