4 Things An Introvert Wants You To Know
Life Hack

1. I Am More Than "Quiet."

I am intensely focused on what I am doing. Because I am so intently focused, I am very passionate about the work I perform and the hobbies I participate in. I am observing things going on around me and within me. I notice how people are acting, I notice when things change around me; maybe more so than others do. I am very aware of my feelings circulating within me, and I deeply ponder them to find their meaning.

2. I Am One of the BEST Friend You Will Ever Have.

I do not let people into my life easily, and when it comes to choosing friends I am very particular. I do not become friends with you simply because of your likes or dislikes, the way you dress, or any surface level quality. I have carefully chosen you because I see deeper qualities within you that draw me to want a friendship with you. If I choose you as a friend, I will be unconditionally supportive in all you do and be fiercely loyal in our friendship.

3. I Know How To Listen.

If you need someone to vent to that won't interrupt what you're saying, I'm your person. I will hear you out. I will let you go from start to finish, no matter how long it may take. If you don't want me to respond, I don't have to respond. But if I do give you advice, know that my response has been thoughtfully considered, and I have thought about the topic from every angle and not just my point of view. So maybe it would smart to listen what an introvert has to say.

4. I Am Okay With Me.

As stated before, I am always observing, processing, and deeply understanding what is going on around me and within me. Because of this, odds are I will know myself and I will understand myself better than anyone else. Just because I am not as outgoing as some people doesn't mean I need someone to change how I am. Don't try to force me out of my "comfort zone." I like me. I understand who I am as a person on a different level than most, and I like who I am. So as an introvert, I need you to accept me, not change me.

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.

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.
