A Letter To The Shy Girls: Told By A Shy GIrl

Dear Shy Girls,

I know school isn't what you look forward to because of how many projects there are. You would rather do all of the work than present it to the class of people who are not relevant to you. Making friends is hard because you don't talk as much has you should. You're in your own bubble, but you don't mind because life is simpler like that. Keeping your head down so you don't get called on in class. You pretend to know the material so you don't have to ask questioned.

High school is the time to get over the shyness you have. Being in college and being shy is a bad way to find out what you need. It's a time in your life where finding friends is going to help you be okay with not being home. You start to find out who you really are. You are going to ask questions and feel uncomfortable at times and will have to stand up in front of people that you have to clue about.

Finding a job is going to be hard, but you'll get over it. The obstacles in life will better yourself and prepare you for what is to come. Find a loud guy that compliments your style. Learn from him. He will help you socially.

Lastly, be yourself. Don't be fake. You never were in high school so don't be now. You'll find your family here. Don't risk losing them. Try something new that you never thought you would ever do. Let loose, don't be so uptight.

Sincerely,

A fellow shy girl

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
