Ever since coming to college, I have noticed that it is important to stay true to who you are. Be the person that you want to be because there is no one else who knows yourself better than you do. Be yourself and shine like the joyful person that you are.
I think it is important to remember you can not please everyone however, if you just act like yourself there is nothing they can say or do.
Yes, there will be chances where people are put into situations and they think by acting a certain way and changing their style, etc. They will fit in but in reality it is important to hangout with people who accept your true self. Surround yourself with people who are positive and uplifting. No one likes someone who brings others down. If your thinking about joining a club that someone might find not so interesting who cares, go join the club.
I know that coming to college I pictured myself being the person that I wanted to be. I wanted to fit in with the people who accepted me and were true friends. College is hard everything is going at a speed of a 100 and you are just along for the ride. I think that here at college, I might not have a million different friends, but I have found friends that I know will be lifelong. They are the ones that influence me to be the best me by being myself. They are the ones that are supportive of me twenty four seven.
College is the time where you discover your true self and true friends. I know that here at my college, I am starting to slowly endeavor the person I am meant to be. I embrace new challenges and look forward to the future where I will one day be able to pursue the career of my dreams. College is also about learning as well as growing as the person that you are. It is a place where you slowly turn into the person that you were meant to be. College, is a journey of laughter, tears, anger, and joy.
Yes, yes, yes, there are going to be many bumps in the road along the way on my journey. However, being myself is an important part of getting through it. I think without the support of my friends and family some bumps in the road I have already hit, I would have not been able to get through them. But who ever said anything is life is easy. I think that this is such a true statement because I know a lot of people that change who they are to get a higher social status or to just fit in and in the end they are not happy. They end up becoming a person that they truly aren't; they are trying to be someone they are not.
No matter, one’s opinion stay true to yourself. No one can be a better you. Remember that.
