9 Things Independent People Can Relate To

When going through life, you always come across tons of different types of people. You have your clingers, independents, and people who just go along with whoever comes alongside them. If you just so happen to be the independent type, chances are you can relate to the nine things below:

1. You take action first then go for feedback. Most of the time we independent people tend to just take a leap of faith and do what our mind is set to and then go to the person we confide in and get feedback.

2. Sometimes advice can be hard to take. In life, things just come up where you have to confide in someone else, but independent hearts can have such a hard time taking these words to heartand mind. When an independent mind is set, it is difficult to change their way.

3. High self-motivation. They are willing to step out on their own and get stuff done. They don’t need anyone’s help and can get the job done quickly.

4. When your mind is set on something, it is going to happen. Independent people are capable of figuring out how to get what they need done and nothing gets in their way.

5. Relationships are hard to come by. As you can guess, its hard for an independent person to find someone to be understanding of their ways. But on the other hand, the person has to be willing to give some and let their other half do stuff for them.

6. Going to the grocery store, shopping, eating, car wash, etc. is no big deal at all. People in today’s society hate the idea of doing things alone, especially girls. But, why? Being the only one going to do something is so much easier, and it takes half the time to get the task done when you’re alone.

7. You can always relate to the quote, “If you want things done right, you just need to do it yourself.Could that be anymore true? That quote is what an independent person lives by. It is so much easier to get a project done when you can just do it yourself.

8. You’re not afraid to speak your mind. You always catch yourself just speaking your mind; why hold back?

9. Sometimes you just need to be alone. And that is totally okay. You're so used to doing stuff on your own that being around a huge group can be overwhelming. This can be hard for your friends to understand. Just work with them, and they will come around and find understanding.

No matter what type of person you are, everything about you makes you who you are. Being alone may sound like a bad thing to some people, but being an independent person out on your own can also be exciting and rewarding.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
