6 Reasons Being The Quiet Girl Sometimes Pays Off

Sometimes keeping to yourself is a blessing in disguise.

6 Reasons Being The Quiet Girl Sometimes Pays Off

I have never, ever been the one who was outgoing, or really talked to anyone. It really used to bother me, but I've come to see it as a blessing more than anything. Here's why.

You know the people who put forth the effort into getting to know you are worth it

Giphy

It just goes to show that those who want to get to know you, really want to get to know you. Because they want to, not out of obligation.

You don't have all the drama

Giphy

No drama? No problem. When you don't talk to a lot of people, you don't have all the issues that come with having a lot of friends, and a lot of drama.

People don't use you

Giphy

I have seen so many friendships go down the drain because one of the members was just tired of being used and was done putting forth the effort.

No obligation to make plans with people 

Giphy

I don't know about you all, but my favorite activity is being in bed, in sweats, watching some Netflix. No friends = always doing just that.

Not being the center of gossip 

Giphy

Nothing beats not being talked about, true or false, and not being friends with many people means that nobody has a reason to talk about you.

You can people watch in peace and quiet 

Giphy

I love people watching. Are they going to work? Did they just get dumped? I don't know, but my imagination goes wild when I'm sitting alone and a person passes by.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
