Living It Out

So my mission in college is to do things that make me nervous or uncomfortable. Here's what four weeks have done for me:

1) Church
I attended a Catholic church service, and that's a big deal. I have always been scared of it.

2) Applying to a service trip
Usually anything that requires me to apply and such makes me nervous because I never feel like I am ever good enough to get in. I handed it in just a few minutes ago, so keep me in your prayers and thoughts!

3) Volunteering
I volunteered at a homeless shelter, and I was scared, I don't know why, it just scared me, not the people necessarily, but the other volunteers weren't as... um cheerful

4) Retreat
I spent a night in the woods with strangers, and it was the best choice I have made since I have been here!

What are things that scare you? Have you accomplished them?

So, as you might be able to tell, I made it to college. My roommate isn't too bad, she doesn't drive me up a wall, but on the other hand, we aren't really alike in personality. I also am not completely unfortunate and cursed with having no friends. On the contrary, after two weeks in college, I have met some cool people, yet on the weekends, a good amount of them have opted to go home on the weekend. What's left? A bunch of people who like to get drunk and forget about what happened to them the night before.
Sounds wonderful, right? Well believe it or not, I actually hate doing that, and therefore feel a bit lonely on the weekends. I really miss my group of friends from back home, and at the same time, I am enjoying my independence and making a new life. Trying to think of new ideas to get myself more involved, but with all of my classes, it's hard to get into school activities. What does one do? Yet it is only the second week in college, so here's hoping for more chances and good times!
