Survive college (read all 2 entries…)
First semester

So my first semester has come and gone. i’ve received a 3.468 GPA, and made a lot of friends.

when i first got to college, i was super apprehensive. i mean, college is supposed to be the best time of your life, which i was definitely NOT happening. however, i joined some clubs, got involved, and now i really like it. i think it’s kind of cool how i started being more involved in things i was genuinely interested in November, and by winter break i could consider these people good friends. if all of this happened in a month period, i figure that more time with this group of friends, and with this little niche will make me a lot happier. i’m excited to go back to school for my second semester and for classes to start on January 26.



stop being paranoid
Progress

i was reflecting on 2008 the other day. i believe that i have made immense progress on this goal. i think about myself at the beginning of the year, constantly questioning whether people REALLY wanted to be my friend, or REALLY wanted to talk to me, or silly things like that.

however now, i don’t second guess when people don’t text me back, or call me when they say they will. sometimes other things come up, and that doesn’t mean that i’m not important to the person. it’s taken me a long time to grasp this, but i think that it’s gotten significantly better. especially since going to college, and meeting a lot of new people. i’ve come to realize that time can pass without you talking to people, and that doesn’t mean that you don’t care…it means that you lost track of time, and you should reevaluate it.

i don’t constantly think people hate me when i meet them, and i don’t think that people pretend to like me to be nice to me. i just try to be nice, and if i’m friends with someone, they will stay. i feel that me being less paranoid has helped my stress levels significantly as well.
