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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
