As an introvert myself, I know some indicators that may help clue you in on your personality!

These signs may not apply to everyone, but they may serve as a basis to build on if you’re on the fence about which way you tend to lean in regards to extroversion vs. introversion.

1. You appreciate your "Me Time"

Relaxing by yourself is a must. You need some time to de-stress and recharge without having to deal with other people.

2. You're a home-stayer at heart

Parties sound fun, but a lazy day inside sounds even better!

3. You like to Netflix and chill — literally

Every once in a while, sitting on the sofa and clicking your way through a season’s worth of episodes sounds like the best way to spend an evening.

4. You have mixed feelings about extroverts

Being friends with an extrovert can be great because they’ll take most of the social interaction responsibilities off your shoulders, but sometimes they can be a bit too much and leave you feeling exhausted.

5. You aren't a big fan of crowds


Spending too long in a crowded area can be overstimulating and draining! Sometimes you need to get yourself to a quiet space and rest up for a bit before going back in.

6. You enjoy doing things alone

You find yourself content when doing solitary activities such as reading or writing.

7. You're creative

Because you don’t mind spending time alone, you’re more inclined towards creative outlets such as drawing or making music.

8. You get quiet or tired after too much activity

This is perfectly fine! As an introvert, you’re just trying to conserve energy after being overloaded with sensory info.

9. You're introspective and self-aware

You like taking the time to think things through and may be prone to running an inner monologue inside your head. Internal thoughts, feelings and moods are carefully accounted for and you are great at deciphering your current emotional state.

10. You have a small but tight-knit group of friends

You'd much rather have a small, close group of friends near and dear to your heart than be friendly with a huge group of people without truly knowing them beyond superficial conversations. Long-lasting relationships are much preferred and they tend to be significant.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
