I don't know about you, but I can't think of a more awkward time in my life than when I was in high school. Thankfully, my awkward times in high school can't even compare to those of Jenna Hamilton from MTV's teenage comedy
Awkward.
Starring Ashley Rickards as the super ill-fated Jenna,
Awkward follows the craziness that poor Jenna just can't avoid as she chases her dream boy. The show is like PG version of the
American Pie series crossed with
My So Called Life, filled with plenty of hilarious moments, like parents helping high-schoolers throw ragers, pink eye being spread in hot tubs, and a full-on neckbrace/arm cast combination, to name a few.
I know that MTV no longer centers itself on playing music videos, but luckily shows like
Awkward have killer soundtracks (as pointed out to me by fellow Shuffler
Hugh), so I guess I'll cut the network some slack. The first season included some huge artists like Ellie Goulding, Wavves, Fake Problems and the Antlers, but also featured some up-and-coming bands like Tiny Animals, Geographer, Royal Bangs, Big Scary, The Pass, and Dinosaur Feathers. These all come together for a pretty awesome playlist.

Awkward and want to catch-up, you can check out full episodes from seasons past
