Ambiverts: We Exist

As told by Glee.

Ambiverts: We Exist

I really dislike those online quizzes that try to categorize you as an "Extravert" or an "Introvert." Most of the time, I have a difficult time answering several of the questions because, well, many of my answers tend to be "sometimes yes, sometimes no."

So, what am I then? Some quizzes claim I'm an extrovert, but others are sure I'm in introvert. Well, there's something in-between that too many people seem to forget about: ambiverts.

Yes, we exist--and here are some signs you might be one too as told by Glee.

1. If you ask me if I want to do something on Friday night, there's a 50% chance I'll be insanely excited, there's a 50% chance I may just want to stay in and sleep.

2. My close friends think I'm quite outgoing, but people I don't know as well would classify me as decently quiet.

3. I like being busy, but also having a balance of moving around and calmness. Too much stationary activity and I'm suddenly uninterested.

4. In terms of academics, sometimes I would much prefer doing a project on my own, but sometimes, it's nice to have a group to work with.

5. I don't mind being the center of attention every once in a while, but it makes me uncomfortable pretty quickly.

6. Sometimes, I need to be alone for a bit and collect my thoughts...but after a few minutes, I'm ready to jump back into talking with my friends.

7. I get the best of both worlds of being an introvert and an extrovert.

See? Being an ambivert is a pretty good thing to be.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
