If you are somebody who frequently has awkward moments every day of your life, then you will completely relate to this article. Enjoy these 15 awkward moments...

1. When you run into a door because you thought it was an automatic door.

2. When somebody says “Enjoy the movie!” And you reply with “Oh, I will. You, too!” but then you realize they aren’t watching a movie.

3. When you accidentally touch hands while walking with somebody, and that person thinks you’re trying to hold their hands.

4. When you try to tell a joke, but realize you are getting nowhere because: a) you laughed too much as you said the joke or b) you forgot the punchline.

5. When you stalk somebody on social media, and accidentally like something from several years ago.

6. When you’re unsure if a person is wanting a handshake or a hug, so you do an awkward gesture.

7. When even ordering food makes you feel uncomfortable and awkward just because.

8. When you say something, but then think, "Oh wait…that was weird…I bet they think I’m strange."

So you decide it’s best you don’t say anything from now on.

9. When you try to use a pun or a joke after something serious, but it doesn’t end well.

10. When you have already said “What?” to a person four times, and you still have no idea what they meant, so you go with the flow.

11. When you tell everyone you’re on level 1,173 on "Candy Crush," and they look at you like you are strange.

12. When you try to change topics quickly, so you say, "Anyway…so."

13. When you want to make a conversation with a stranger, but you can’t think of a way to make it a bearable conversation.

14. When you’re walking in front of a crowd, but then trip over your feet or air.

15. When somebody compliments you, and you're not sure how to react.

Hopefully, reading this isn’t so awkward anymore, but who cares if you are awkward? Embrace the awkward. That is what I do.

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.
