The College Personality

There is a specific type of person that most to all people like. At this point in my life, I am calling this person The College Personality. Essentially, this title entails the following two things: Friendly & Active.

Friendly. Not the average kind of "Hey, what's up" friendly. No, I'm talking the "Hey! What's your name? Want to go get something to eat? No? Maybe next time? Here is my number for whenever you're bored we can hang out. etc etc." That person that really can talk to anybody, anywhere, at any time. They aren't phased by the person seeming not interested, which is probably rare, and because of this people somewhat just instantly like them. Personally I want to punch people like this in the face, but I am trying to be open minded.

and

Active. That person that is not only is at the volleyball court, but wearing a sweatband and brought their own volleyball. Or maybe that person that will randomly host things in their lobby just because. Like, some kid invited me to a Kool-Aid drinking party? Which I was definitely going to until I heard people talking about how it was going to be spiked. And not with alcohol. So, that ruined any chance of fun.

Now, my own personal assessment about my "College Personality."

I'm not an outgoing, friendly type. I'm not a meanie-head either, but I really won't say more than hi in the elevator, if even that. It really works for me and against me all the same. I make very few friends, but when I do, at least I know we are actually decent little buds. I also have an... odd sense of humor. So I've been told, and down here all the bumpkins don't take to it well. It probably doesn't help that when people do say hi to me I probably seem really taken aback... like. "Oh hi?" I'm sure once or twice I've turned to look over my shoulder at the person I'm sure they're speaking to.
I'm sure for a lot of you this is odd reading because you either know me from jobs I'm had, or something. But I can assure you, when there is money involved... I am the nicest person ever. I was a waitress, of course I seemed like a sweetheart! Which I am, it just takes about 18 years for me to warm up to you. Want to test your luck?

As for the active... I am actually pretty good about this. I wander around campus. Go outside and play volleyball, watch tv in the lobby etc. The only thing is that if I'm watching TV and it's a show I really enjoy, I somewhat zone out and anyone else in the room I ignore. So, no chance for friends there. Volleyball wise, it starts out friendly competition, but then I get kind of crazy and need to win, breaking any friendships that may have been forming.

God, I'm hopeless.

P.S. I apologize for how scatterbrained this post was. I was listening Mumford and Male Offspring and was kind of on a high.
