How to have new, exciting experiences
How I did it: i suppose this one doesn't really have a certain point where it's completely finished. but i think i've mastered it. :) I went skydiving for my birthday, which is probably the most stereotypical "new and exciting experience." I've also been rock climbing outdoors, pole vaulted for my track team, helped pull the senior prank, eaten ice cream on the baseball field with two random kids at 1am, and spilled my guts to a hefty majority of my classmates at one time. I've come out of my shell a lot in high school. I was even voted "most adventurous!" haha, go figure! It's been an awesome journey. beyond words, in fact. I'm so glad with what I've accomplished.
Lessons & tips: be yourself. but remember that it will be necessary to expand your comfort zone. surround yourself with friends who will give you that nudge that you need, but won't push you out of the plane without a parachute.
