Probably one of the most awkward teenagers you've ever met. Hence the name of this blog.
I know, this name has probably already been taken and this phrase is probably overused, but it's a great saying and I live by it!
I'm going to be using this blog to let out all my feelings and thoughts to the Worldwide Web. And to reach out to other awkward teenagers that are going through this same phase.
I'm not trying to copy Jenna from the show Awkward, by the way. No one's life is as awkward as hers.... but i'm a close runner up, I think.
Nobody's probably going to read this, but it's nice to vent and I feel like I'm writing to someone... even though I'm probably the most least interesting person ever.
I'm in high school (freshmen, or Fresh Meat as the seniors oh so cleverly named us) , I do zero sports, zero extracurricular activities, I get okay grades at school, I barely go out, and I have about a total of 6 friends but that's not that bad.....but it kinda is, compared to how many i had last year and the year before that and the years before that and the year before that....
Over the years, I've become shyer and shyer and less outgoing. My theory is that I peaked to early maybe. When I first moved to where I live now from Georgia (which is a very far away), I quickly made friends so I wouldn't be how I am now. Reserved around people, quiet in places like class and around strangers.
I wished I waited until at least 8th grade to become more social, because in High school, that's where the best years of your life happen (supposedly)...or is that college? I don't know. Anyway, the reason I feel this way is because all year I've been hearing about parties and these cools events that had happened that my even my friends went to that were awesome. The point is, i'm tired of missing everything and staying holed up in my house except to go to church or to the store or to go to my step dad's apartment for forced family time.
I wanna go out! I wanna go to those awesome parties and those school dances and see all the scandalous things that happen there that people talk about the day after! This summer, i'm gonna learn to be more open and social, so when I return to school, I can stand out and show my true personalty and not be invisible.
Wow, i didn't mean to get all preachy there (and corny). But it 'tis the truth!
Be more outgoing, and socialize! Consider that my extremely late New Year's Resolution!
