How To Know If You're The Introvert In The Relationship

People say that opposites attract, and there's nothing more true than introvert/extrovert relationships.Two people on the complete opposite sides of the social spectrum come together in romance. It's a beautiful thing really and can look really different in both partner's eyes. However, sometimes certain people don't know if they are in one, or if even they're the introvert. Let me show you how you can possibly the introvert of your relationship.

1. They Probably Started The Relationship

Whether you were just too nervous or wasn't sure what to do, they most likely popped the question first and you more than happily agreed.

2. Your Ideal Date Is Staying Home


Your partner probably has such extravagant ideas for a date, when in actuality you just want to cuddle up on the couch watching a movie.

3. Parties Are Not Your Thing


Extroverts get invited to a lot of parties and of course they always want to bring their +1. Unfortunately that's you.

4. They Always Want Your Attention

Sometimes you just need your time, away from contact of the outside world. Your partner may not understand that though.

.5. They're Always Trying To Get You To Say What's On Your Mind


Small talk, especially that of your inner most thoughts is always super difficult.

6. Introductions Are Super Awkward


While you enjoy your close knit group of friends, introverts tend to have a lot more friends. That means many, many introductions. Again, small talk isn't your thing.

7. Their Family May Think You're Rude


You're not rude, you just don't like speaking much. And sometimes that can be hard to comprehend to certain people that isn't your significant other.

8. They "Encourage" You To Try Things

Whether it be going to this new hit club, or bringing you to this amazing band you really haven't heard of before, you always attend. Why? Because sometimes you don't have a choice.

9. They Can Always Rescue You From Social Situations


Once again, you hate small chat. So when you're stuck in public, talking to some person you don't know, it freaks you out. Or even sometimes stuck in a large crowd of people and you don't know what to do or where to go. But don't fret, your partner senses your distress and swoops in to the rescue.

10. They're Always Willing To Compromise

Most importantly, they know you better than anyone else. They understand your awkwardness in public, your alone time, their one sided conversations, and the small dates you want. This means they're always willing to help you, even if they're not used to it. All the ask is for you to do the same, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe.
