3 Things I'd Do If I Wasn't So Afraid

In This Article:

There are so many things that I'd like to do if I wasn't so afraid. Some of these things are just so adventurous that I don't think I'd ever have the will to achieve them.

Skydiving

This one is something I would so love to do. Think about it, you're jumping out of an airplane and literally get to see the earth from a whole new perspective. In my mind, that is just so cool to think about. One day, hopefully I will just be able to go once.

Bungee Jumping

Now I have to admit, I am more afraid of the thought of bungee jumping than the thought of skydiving. Nonetheless, it would still be pretty cool and fun to do. I think the part that freaks me out the most is that it's wrapped around your feet, like how could anyone just go willingly?

White Water Rafting

I think this would be so much fun! If you go with friends and family, I feel like it's a team effort and you'd get bonding time in. The only thing that stops me from white water rafting would be how fast the water moves, and the fact that it looks just a tiny bit dangerous, haha.


I hope that I can get over being afraid of these. It'd be awesome to accomplish all three and have cool stories to tell. Only time can tell!

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
