All through high school, I was labeled the "shy, smart" kid. I deserved this label in many respects and learned to embraced it because it essentially described who I was at that time. On the day to day, I was the girl who didn't really talk unless I was answering a question, and I was always on the high honor roll. Normally, people rarely talked to me unless to ask me questions about homework or class, which I most likely had the answers to. I was that "shy, smart" girl people labeled me as.
Now that I am out of high school, I am trying to shed that label. I find it less appealing to be what people expect of me. It is more exciting, in my opinion, to keep one's mind open, instead of placing everyone in a neat orderly box.
Q: Are there less labels in college?
