I have always been introverted. I love being alone a lot more than I love being with most people. However there are exceptions to every rule...and there are the few people that I love to be with. When they aren't available though, I would rather be alone with my own thoughts. I discovered an old blog of mine where I assessed this problem and talked about how I wished I could change it, but I realize now that is something that will never change, and I would never want it to. I have made it thus far, being introverted; it's not that I cut myself off from everyone, just the people that I don't want to talk to. Which is actually, most people, unfortunately. I thought college would be a cure-all for the dullness of the people that went to high school with me, but it isn't. However, there is definitely an improvement. I love college, and the amount of alone time I get. Or, time in my dorm room with my roommate who is also an introvert which is basically alone time, because she is doing the same thing.
I could not ask for a more perfect roommate. We like the same music, have interesting conversations, she's smart and fun to talk to and our personalities match perfectly. I can't imagine having to live with anyone else in a small room and having it work as well as it does. College wouldn't be as great as it is with a horrible roommate, so I'm really lucky that I got such a good fit.
One of my favorite things about Maddy is that she has a very 'anything goes' personality and does not judge others at all. So no matter how many times I bashfully walk over to the window next to her bed and smoke, she doesn't mind at all...
One thing I spent a lot of time last night doing was looking up the effects of weed because so many people have been badgering me lately about the health risks. I already knew that it was not nearly as harmful as alcohol, and this was only solidified by my search last night. So I've decided I'm not going to quit. Haha. And I'm happy with that decision.
