Challenge 25

65. What qualities or unique characteristics do you possess that would allow you to contribute to the University community? (Florida State)

I think I'm one of the X-men. I have this perfect ability hardly anyone has.
I make the atmosphere absolutely awkward.

.(awkward)
You see what I mean? I can make everything so damn awkward. This is one very useful characteristic that people might not be aware of. It might not seem so obvious, but it can torture people, it can create great memories, become topics of a conversation, and can even transform into a funny video or joke. Have ever heard of the most popular joke starting with "That awkward moment when...?"
To be more specific with awkwardness's usefulness:
I can make the atmosphere awkward by randomly arguing with someone, acting cocky until someone gets mad, saying something really lame, etc. Then the person in the middle will feel awkward and don't know what to do. I can make this happen to a person I don't like and give him/her a bad time.
However, in most cases it is used as an advantage. That is even better because the University community would probably want a positive contribution from this awesome quality.
It provides memories.
If something went really awkward, you would probably remember the incident and have memories of it. But it won't be a bad memory because it's neither embarrassing or heart-breaking. It will just be a funny memory in the end. And funny memories are extremely useful when you are with the girl you like and you don't have anything to say. You can talk about the awkward moments! And that prevents another awkward moment that was about to spoil your relationship. You could prevent a more critical awkward moment with a less important one! How awesome is that?
And finally for the video/joke part, if you haven't been through 9gag or NigaHiga's video, you probably can't disagree with me. And you are missing out A LOT in life. For example, from NigaHiga's video on awkward moments, he says something like "That awkward moment when you say bye to someone and realize you go the same direction," and shows a video of it where he is about to walk alongside someone he just said bye to, and stops awkwardly and acts like he is checking something on the phone. It is actually very funny if you watch it.
So, I can contribute to the University community so usefully by being awkward!!!

  1. I like how you used examples in this essay! however this essay was a little too informal. You could have written this in a more formal manner, especially since you are going to be sending this to a college. If this was no meant for a college, it was good and very entertaining!
