Being An Introverted Extrovert

To speak or not to speak, that is the question.

Being An Introverted Extrovert
Dumbo's Diary

There's a whole slew of problems that go along with being an introverted extrovert. For me, I can talk all day with someone that I know and trust. But if you asked me to have a conversation with a stranger? I would have absolutely no idea what to say. The biggest issue I have is that if it's a stranger, I could end up saying something stupid or weird and they would forever think I was a super odd person.

Let's say I hang out with a friend I haven't seen in a few months. Conversation will still go smoothly. We can laugh, talk about whatever, and I'll have no fears about them judging anything that I've said or will say. But let's say there's an opposite scenario where I'm meeting a stranger for the first time, my mind wrecks havoc on my stomach, heart, and nerves. I'm defenseless. But, I get over it. Once it's over I think,"Oh, that wasn't so bad after all." Then for some reason, it happens ever singe time.

I would say that I talk way, way too much. Way more than anyone would ever want me to. But for some peculiar reason, when I'm asked to talk in class, I can't bring myself to say one single word to my peers.

When I hear the words,"Please pick a partner or two to do group work."

We introverted extroverts must stick together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
