When you first start dating someone, you might find more than a few uncomfortable moments. But why are relationships so awkward in the beginning? Psychologically, what is going on there? Though it may seem as though everything should be super chill…

Although some people are natural born flirters, others are not. Unfortunately for me, I happen to fall in the latter group. Unless I’ve had a couple glasses of wine, I'm bad at flirting. I’m literally incapable of it. So much so that in college when…

Oh, Awkward. Always the little MTV show that could, the comedy has impressively managed to survive for five seasons. Now the question is, will that streak last? Will Awkward return for Season 6, or will Tuesday night's episode mark the series…

I need to get real for a second. I'm super excited about Zayn's new album, Mind Of Mine. And, believe me, if you told me I would be excited for Zayn Malik's solo career a few years back, I would have looked at you like you were crazy. But with super…

Between our parents, our friends, and our co-workers, we hear a lot of conflicting advice about how to dress. We dispute appropriateness, quality vs. trendiness, what should be wardrobe staples, etc. But no matter where you stand on either side of…

Growing up is hard, and unfortunately, you mostly just have to wait out the "awkward" phase. There's no good way to predict how puberty will unfold for you, let alone rush yourself through it, so when your mom said you'd outgrow those problems…

Listen, this might be hard for you (me) to understand, but life is not written by Nora Ephron, and not every New Year's Eve is a scene from When Harry Met Sally, nor does it include a New Year's Eve kiss. Maybe you (me) had a stinker of a year, and…

A recent Adam and Eve survey even found that 70 percent of Americans have admitted to having a one-night stand. And, why not? Having a one-night stand can prove to be a transformative or learning experience for some. Personally, my first ever…

Good-bye Palos Hills High School and hello college. The cast of Awkward is going on hiatus, but when they come back they will be a year wiser. Awkward is jumping into the future for Season 5B and catching up with the cast the summer after their…

Love isn't blind, and we sure know dating isn't blind, either. There are a lot of nuanced factors that go into triggering that ultra-dopamine rush... especially one that can be sustained long enough between both parties to necessitate developing a…

If you ever felt lonely on a Saturday night, maybe it’s time to move to Korea, where this Korean restaurant for single people exists. That’s right. Imagine the fear of going out to eat alone being replaced by the fear of forced eye contact with a…

There’s only 40-something days left of high school for the students at Palos Hills and the Awkward drama is not letting up any time soon. With graduation rapidly approaching, it’s natural for the students to start thinking about their futures and…

Awkwardness is a hard thing to define, mainly because it's different for everyone. But for me, it's that feeling of shifting your weight from foot to foot, waiting for the chance to contribute to a conversation happening around you... only to miss…

Let's talk about vaginas. Or hoo-has. Or papayas. Or vajayjays. No matter what you call your vagina, there's no denying that what's between your legs is pretty freaking awesome. It's the entrance for fun stuff like penises and dildos, and the exit…

The Awkward Season 5A premiere brought fans up to date with the class of 2015, right as they stumbled back from an eventful spring break. Some unfortunate folks came back from their time in the sun with a bit more than just a sunburn. For example,…

From the moment it started, Monday night's Awkward Season 5 premiere brought a ton of drama. Oddly enough, the episode begins in a closet full of nude high school seniors. It becomes clear that Matty's brilliant plan as "Senior Prank Captain" was to…

Awkward returns to MTV on Monday night for Season 5A, and I have to say I'm impressed with this show's staying power. It may be the network's scripted secret weapon and MVP. Can you stream MTV's Awkward?Fortunately, MTV is not making it difficult to…

High school is coming to a close at Palos Hills and I think everyone is wondering whether or not Matty and Jenna will end up together on Awkward . They have been through so many ups and downs over the years that I'm worried they may not make it. In…

When we last saw Jake Rosati, he had just received his rejection from Northwestern and made the mistake of sleeping with Gabby, Matty’s girlfriend. On Monday night, we'll see him again when Awkward returns for Season 5 Monday night at 9 p.m., and…
