Awkward A – Part 1

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Queen's U chapter.

We’ve all been subjected to it before; some of us are fortunate enough to move past it… some of us aren’t that lucky. Some of us get sucked in, tangled up, and lost in a life that we never chose. Some of us are Awkward.

You may think ‘who isn’t?’, but honestly… no one asked you.

This is a long and lonely road I walk. For you, going to the school cafeteria and making it to class are a regular part of your day. For me, each excursion is a mess of awkward conversations, sweaty palms, red cheeks, spilled drinks, and floppy boobs. Some of you may not be able to see the connection between these things and you should be thankful for that. Until now, you have lived a sheltered life- if you keep reading, that will change.

For obvious reasons, my identity will remain a secret. My life, on the other hand, will be yours to discover. These are my struggles and while the thought of them keeps me awake at night, it seems to make other people happy. Who am I to deny you all a little more laughter and happiness in your days? And if you ever think you’re having a bad day, maybe you can take a look at how my day has been going… Maybe I can put a smile on your face. I’m Awkward A and this is my life- for better, or worse.
