For a while, I thought I was an introvert. As I got older, I realized that I hate being alone. Being alone is a challenge for extroverts. We feel most energized around other people and we tend to dominate conversation in group settings. This is beneficial in social situations. The discovery of being an extrovert led me to pick a career where I can meet different people and help them out to the best of my abilities. There are so many qualities extroverted people have that can benefit themselves and those around them.

Most extroverts are able to smoothly carry on a conversation with others. However, extroverts simply like to observe people and listen to them talk as much as hearing themselves talk. Extroverts are those who enjoy meeting new people and making connections. This is a favorable trait for all social engagements and something that should not be taken for granted. Extroverts almost always have something to say, and it's difficult to keep quiet. Extroverted people are open books, so you'll never have a hard time knowing their intentions or who they truly are.

Extroverts get bored easily, so they always require a task to complete. It can even be hard to stay focused on just one task, so they try to multitask. For extroverted people, it can be hard to relax. This is why extroverts thrive around other people and have a difficult time when they are alone.

I hope this helped you to better understand their behavior and how to communicate with them. Extroverts and their good-natured amiability should not go unappreciated. Each person's unique character traits allow them to perform what they should. If you cannot identify whether the person is an introvert or extrovert, maybe get to know them better. It's never too late to make deeper connections.

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.
