I am almost there. I care about a lot less, but there are still somethings there. I want to look good for by boyfriend, but I am being to realize that he thinks I am beautiful no matter what I look like. I still don’t want people judging my relationship with my boyfriend, but I care less and less if people see us kiss in the campus center. There are still some labels I don’t want placed on me, but I am starting to learn that it only really matters if I put the labels on myself, and if people really care about you the gossip won’t matter.

How I did it: I no longer care if I annoy people. I am sure I do less because I am less of an attention whore, but I have realized my life isn't about pleasing other people but it is about making myself happy, so as long as I am doing that it doesn't really matter if people find me annoying.

How I did it: I was watching a movie with my friend at the time Josh. We started spending more time together, and we had watched a movie together the day before.

I am doing better with this, thanks to my boyfriend Josh. Unlike me Josh doesn’t just ramble on so when he says something I like to listen. He is careful about what he says and how he says it and in turn I try to do the same when I am with him and because of this I notice that I am starting to apply that to other people as well. I am still not where I want to be, not at all, but I feel myself taking a step in the right direction
As I am coming to the end of the term I am participating more in class because I am more comfortable, but I don’t want to cross this off until next term to see how I am at the beginning of the term with new people in new classes.
