10 Signs You're Spending Too Much Time Alone

There is nothing wrong with wanting to have a little alone time throughout the day, but there are a few times when you've just had too much alone time. Check out these 10 times I've realized I've spent too much time alone that I know you can relate too.


1. You forget how to talk to people.

You know you've spent too much time by yourself when you literally can't talk to another human.

2. You can have a convo with yourself and consider that normal.

I get it, sometimes we talk to ourselves, but when you can do it everyday and not think twice about it...Thats a problem.

3. You go a whole day without notifications blowing up your phone.

You really know you spend too much time alone when all of your friends stop reaching out to you.

4. People don't even ask you to hangout anymore because they know the answer is going to be no.

5. You're now afraid of being social because you're used to being alone.

Sometimes you need to get out and be social, human beings need to interact with each other to stay sane.

6. You're letting personal hygiene go.

If you're going a few days without brushing your teeth or showering, it's time for a reality check.

7. Food has become your best friend.

Put the cookie dough down.

8. The puppy fever is real because you know that getting a dog means you get to stay home more often.

Puppies mean being home 3/4 of the day, trust me, they're a lot of work.

10. You've run out of Netflix shows because you've watched them all.

Netflix has finally stopped asking you if you're still watching because you've watched every show it has to offer including those weird documentaries.


So sometimes, there are some warning signs that you've been spending too much time along. If any of these signs apply to you, I encourage you to put yourself out there and socialize!

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.
