What are a few college majors/careers suitable to shy people?

Should I stop revealing where I am going to attend college to people at school?

  • I am going to be attending a small, private school. I go to a small high school of 300 students and the college isn't that much bigger. So, pretty much everyone knows everyone - or at least heard of everyone. Anyways, one of the fun parts of being a senior in high school, is all the excitement towards college. Therefore, we have been talking where we are going to college. I want to leave everything high school behind. Now, here comes the problem. I talk about it quite a bit and I am not careful about who's listening (because sometimes we talk about college in a group). Now, 3 people, whom I despise, got the idea about going to my college because of me blabbing about how good it is. It is a free country, so of course they can apply, but... I am afraid of them being clingy again, but in college. I don't want them in my life and I *know* they will attach themselves to me at orientation or the first week of school. So, should I just shut up about talking about college and resist the exciting college conversations? Should I lie about where I am going? I know I am being a big time snob, but... I am only friends with those people because they had no friends. A few months later, I realized why they didn't have friends. I thought it was fine because we're leaving for college, so I didn't think I would have to deal with them for any longer than 4 years. BUT... I didn't know they would copy me! They would NEVER have known about this small, private school, unless I mentioned it, which I did.

Well, whether or not you are worried about people following you, bragging about colleges is typically pretty annoying. I'd stop blabbing on about it and talk only with the people that actually ask you. And you might as well get used to being around different kinds of people and learn to handle social situations because clingy people, rude people, and obnoxious people do not go away :(

College is usually big enough to lose people. Just hang out at the library for a few weeks. To answer your question, it is time to start holding back in conversations build some mystery into your life. It makes you cooler. Always be conscious of how your interacting in social settings.

you're a senior and you and your friends still act like children, it doesn't matter where you are going as long as you're going. there shouldnt be competition between friends
