Let me just start this article off by saying that I personally relate to every single of the struggles listed. I never, ever, know what to do with my body and I have no idea what I would do without pretend-texting while waiting for my friends outside of Einstein’s. I’m the girl you see saying sorry to the chair I just walked into, with at least one stain on every single one of my sweaters. So read on, collegiettes, because I know we all have a little awkwardness in us.
1. Not knowing what to do with your body.
2. Nervously eating everything in sight.
3. Always having food on your face and your clothes.
4. Trip over nothing. Alone. In the middle of the quad.
5. Walking into inanimate objects (and apologizing to them).
6. Stuttering while talking to boys.
7. Sweating while talking to boys.
8. Having your legs give out/go numb while talking to boys.
9. Thinking someone is waving to you. (They aren’t).
10. Pretending to text when you’re alone in public.
11. Two words: Word Vomit.
12. Attempting to dance in the townhouses and resembling a dying fish.
13. Accidentally liking someone’s Instagram from 84 weeks ago.
14. Having your stomach grumble in quiet, public places.
15. When someone says hi to you from a distance and you still have a very long gap before you pass them.
16. Making eye contact with your crush in Barone, going to casually sip water, and not being able to find your straw.
