The life of someone who loves spending time with others and being alone.

Confessions Of An Introverted-Extrovert

'Introverted-extrovert' sounds like it's an impossible term, I know, but in reality, it's a paradox. And a paradox that perfectly describes me. This is an inside look at the confessions of an introverted-extrovert.

We need time to ourselves, don't get offended.

We love going out and spending time with other people, but we also need time alone. Sometimes we just need to shut the door, read or watch Netflix, and enjoy that time by ourselves.

We need time to recharge, don't take it personal.

We thrive on alone time after hours of being around people. Even though we love going out and doing our favorite things with our friends, that can be socially tiring after a few hours. Going out with friends is fun, but so is spending some time with ourselves.

We really love smaller groups.

Small groups are the best of both worlds- being around our best friends and not having too many people there. Small groups are large enough, without being overwhelming; they are just the right amount of intimate.

We don't always love being alone.

Loneliness is still a thing. Even though we enjoy being alone sometimes, that doesn't mean that we never feel alone. We still appreciate being asked to go out and do things, because we love spending time with the people we are closest to.

We love being asked to do things.

We still love when people ask us to do things like get a meal together, go see that show, or just come over for a movie night. Unless we have something else going on, chances are we will say yes and we really appreciate the gesture.

Fellow introverted-extroverts, let's get together for a few hours and then go home and shut our doors for some alone Netflix time. Peyton Sawyer summed it up pretty well:

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.

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.

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.
