Getting out of your comfort zone

I feel like what finally made me reach out to people and get involved more, was the realization that no one is coming to save me.

Life isn’t always like the movies. The cute girl or guy isn’t going to necessarily sit down next to you and magically change your life.

You have to put in effort. And it doesn’t always work out. Some people will lose interest or fall out of touch. But the moment you start spiraling into “no one likes or notices me, I’m going to die alone,” it’s not a healthy place to be. Trust me, I’ve been there.

To all the freshman struggling to make friends, I believe in you. You’ll meet new people and friends, whether it’s during your time at Stony or in the outside world. You matter and you are worth it, gotta show the world who’s boss :)
