Awkward moments. Some people thrive on them while others detest them, but either way you roll–they are pretty hard to avoid. A viral meme entitled “That Awkward Moment” has given new meaning to the phrase and gives a more comical spin on those uncomfortable instances that usually leave us red in the face and avoiding eye contact. I’ve collected some of the best “That Awkward Moment” pictures from the web to show to all of you!

Side note: That awkward moment when you’ve typed the word “awkward” so much it starts to look like it’s spelled wrong.

Odds are that during Thanksgiving break, you’re going to be asked millions of questions that you DO NOT want to answer. From jobs to boyfriends, your family and friends are going to be curious about every part of your life.

Hooking up is a lot of fun, we all know this. Whether it’s with a boyfriend, a good friend or not a friend at all–getting in bed with someone at the end of the night is always better than going home alone.

BUT there is the potential that something could go wrong in one of these steamy situations. We’re just humans, people, and we make mistakes. No matter how well the hook up is going, there’s a chance it could turn around really quickly. Here’s a few things that could make your sex switch from fabulous to not-so-great.

[One of the greatest aspects of college life is the morning-after recap with friends. You stumble out of bed, grab your liquid of choice, and gather around the living room to replay (and remind yourself of) the events of last night. You laugh, you cringe and you share the highest of highs...and the rock-bottom lowest of lows. We thought we'd bring the fun of the recap to CollegeCandy, so grab that coffee and take part in the deliciously awkward moments your CC friends have to share.]

I was out at a classy lounge the other night (I can legit say this now that I have entered legality), when a nice young gentleman started to make passes at me. Like any normal girl, I was wary of speaking to a stranger with a receding hairline but, thanks to a slightly humorous opener, I kept talking to him long enough to find out that he was an attorney. I practically humped his leg like an excited dog. And not because I’m a gold digger who thinks that an attorney can buy her lots of Gucci and Botox.

It’s because for the last three months I have been cooped up in my room under a hot desk lamp studying non-stop for the LSAT. And in my “drunken haze” (I had one beer, which got me tipsy…what? I’ve been studying!) it seemed that there was nothing more exciting than finding someone who had also studied for the LSAT.

Yup, that’s right – my life had been reduced to excitement over someone having filled out similar bubbles on a similar standardized test.

I gushed about how much I had been studying, and asked him for tips on logic games. I even whipped out my book (yes, I had it with me…) to open it up to a problem I had been having difficulty with. Maybe not so eager to play teacher (unless I was in a naughty schoolgirl uniform), Attorney Man stopped me mid sentence.

“Hey, you don’t socially interact much, do you?” Then he turned and walked away… without buying me that drink he had been so eager to get me before.

And there I was, standing alone at the bar. Just me and my LSAT text book.

I learned my lesson that night fo sho. Not to say that intelligence isn’t sexy, but I think we can all agree that as a rule of thumb that logic games are not a good way to mack on strangers. When it comes to flirting, the first step is to leave the books at home. Or at least tucked away in your trendy oversized hobo bag where no one can see.
