Being Both Introverted and Extroverted, We Encounter These 9 Things

Being both an extrovert and an introvert is complicated but we're living in the best of both worlds.

When people ask us whether we would consider ourselves an introvert or an extrovert, we take painfully long to answer. Why not be both? We can be super outgoing at times, but some days we can also be shy, observing in the distance.

In society, we apparently don't exist, but we do. It might sound contradicting, ironic even, but we come in peace. It's the best of both worlds, really. Here are some things that we encounter.

1. You make plans for Friday night, but when the time actually comes, you realize you'd rather stay in and binge-watch some Netflix.

This is your 3rd week in a row you canceled on them, but it's okay.

2. You're having a socially productive day, talking to everyone and anybody. Then the next day, you just listen.

You've gone suddenly mute.

3. You want to be invited everywhere with your friends, even though you know you won't be going.

I think they're catching on.

4. You freeze up when someone asks you to do something because you're not sure if you want to or not...

Going out might be good for me, but the thought of staying in sounds better.

5. You come up with excuses way too much.

I forgot I have to go take a nap.

6. You spend a lot of time all by yourself.

Oh yeah.

7. But when you do go out, it's a good time.

To do list:

[X] socialize.

8. After you spend the day out with friends, at work, or at school, it's just too much communication with humans for one day.

You just need to rejuvenate for a moment or two.

9. At the end of the day, you are exhausted from it all.

You feel good, but you're happy to be back home in your own bed.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
