My Life Is Average (abbreviated MLIA) is a Web site comprising user-submitted stories about their daily lives. Stories often follow the format, "Today [amusing but mundane thing] happened. MLIA." The first stories published were genuinely average: Things about eating, sleeping or going to class. The site has since evolved into a celebration of the everyday extraordinary, including unusual sightings, lucky finds and Harry Potter references. MLIA.

• The World Is Just Awesome: The viewpoint of many posters.
