Thinking of my past few months in college as a freshman and compare that to the summer before my college years started, I'm definitely a different person. Who knew a person could change so much and endure so much in such a short period of time...
Im not a completely different person that I changed dramatically but I have learned alot about myself and who I am. My perspective of things have really been challenged and how I look at life in a certain light. I realized how important people are in my life. Being apart from my loved ones have only strengthened my relationship with them. Which is amazing! College has also caused me to challenge myself with my comfort zones. Im naturally a passive and quiet person with extrovert tendencies. And my time here at Cal State Ive been moving up levels with my comfort zone and has enabled me to be much more confident and stronger.
One of the things that Im hoping will expand my comfort zone is the upcoming event of a date auction. A club here at CSUSB is taking part in a date auction as a fundraiser for Vietnamese families/kids. My friend asked me to be a part of the auction and I said yes thinking that he wouldnt really need my help. [ Man was I wrong. ] If you asked anyone who has known me for years they could probably say I wouldnt imagine Lindsey to be part of this...Hahaa.
So I think Im partly doing this for myself. Not for a random date with a complete stranger but just to show to myself that I am able to push my own limits without having someone to do it for me. Whatever the outcome Im going in with a smile and out with a bigger smile knowing I initiated this "opportunity".
Wish me luck!
