10 Signs You Are an Introvert Who Is Also An Extrovert
Forbes

People can be classified one of two ways, either introverted or extroverted. Except, I would fall somewhere in the middle. I would definitely consider myself shy, quiet, and introverted. Then again, I would also consider myself warm, social, and extroverted. Anybody would look at me and identify me as reticent, but I have every intention of wanting to be sociable. These are a few signs that you are the same way that I am.


1. You sign up for new clubs or events to meet new people, but immediately regret your decision.

2. You pretend to be on your phone to prevent people from talking to you.


3. You force yourself to go to events so you don't regret not going later, but you end up sitting by yourself.


4. It's easy to talk to strangers because you know you won't see them again!


5. You have to mentally prepare yourself for everything that you will say and do.

6. You go to that social gathering, but end up making friends with the dog.

7. You constantly fear that you will miss out if you don't make yourself get involved.

8. You like being around people, but you just don't talk.


9. You do enjoy being alone, but you DO get lonely.


10. We hate small talk, it's painful. We would rather have deep, meaningful conversations.


Wanting to stay in for the day is okay, and wanting to go out and have a good time is also okay. Be who you are, and people will love you.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
