10 Signs You Were An Introvert In High School

You weren't the only one who dreaded school dances and pep rallies.

1. It was a feeling of pure, genuine relief when the plans you had for that night fell through.

When your friends texted you saying, "I'm sorry I can't hangout anymore :(" and you responded with, "Oh really? Ugh that sucks :(" but actually feeling as if a 20 pound weight of social interaction had been lifted off of your shoulders.


2. Picking partners in class was always an anxiety attack in itself.

It was like Christmas when the teacher gave you the option of working alone.

3. Pep rallies were no where near "peppy" for you.

It was quite terrifying to be stuck in a gym for an hour with people who were cheering and screaming about events that you didn't even know were happening.

4. When you finally agreed to go to a party, you quickly realized it may have been one of the biggest mistakes of your life.

Once you walked into the house it only took a number of seconds for you to be done with the whole thing and want to go to sleep at your house, but your ride refused to leave until at least 1 a.m.


5. Walking into the lunch room was your worst nightmare.

"Lunch time" was ironically one of the most dreaded parts of your day. It was horrifying to see everyone already filling the tables with their established group of friends.

6. Listening to people talking about their weekend plans made you thankful for your lack of weekend plans.

While the girls next to you were talking about the party they were planning for the weekend, you had never been more thankful for your Netflix subscription.

7. Your participation points in gym class were nonexistent.

It was almost comical for you to watch people become aggressive over flag football.

8. Your backpack was the only thing that you allowed to sit next to you on the bus.

Throughout the course of your "bus life", people grew to know sitting by you only leads to awkward small talk, and watching you uncomfortably scoot towards the window.

9. The awkward gap on your college applications when you're asked about your "extracurricular activities".

Does "napping" count?


10. Preparing for your inevitable death before giving a speech in front of your class.

They're basically the same thing, right?

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.
