New Friends

I have problems making new friends. I've always had to work on being more social. I'm awkward in a lot of situations, and when it comes to making new friends... it barely happens.

I'm not very good at small talk or even relating to people. I don't do what a lot of girls do. Instead of going out to a club, I stay home and read. When I see Frances, we stay home and chat for hours. Hiking is one of my favorite adventures. I think rocks are the coolest things ever.

So when I actually made a new friend this semester, I was pleasantly surprised. Who knew someone so adorable was sitting right next to me? She likes so many of the same things I do, and we have gone through some of the same experiences. How did that happen? All I had to do was talk to her? I realize that the concept may seem obvious to you, but I am extremely shy sometimes. Just bare with me, I've already admited that I was awkward.

I am trying to break out of my shell more, and not be so much of a push over. I should do the things I want to do, and not worry about what others think. (Easier said then done) I think I've made a lot of progress!

That calls for a cupcake. Good thing I just made a batch, and now I have an excuse to eat one. :)
