10 Perks Of Being An Introvert

There's way more to being an introvert than avoiding all social contact with other people.

Most of the time when people think of introverts, they think of hermits who have no friends. They think of that person at the party who's standing against the wall because they would rather not be there. However, while there may be a little truth to the party thing, introverts know how to have fun in an entirely different way.

1. You always have a wonderful selection of comfy relaxation clothes handy.

As an introvert you probably spend a lot of time inside. So you need all the necessary gear: Sweatpants, over-sized shirts, and in case of emergency a couple onesies.

2. When your friends cancel plans it's actually a relief.

Oh you have to take a rain check? That sucks I was totally looking forward to spending all night at that wild party....not!

3. You always know what the best shows on Netflix are.

While most people spend hours looking for the perfect show to watch on Netflix. You already have a queue of amazing shows begging to be marathoned at a moment's notice.

4. You understand the importance of the little things.

Who needs to go out every weekend and party all night? You know just how fun it is to have a small dance party in your living room with a couple of your close friends!

5. You need snacks? I've only bought a grocery store's worth.

When you stay inside a lot snack foods quickly become a necessity. Pizza rolls, ice cream, grapes, chips, you name it and it's probably in the fridge.

6. You are the most considerate neighbor without even trying.

Your last neighbor always through parties and blasted music all night? Don't worry, the most you'll have to endure is me screaming at the scary movies I'll be watching at two in the morning.

7. When you do go out, it's an occasion.

No one knows how to make the most of a night out like an introvert! We don't get out often so when we do, we make sure to take full advantage of every opportunity. No one is ever ready for your sick dance moves!

8. You're the first person your friends call when they need a movie night.

When your extrovert friends eventually grow tired of going out all the time, you'll be the first person on their call list to have a fun night of Netflix and video games. I mean, who else is going to want to marathon all 18 seasons of "Friends" with you?

9. No one appreciates getting home from a long day of socializing like you do.

Unlike extroverts, introverts get energy by spending time alone. So nothing is better than getting home and spending some quality alone time regaining your energy. What could be better than hanging out by yourself?

10. You value your friendships more than anyone else.

Sure introverts love spending time alone. But all of that alone time only makes hanging out with your friends feel even more special. Nothing beats a good group hug after a long period of shutting yourself off from the world to watch "Orange Is The New Black" season four all in one sitting.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
