Meeting New People

Meeting new people can be a bitch, just the thought of judgement, ethnicity, and appearance are the major factors of first impression.

First day of school was like a big step towards adulthood, expecting nothing given to you, knowing you have to earn it. I realized that college is an easier place to make friends, the learning environment, and especially with this Bayan Learning Community, you will not be a stranger. My intended audience is towards Bayan Scholars(Peers) or anyone who caught interest on my topic.

 My reactions and feelings while meeting new people is hardly describable in words; meaning actions speaks louder than words. Since im an Introvert; I try my best to make more friends but the other side, i'm really shy and wouldnt know how to start off a good conversation; and this could relate to many people, im not alone. These two courses has really helped break out my shell, and made me interact with my peers.

 I honestly thought I wouldnt make as much friends on my first semester; but I proved my self wrong. The thought of meeting new people can affect individuals, making them confident or nervous when the time comes. I was nervous, due to the fact that whatever I say or do; they will judge.

Im not assuming everyone judges, I just believe that first impression is always the key factor in establishing a new friendship.
