1. People referring to your bedroom as a "cave"

Every time you look to dip to your room someone says, "There she goes off to her cave."

2. Love being alone

As much as you love hanging out with your friends you love me time more.

3. Social anxiety

When your around your friends you are comfortable and can hold a conversation easily. If you have to interact with anyone you don't know in a social setting without a little liquid courage you get hit with a wave of social anxiety and awkwardness. Small talk is your enemy.

4. Being non-existent

Your parents or siblings will have friends over and if you happen to come out of your room to meet them they say, "Oh this is the one I never met," or sometimes it'll be, "I didn't know you had another daughter or sister."

5. Partnering up in class

This is the absolute worst. You hate working on projects with other classmates that you don't know. If you get the chance to work alone you'll take it.

6. Rainy days

These are hands down your favorite days. Laying in bed at home on a grey day binge watching your favorite television show. You would do this on any sunny day too but at least the rain is an excuse so others don't think you're lazy. They may not understand that we just love down time.

7. The daydreamer

Since you're quiet and don't like to talk much you spend a lot of time daydreaming. You come up with different scenarios and stories in your head. Your imagination grows more each day.

8. Feeling alone in the biggest of crowds

No matter how many people you are surrounded by you always feel like a misunderstood outsider.

9. I'm not shy

Being an introvert doesn't necessarily mean you're shy. Just because you prefer not to say much doesn't mean you don't have a lot to say.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.
