10 Uncomfortable Signs You're The 'Awkward Friend'
NY Mag

1. You’re the clumsiest

And you probably have a nickname related to being the biggest klutz.

2. You’re the loudest.

You're probably so focused on trying not to say anything weird that you're actually getting louder and louder by the second.

3. You often find your friend’s cutting you off right before you say something awkward in conversation.

Remember that time you started telling the cute boy at the bar all about your weird junior high years and your best friend rerouted the conversation? Yeah, have you thanked her for that lately?

4. Most everything comes out of your mouth in sarcasm or satire form.

You can't help it. Sarcasm is just your awkwardness defense mechanism. You come in two flavors: weird or sarcastic. Take it or leave it.

5. You usually follow up an awkward situation by telling the witnesses of a time something even more awkward happened to make the current situation seem better.

You're just trying to make them understand that you don't need their pity, this is just what your life is.

6. You laugh at inappropriate times.

Part of being awkward is getting even more awkward when you find yourself in an already awkward situation.

7. You don’t usually realize that you’re being awkward.

This is who you are. The awkwardness has become one with your personality.

8. You use random fun facts in conversation.

People are constantly reminding you to just stay chill so you force yourself to act normal. Normal people bring up random fun facts, right? It seemed normal coming out of your mouth until the awkward silence hit.

9. You don’t always think before you speak.

Blurt things out much? Yeah, it happens to the best of us.

10. Your friends often apologize to new people for your awkward behavior.

They love you for who you are but they also find it necessary to explain away your awkwardness.

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.
