Are You A More Peoples Person Or A Kept To Yourself Kind Of Guy?

Some people hide themselves away while others thrust themselves into the spotlight.

I can say for sure at every event where there are other people present, some are easier to talk to than others. On some days I can be as talkative as the next person but sometimes I can be very quiet if I just want to stay to myself. Now this is a topic which as a student, can help portray your friend group and who we like to be around.

If we like to voice our opinion and be loud about what we feel is right, people with similar views and personalities will attempt to be around us and strike up a conversation. However, if we seem shy or laid back, even introverted, we can come off as unappealing to converse with and have trouble making friends. In my case, I like being around people who are fun to talk to and aren't afraid to hide information about themselves. This openness gives me a sense of trust which I can reaffirm with them. These extroverts can sometimes be perceived as too open or trusting but I just believe they are people who are looking for a vent to fill. In the case of introverts, I believe myself to be slightly introverted. Over social media like Snapchat or Instagram, I can easily have conversations but in real life, my true awkwardness begins to show. I struggle to continue conversations sometimes and have trouble communicating the focus of the conversation. If I was put into a room with another person, I can guarantee I would not be able to talk to the other person unless they started the conversation. Imagine yourself in that situation. You are put into a room with an absolute stranger and you have to be able to hold a conversation. If you cannot hold the conversation, you know that your people and communicative skills might be lower than others. However if you can control the conversation and allow the other person to become comfortable, this shows your high skills in allowing people to become open with you. Its all a matter of personal skill in how to react in situations that might be difficult.

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.
