10 Signs You Are An Introvert In College

If you can relate to these 10 signs then odds are you are an introvert. Being an introvert is not bad it can just be difficult in college when everyone else is out partying and hanging out with big groups of friends. Don't worry many people are like this and maybe you can find someone else who can relate to you and these signs.

1. Orientation week was hell week.

As if starting at a completely new school where you don’t know anyone wasn’t stressful enough, now you have to go through a couple days of “getting to know me”. The only bonding you did during bonding exercises was with how much you didn’t want to be there.

2. You aren’t invited to all the parties, and that’s OK with you.

College is all about the parties, right? Well, not for you. You would definitely prefer to stay in your room and catch up on homework, or look at funny videos on Youtube. Some parties can be fun sure, but when you get tired after the first hour of being there, sometimes it’s just better to stay in for the night.

3. You have joined a club that you love and all of our friends are there.

Whether it’s photography club, dance club, or newspaper club, you absolutely love what you do and the friends that you have made there. Those friends are the ones you are really close with.

4. The library is your second dorm room.

If you aren’t hanging out in your dorm room you can most likely be found in the library, either studying or just fooling around on your computer.

5. You have taken walks around campus alone, just because you can.

It doesn’t matter what kind of campus your college has; sometimes just going for a nice walk alone is relaxing. You have also found all of the quiet spots on campus, other than the library of course, for studying purposes.

6. You stay up to date on all of your TV shows on Netflix.

What college kid doesn’t get hooked on Netflix? But you have plenty of time to watch all of your favorite shows, and maybe try a few new ones.

7. You have plenty of time to do all of your homework.

Even though, sometimes, you don’t. Hey, it’s the thought that counts, right?

8. You have a ton of food in your room.

Just in case you don’t feel up to going to the cafeteria to get food with a ton of people, you can just stay in your room and eat a well balanced meal of canned soup or Chef Boyardee.

9. Even though you always sit in the back, you are still really good at paying attention.

The back is where you are most comfortable, but you’re still really good at listening and taking down notes. You don’t just sit in the back to socialize.

10. You have made a few really close friends and they are the best friends you’ve ever had.

You and the people you have made friends with are super close and do everything together. You don’t need all the friends in the world, you only need them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
