There are definately introverted people, but perhaps you're taking this social thing a bit too far. Maybe you just didn't click in high school and by the time you got to college, had no social experience at all? So you're making excuses by saying things like "I need hours of solitude to be sane," to justify your excuses for not wanting to get more social. You just went from being 100% introverted in the beginning of your speech, but by the end you were saying things like "I know I just need to get out and meet people," in which you're only procrastinating.

If you move in with someone else it FORCES you to get more social. My bro was a loser and didn't even go to his Senior Prom, but he's a junior in college right now, moved into a house and parties every weekend. As introverted as they came when he was in high school.

It's definately not too late to start, especially at your age. For Christs Sake, you want to be a TRANSLATOR, one of the first jobs I would think of that requires social and communicational skills. Also, you said yourself it was going to be hard to break into be a translator. You couldn't land a job or even find your own clients in such a competitive business without having confidence.

And as Kiwi said, you owe it to yourself to finish this last year. You worked hard all through grade school, high school and now college, and I'm assuming you had little or no fun through your entire education being as introverted as you are. You're going to throw all of that hard work away just because you want to start translating Spanish for immigration border patrol, making 20 grand a year? Sounds stupid to me.

And no degree is useless, either. Every single college and University in America wouldn't offer large linguistics programs if the degree proved no good.
Aristotle Reviewed by Aristotle on . I'm going to drop out of college. Sorry for the long post, but there's a lot on my mind... I've been here at college for three years, and if I wanted to continue I would only have to study one more year for my diploma. I've gotten excellent grades here (never below a B). I've been on the dean's list every semester and last semester I even got straight A's. So why am I dropping out? First, you've got to understand a little about my situation. Three years ago I decided to go to college, but it wasn't really where I wanted Rating: 5
