1. Those moments when you try to walk with confidence in front of attractive people but end up…well, painfully awkward. 

Well. You tried.

2. When you or someone else you know is still hung up over their ex and there’s a total emotional breakdown.

Now, now. Stop all that crying stuff.

3. When you realize that everyone’s Throwback Thursdays aren’t always as awkward as your freshman moments…

At least your mom said you were cool.

4. When the time comes for job interviews involving your major and the manger asks about your experience / internships.

Yeah. About that…

5. Every now and then boys just don’t understand our awkward “I-feel-everything-and-I’ll-take it-out-on-anyone” moods. How exactly are we supposed to feel?

I feel you girl.

6. Then there are those moments where you feel like you have to explain yourself to someone for your cravings… 

Uhhh, it was just a bite… or six. Just let me eat, dammit!

7. There are always those rare moments when someone will actually compliment you and the response is way over the top. “Nice shirt.” … “Thanks! You’re so kind. Bless you. Have everything in life stranger. You’re fab!” *Emotions*

8. Some days, your entire outfit is on point and you’re feeling almost as flawless as Beyonce. Then you realize another girl is wearing the same outfit.

Oh. Hell. No.

9. That awkward moment when you’re in the middle of your major classes and you have a mid-life crisis and question changing your major.

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE?!

Well, college is basically one big awkward moment (after the awkward younger school years of course). So, really, what do people expect from those of us who were born to live the awkward life?

Hey there! My name is Tori and I am a sophomore (and 3/4) at the University of Georgia. My lifestyle is mainly big city, sunshine state girl turned slightly southern. I currently live a Vegan lifestyle because I love all animals, except bugs... yuck. I have a job as a Beachbody coach, attend school, sob at cheesy romantic movies, and I'm apparently the best single person to go to for all your relationship advice (why me?!?). I am a fun loving and free spirit that likes to do oddball things in my spare time! :) Peace, love, and GO DAWGS!
