Being an introverted college student is hard. If it isn't school, or work, or extracurriculars that are stressing you out, then you best believe always being surrounded by extroverts will do the trick. You find yourself constantly drained of mental and emotional energy and as a result your inner-cynic comes out. What is social etiquette again?

1. Your everyday outfit.

You tend to forget that real pants are a thing that people expect you to wear in public.

2. When you emerge from your room after a long paper-writing session.

And you swear off the world because it has done you wrong.

3. When you try to stay in the loop on your friends' gossip.

4. And you forget how to not be blunt.

5. And then you fail at using popular slang to encourage them.

And you're totally serious, but they just laugh at your attempt.

6. When your friends ask you to hang out.

And you consider it, but know that it isn't happening.

7. Then they suck you into the plans anyways.

The horror of social obligations.

8. When you actually get ready to go out for the first time in forever.

So this is what it feels like to be pretty.

9. When you start to sober up at a party.

And you realize what you actually got yourself into.

10. Going home to talk to your TV.

Netflix: your return to safety and comfort.

11. And then your favorite character dies.

Why is the world so cruel.

Until next time, introverts...
