Things All College Student Introverts Can Relate To

Being an introvert in college can be an uneasy feeling. Feeling like we need to be out all of the time, meeting people, always doing something crazy, having the time of our lives, etc. But sometimes those fun things we want to do are read or watch Netflix. Why do we feel so guilty about indulging in that? Especially when considering that when we do try to go out for a while, it ends up sending us into a state of mental exhaustion? Being an introvert can often feel lonely. That's just because all of the other ones are in their rooms too. Here are a few things that every introvert on a college campus to relate to.

1. Mixed feelings about Halloweekend.

What's wrong with staying in and watching movies for one of the two nights?

2. Eating alone without the judgement.

Some much needed "recharge" time during the day.

3. Classes ending at 12 and being able to spend all day in your dorm room.

4. Seeing people leaving at 11 and smiling because you're not.

5. How easy it is to use studying as an excuse.

Don't want to do something? Easy way out.

6. Slow times at the dining hall.

No lines and only a few other people!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.
