Do you enjoy people's company but tend to get real antisocial real fast? This applies to you.

1. You need your own transportation wherever you go.

Taking rides with other people? Not a chance. You need your own way to leave if (or should I say when) you decide you've endured enough social interaction.

2. Your environment strongly affects your mood and energy levels. 

Being in highly chaotic scenes drains you and leaves you daydreaming about snoring on your couch. Being in relaxed and small settings actually energizes you because you are most comfortable there.

3. It takes you time to warm up to people, even if you seem outgoing. 

When first thrown into a new situation or introduced to a new person, you tend to be shy and reserved. This isn't intended to be taken as rude or standoffish, but sometimes, it definitely seems that way. As time passes, your hard exterior shell melts and you're back to being your chatty, sociable self.

4. People tend to annoy and excite you all at once.

If you've ever been in a conversation with someone, and you find yourself slightly intrigued while also being slightly agitated, you most likely are an extroverted introvert. You love to hear new stories and gain new knowledge, but you hate the idea of someone talking to you simply to please you (or satisfy their need to please others). You like genuine and real conversations.

5. You are always mistaken for an extrovert.

You can work the party and entertain people with ease. You have no trouble starting conversations, introducing yourself to new people, or putting yourself in new situations. The problem is, you'd rather not. One night may involve throwing a huge surprise party for your best friend, and the next is a fun-filled night of reading books and taking baths.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent 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.
