10 Things I Don't Understand About Extroverts

1. How they're never in their dorms.

Seriously, where does my roommate go after class until 11 every night?


2. How they actually manage to be productive in public.

I can barely manage to focus long enough to send a text when I'm in public, let alone actually accomplishing things.


3. How they eat every meal in the cafeteria.

Do they never take their food back to their room?


4. How they can manage to go to every single social event on campus.

Like, literally every single one. And often there's multiple events in one day.


5. They are literally always with people.

I can't go a whole day without time to myself, but somehow people manage to do it.


6. They know everything about everyone.

A person can just walk past us and they'll say, "You know what they told me last week?"


7. Everyone knows everything about them, and they're fine with it.


Like, seriously, how can you just be alright with the fact that everything in your life is common knowledge?


8. They have inside jokes with everyone they know.

I didn't realize everything was so funny.


9. They don't only have jokes with everyone, they also know everyone on a personal level.

How do you find the time to get to know everyone in your life personally? There are only 7 days in a week.


10. They always say what they're thinking.

No matter what. They always manage to say what's on their mind even when I can barely find enough of an opening to even respond to them.

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.
