in·tro·vert

noun

a shy, reticent person.

If you're an introvert, it means you're probably stereotyped as rude, antisocial, or boring. Believe me, there are many more stereotypes that come with the territory, but I'm here to dispel these totally far off myths. Yes, introverts enjoy their time alone and it can take a bit of time to warm up to others, but we genuinely enjoy being around others and we are completely capable of being the life of the party. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but to group every introvert together is just sad. While we possess many of the same traits, we also have very different personality traits.

1. Going out alone.

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to go out alone and have an enjoyable time. If you judge me for going out alone, I’m judging you for being so dependent on others.

2. People watching.

The social scene is the most fun when you don't have to interact with others, or when there's an animal present.

3. Having extroverted friends.

Having extroverted friends means there's a perfect balance. You can simply exist while also being the perfect match for your extremely social friend.

4. Constant naps.

Social interaction actually drains me. I have to take naps in between going to class or hanging out with my extroverted friends (luckily they understand and love naps just as much as I do).

5. When plans are canceled.

I pretend to be upset but inside I'm happy dancing. While I love being around others, I also love being alone to read a good book or binge Netflix. In fact, attached above this text is live footage of me when plans fall through.

6. Screening calls.

Thank goodness texting exists. Human interaction is cool but I will evade any kind of interaction that I can.

7. Avoiding small talk.

I love meaningful conversation but I hate small talk. Talking just for the sake of it is a hard pass from me.

8. Eating Out Alone

Whenever I’m out and someone calls/texts me to ask what I’m doing, i’ll say “I’m out to eat”. They’ll say “with who?” and I’ll respond “no one”. That’s when all hell breaks loose. I don’t know why eating out is such a taboo. Eating is one of my life’s largest pleasures and I find it most fun when I’m alone.

9. Being Your Own Bestie

Being comfortable with yourself is one of the most important things considering you won’t always have others around.

10. Ghosting

I don't know why but just disappearing for a short while just feels really great. After going ghost, I feel refreshed and ready to give my friends the unconditional love and support they deserve.


Regardless of where you fall on the introversion spectrum, it's impossible to deny that these are things you can't relate to.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
