19 Signs You're An Ambivert

It's a constant tug of war battle. You are energized by other people AND crave time for yourself to get away from the world. If you can't classify yourself as an introvert or extravert, you most likely can find yourself somewhere in the middle of the introversion-extraversion spectrum. This is know as ambiversion. Here's 19 signs you are an ambivert at heart:

1. You relate to both introvert and extravert traits and bounce between them frequently.

2. You're extremely indecisive.

3. You are annoyed by small talk.

4. But you love to talk about things that interest you.

5. And you're more than okay listening to other peoples' conversations without contributing.

6. You enjoy being a wallflower at parties/social gatherings...

7. ...because people watching is one of your guilty pleasures.

8. Some of the best times you have are spent alone.

9. But you also have great memories from when you were out all night with random people.

10. You like to meet new people.

11. But you feel uncomfortable without someone you know present.

12. You balance the group you are with. Like if you're out with someone louder, you're quieter and vice versa.

13. You love working with people.

14. But sometimes they drive you nuts or are just too much.

15. You are terrified of confrontation and awkward situations.

16. There are some days where you trip over ever single word you say.

17. And there are other days when you're smooth as silk in conversation.

18. You like to answer "It depends" or "Maybe" or "We'll see."

19. You see the world as an extremely gray, messy place.

The balance between the two may be difficult at times, but ambiverts ultimately get the best of both worlds!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
