You've probably been asked on more than one occasion if you ever talk.

Okay, let's be honest, we all know someone who is super shy and quiet. We all know someone who will avoid unnecessary attention and do everything they can to remain in the background of every situation. Sometimes it's like it actually takes more work being shy and quiet.

Here are 10 things that every shy person has done at point or another.

1. You have to repeatedly think through your introduction on the first day of class.

2. You avoid eye contact with your professor at all times in order to avoid being called on.

3. When you're running late so you do your best to get to class on time so everyone doesn't watch you walk in.

4. When you know the answer to a question but you don't answer because you don't want the unnecessary attention from your classmates.

5. If you finish a test early, you wait till someone else turns it in so you won't be the first person to get up.


6. When, in a rare instance, you are feeling bold and introduce yourself to someone you find attractive and it becomes the most awkward experience ever.

7. Because you never talk in class, you get really excited when your professor finally learns your name two weeks after they knew everyone else's.


8. When someone you don't know talks to you, you instantly forget all English words and just stare.

9. When you are forced to do group presentations, or actually anything that involves pubic speaking, and it goes quite terribly.

10. And because you have tried so hard to stay out of the limelight, you have no idea how to react when someone randomly compliments you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
