Awkward moments are one of the greatest things to witness in life, but not necessarily one of the best to be involved in (unless you like that sort of thing). When you are submerged in an awkward moment, you feel like you should do anything in your power to punch all of the awkward participants in the face and yell. Or something of the sort.

There are also a few different types of awkward motions you can do, and I’m sure mostly everyone has heard them. You have the awkward turtle, awkward turkey, awkward basically any animal you can think of, probably. One of my favorite things, though, is the ‘it’s hot in here’ awkward motion.

If you aren’t aware of this, when something is really awkward all you do is put a finger in the collar of your shirt, and pull it out a little, as if it’s so awkward that it’s really hot.

The only reason I bring this up is because of a pretty funny story from Freshman year. The really short annoying kid was ‘drunk’ one night, and was chasing around one of the hot girls on our floor. Now, this was funny in itself, because he actually thought he had a chance with girls. So anyway, he was chasing this girl around the floor… and it was really awkward.

Up to this point in the year, my roommate (Wheaton) and I had been doing the awkward ‘it’s hot in here’ thing, and it had been pretty funny. So anyway, on this specific occasion, my roommate went out into the hall to watch this, and after they ran by, he did the awkward ‘it’s hot in here’, but it was so awkward, he put both hands on his collar and just ripped his shirt off.

There was no alcohol involved in this, and it’s not necessarily the funniest story in the world. However, it was really funny at the time, so I guess it’s one of those “you had to be there” stories. Or, as my friends would say, it was a ‘Mike Story’. I will explain those tomorrow.

If I hadn’t mentioned it before… my name is Mike…
