"awkward" moments

hi <-- thank you jake metcalf.

we have all experienced our fair share of awkward moments. some being purposeful, some accidental, others... well you just can't avoid them. i've noticed that they are fewer and further between when i'm NOT at school. here, we're all awkward.

having people watch you while you put on your chapstick.
dropping utensils/plates/cups in the Ho.
making an utter fool of yourself playing ping pong in Pops.
walking into the wrong class because it's monday, and you thought it wasn't.
you're the only two people in a lobby and an elevator full of people opens up. no one gets off.
that moment when you have to readjust your own drivers seat because someone else drove your car.

the list goes on and on. college life is just plain awkward. but for this, i am thankful. it provides entertainment. it provides an out for those moments that you just can't explain without shouting about how awkward it was. these moments have become so enjoyable that you actually find yourself looking for them. you meet so many more people when you embrace the awkward series of events that occur in college. i never would have met Zach Smith if it weren't for him walking through the lobby when i'm sitting out there EVERY SINGLE TIME he comes up.

with that being said, the awkward moments i have experienced have hands down been some of the best. i've met new people, had great stories to tell and really made my college career (thus far) ten times better.
