" First and foremost, I would like to point out, that I go to art school. The amount of awkward moments (and people) that exist here, surpass all else! But we survive! We thrive! Awkward moments are bound to happen anywhere, but I have some tips that will hopefully save you from super awkward situations like the ones you see in the Traumarama section of Seventeen. Between the common room, coffeeshop, in clubs, the cafeteria, waiting for a bus and in the computer lab, you can get into an embarrassing situation basically anywhere!  The easiest way to avoid making something awkward is to laugh, because it&amp;#039;s is contagious! Some awkward situations you can sense from a mile away, and noticing little things will keep them from catching you off-guard. Did you have an awkward first meeting with that cutie guy from your English 100 class? I&amp;#039;m a firm believer in second chances! In all honesty, he probably won&amp;#039;t remember that awkward situation in the first place, so just be confident, and if he does remember, laugh it off! Take my awkward moment for example. My friend Allie and I went to the drawing studio one night to finish up some homework (bleh still lifes! You guys know how I feel about those...) and there were only a few other people there. While we setting up our stools, I fell flat on my butt! The room was full of laughter, including from the cute guy in the back! Instead of getting upset, I said, &amp;quot;Wow, the ground is so much more comfy to draw on!&amp;quot; and I stayed there for the rest of the time. Allie joined me, and pretty soon everyone was on the floor doing our homework together. Before we left, we marked where we were sitting to remember to sit there for next class to keep all the angles the same. It started off with me falling and everyone laughing at me, but I turned it into something that was totally awesome. Awkward situations are only awkward if you let them be, so don&amp;#039;t. Just flash a cute smile across the room, and own it. Even celebrities have a moment sometimes, so you&amp;#039;re totally okay! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
