How I did it: I've always been interested in sports but throughout high school i just quit evrything. Really regret it now. So i decided to take a stance and try and get more invovled again. So i joined the gym to try and get my fitness up to give me a little confiedence first. Then i started signing up for races which is when i joined mt running club. Then a few months later when i got back into uni i decided a fresh start was in order and so i signed… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I wrote 3 letters altogether. one for a years time, one in 5 years and another in 10 years time. They all pretty much long the same lines of me describing friends and relationships mainly as thats the most important thing and the most i worry about now. But i tried to descible what my expectations are for each too, trying to keep in realistic and acheivable. But i think its safe to to say that most if not everyone just want to be happy an… Read how I did it…
How I did it: train for it by gradually increasing your distance then concentrate on imporiving your time for that distance then once that becomes comfortable increase your distance and so on unitl you reach the 10k mark. Read how I did it…

Scary: I made the first step in making conversation to try and get to know more people and get some mates at uni. It feels good to be social.
yesterday was a really good day after a really shitty few days before. I had a load of work to do for friday for uni and was having a hard time getting it done and done well. Anyway i managed to produce something even if i still feel the quaility wasnt as good as sme others. Anyway we spent all afternoon waiting for each person to get their crit on a one to one basis. So everyone else was waiting out in the foyer area. At first i was just sitting by myself casue when i arrived there was no one else i knew. But then as the crit got underway everyone in the year was there and i was still on my own. I felt really lonely but not being the type to just strike up conversations with other i stayed where i was for a while. But i hate being like that and it makes me feel quite shit about myself so i just thought fuck it and moved. Went and found someone i knew and chatted for a bit with her. Went ok, but then she was called in no that long after and i was on my own again. Shit. So i ended up standing there for ages trying to look busy. But then as people were getting called in and leaving everyone seemed to move about and at one point this crowd moved right up next to me as if not even noticing or caring that i was standing nearby so again i thought “fuck it” and moved to someone who i’ve spoken to once before and as i walkd towardds her she smiled and waved so i felt better.
And thn when i came outo of my crit people were asking how it went and then i started chatting to someone else that i had never spoken to before and was actually able to hold a conversation! Like i feel these are really small things but its a bug deal for me cause im way too shy and want to be more comfortable around people. So i feel really happy that i actually managed to talk to folk where i was the one who started the conversation. Happy days!!
