Ambiverts: We Exist

As told by Glee.

Ambiverts: We Exist

I really dislike those online quizzes that try to categorize you as an "Extravert" or an "Introvert." Most of the time, I have a difficult time answering several of the questions because, well, many of my answers tend to be "sometimes yes, sometimes no."

So, what am I then? Some quizzes claim I'm an extrovert, but others are sure I'm in introvert. Well, there's something in-between that too many people seem to forget about: ambiverts.

Yes, we exist--and here are some signs you might be one too as told by Glee.

1. If you ask me if I want to do something on Friday night, there's a 50% chance I'll be insanely excited, there's a 50% chance I may just want to stay in and sleep.

2. My close friends think I'm quite outgoing, but people I don't know as well would classify me as decently quiet.

3. I like being busy, but also having a balance of moving around and calmness. Too much stationary activity and I'm suddenly uninterested.

4. In terms of academics, sometimes I would much prefer doing a project on my own, but sometimes, it's nice to have a group to work with.

5. I don't mind being the center of attention every once in a while, but it makes me uncomfortable pretty quickly.

6. Sometimes, I need to be alone for a bit and collect my thoughts...but after a few minutes, I'm ready to jump back into talking with my friends.

7. I get the best of both worlds of being an introvert and an extrovert.

See? Being an ambivert is a pretty good thing to be.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
