Stop being cool!

It's the first week of summer school and this are some types of students I have seen.

1. The on the mission type, they rush in and rush out, are always runing between class, library, work and home. They are too busy to get a hold of.
(Your friends want to catch up with you and a cup of coffee only takes less than 20 mins. Sometime, you might be spending that 20 mins on Facebook instead of talking to a real person.) 

2. The cool type, they don't talk to anyone in the class and they don't interact with you even when you ask them questions. They are often looking at their cellphone and seem no interested in anything. Who knows? Maybe they are just too shy to interact.
(If you are too cool to talk, you have issues to solve. If you are just really shy, you know what? you are not alone and you can talk to the person besides you. Cellphone is a good place to hide yourself but I don't recommend it.) 

3. The catching up type, they are always chilling and walking around campus. They like to give out big hugs to their friends. They are probably taking school but are no geniuses, and they always seem chill and have nothing to do.
(You must have a very good time management skill. If you can, please keep doing what you are doing. People need hugs. However, if you are not doing so good at school, the library should be a good place for you.) 

4. The awkward silent type, they are all over the class room. They want interactions, but they are too shy to start a conversation. Even though they can start a conversation, but they have nothing to follow up. And eventually the conversation awkwardly ends.
(I don't know how to help, because I have the same issue. I will recommend you keep trying. The more you practice you get, the less awkward it will be.) 

5. The attention seeking type, they are as loud as a F-bomb. They intend to create a splash no matter where they are. They usually find it hard to pay attention during a single conversation and easily get distracted by others.
(You are pretty much screwed. People like you can't really change much, but way to go man.) 

There are more.....
Everybody can become one of these types during certain occasions, and all you need is just a little push. Understand all the personalities, Get rid off your coolness and Start to mingle. 



So, Welcome to York and Good luck.
