My name is Amber and I always get asked why I like to be alone, and honestly, I cannot tell you why. Even when I was younger I have always liked being alone. Do not get me wrong, I have friends, and I love seeing them and being with them, but when I am by myself I focus more. Sometimes it is better for me. This is for my well-being and my mental health.

I have always been a hermit basically. I am not the person who needs to go out and be with people all the time. I am not the person who needs to got to parties every weekend. I am not the person who needs to be talking to someone on the phone all the time, but I am on my phone a lot. Being by myself does not just mean that I am by myself in a room, it means a life of freedom.

Freedom gives me peace and mind. Having freedom allows me to think about myself for once without having to worry about the other person. This gives me the confidence I need to conquer the goals I have for my future. I know this sounds odd, and I know this sounds crazy but I am happy.

I am happy that I have people in my life that I can talk to. I am happy that I have the friends that I have in my life. They know me, they know me better than I know myself. Yeah, I love being with them, and yeah I love talking to them, but sometimes I just need to be by myself and have a "me day" or sometimes even a "me week". They understand that.

Having friends who understand is something that I value in my life. I love clingy people, heck, I am even clingy. But when I need to be alone, I need to be alone; otherwise, I cannot be the person I am, I need to have this time to myself for my sanity and for my well-being as a person. After a long week of classes, yes I do like to go out with friends, but I really need to relax alone and understand what has happened in the past week and learn what I need to work on, while letting my brain take a break from all the beating it has taken.

My name is Amber, and I am an introvert. I like being by myself, and I do still have friends.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
