5 Signs That You Are Not A "People Person"

There are always some people that get along with other very well; we call them "people-persons." However, where there are "people-persons," there are also non "people-persons." These people just can't get along with everyone they encounter. They hate the thought of encountering and making conversations with people that they aren't close to. I am one of these people and I think, at this point in my life, that I will always be one. I've come up with a few things that a non "people-person" does to avoid human interactions.

1. You'd rather stay at home.

A non "people-person" would rather stay at home than go out and risk the chance of human interaction. The safe haven for a non "people-person" is his / her home. There, you never have to encounter a single stranger and / or interact with them.

2. You take the long route just to avoid people.

This is something that everyone does once in a while. However, a non "people-person" does this all the time. They would rather walk an extra five minutes than go through a crowd of people that they know or have to interact with (even if it's just to say "excuse me").

3. You plan escape routes to get out of confrontations.

Similar to the last sign, everything a non "people-person" does is planned in advance. Hundreds of escape routes are running through one's minds as to how you can get of these confrontations.

4. Your "bitch" face is always present.

To avoid interacting with people, the "bitch" face is the way to go; using this lowers that chance of people trying to talk to you. This method means that you can avoid the oncoming awkwardness that is bound to happen while interacting with people.

5. You always feel awkward talking to strangers.

It's safe to say that a non "people-person" avoids confrontation, not because he / she doesn't particularly like people, but because he / she wants to avoid the awkwardness. They don't and won't ever feel comfortable talking to strangers where they can't be themselves just yet.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
