Dear Blue,
I guess you could say I’m different. I’m not the best looking, I lack in the athletic department and I’m shy. When I first came to Cabrini I was excited to make friends, but as the years go on I feel like I am judged more than anything. I want to be accepted around here, but because I don’t “fit in,” I’m still having trouble finding my life long friends.
Sincerely,
Dare to be different
Dear Dare to be different,
You are beautiful in every shape and form. Do not let others define you. Have you tried to join clubs or other extra curricular activities? I’m also shy, but once I got involved around campus, making friends seemed to get easier. I just had to put myself out there a little bit.
I’m sure once you take one step others will take the other step. Don’ be afraid to feel accepted, trust me, it took me a long time too. As long as you be yourself, and don’t change for anyone, making friends will be easy. As for fitting in, you should want to stand out! Wouldn’t you rather want to stand out in a crowd than blend in? Like you said, dare to be different.
Sincerely,
Blue
