Struggles Of Being Extroverted

Being an extrovert is not all its cracked up to be.

As I've gotten older, I've realized being an extroverted person can be tough. We get our energy from being around other people, but sometimes we just don't want to go out. We believe that everyone needs space every once and a while, but at the same time, we struggle to be alone for long periods of time. We just can't do it.

Genuinely enjoying to get know other people and their story is always interesting to us extroverts. However, we feel we are expected to say yes to every invitation we are invited too because people know how outgoing we are capable of being. It's hard to back down to an invite, even though we love to be out and around people. We don't enjoy being alone with our thoughts and we especially don't like to be bored.

Always feeling "on call" and expected to be full of energy when we are out and about puts an excessive amount of pressure on us: we can't be too tired to not go to a party or to hang out with friends. We always feel the need to be on the go. We try to do everything that is fun and entertaining to us. Being extroverted can also be rough when we have too much energy at the wrong time. For an example, not being able to focus on our studies sucks.

Feeling easily excited about upcoming events is one of our strong suits, but we also have moments where we the feel the need to be calm. Extroverts feel annoying some of the time, but we can't help it. There are many strengths of being extroverted, but we have struggles just like introverts.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
