How I did it
How to become more outgoing
It took me
4 years
It made me
satisfied

How I did it: I just gave up "trying to be more outgoing" and let myself just be me. I'm still shy sometimes. But i've come to realize how people work. It's unrealistic to expect me to be as outgoing as the most socially-inclined person at school. She's wired that way and I am not. Satisfaction is the key ingredient here. Worrying about how not-outgoing I am just made me nervous. So I warmed up to people slowly and gained their trust as they gained min… Read how I did it…

How to have new, exciting experiences
It took me
18 years
It made me

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 … Read how I did it…

How to be seriously kissed
It took me
17 years
It made me
hehe

How I did it: in a trunk, in a bed, on the neck, on my head. in the rain, in the park, in the light, (but mostly) in the dark. on a couch, on the floor, and until my lips are seriously sore. in a car a time of two, against a wall with you-know-who. :) hahaha. how did i do it? I got a boyfriend. I found someone who I could be myself with. And when it didn't work out, i remembered being seriously kissed and wanted that feeling back. so i waited until the… Read how I did it…

Go on an archaeological dig (read all 2 entries…)
finito! 16 months ago

i recently got back from an 18 day expedition dig in Idaho. my first one! it was tedious and the weather was completely dry, but i loved it! I was chosen for Earthwatch’s SCAP program, so it was all-expenses-paid and chock-full of archaeologist terms and bison bones. :) Not to mention, i got some insight into the field – which I am currently considering persuing. Overall, a great experience!

find my own style
for now... 2 years ago

I’ve settled into what i’d like to call sporty-girly-punky-spunky-cabinfever-eclectic. I love being comfy. that is key. recently flannel, fleece, tartan, wool, and peruvian-inspired patterns have been my target apparel. sweats, jeans, and t-shirts with quotes are staples as well. but i also like skirts and tight plain black t-shirts, converse and ballet flats, suede slouch boots and long sleeve school spirit wear, erratic patterns and dresses. so my style ultimately comes down to what my coach calls “throwing a bunch of shit together and calling it ‘eclectic’.”
however, taste changes. i’ll probably always being shifting my personal style, but for now, I’m happy. :)
