Coming into college and knowing you have to make a bunch of new friends was very overwhelming to me. Although I was excited to meet new people I was also scared of leaving all of my old friends and having to make new ones. I guess I have always been the shy type when it comes to making new friends. It's not like I didn't want to make new friends it was just the thought of it. What if they don't like me? Will they think I'm weird? What if everyone else already knows each other? I would always just over think the whole situation.
So one of my goals coming into college was to be more outgoing and to put myself out there when meeting new people. I started off a little shy in my first class on the first day of classes. But when I got to my second and third class I met a lot of new people and I tried to get to know some girls in my classes. It is important to put yourself out there to meet knew people because you don't want to go through college being shy and then later on regret it. I think it is also important to get someones number in each of your classes just in case you go to do homework one night and then you have a question about something.
I have learned that when you are coming into college you aren't the only one trying to make new friends. So now I know making the change into college is nothing to be nervous about because everyone is in the same position. I am glad that I told myself to not be shy the first week of school and to be more outgoing because now I made so many new friends and I am so much more comfortable with where I am now!
