I TOLD YOU BRO

I WARNED YOU ABOUT COLLEGE

IT KEEPS HAPPENING

Same old, just taking care of my dad and the house.

College is also tiring, make sure you get your vitamins! Also, what are you studying?

I'm studying media arts and animation. And that's nice that you're taking care of your father, a lot of responsibility.

Yup! He's my only family, so I'm just trying to make his last few years as comfortable as possible.

careful, college will become stressful when you let your guard down

Too late, already super stressed. SUPER DUPER STRESSED

Well isn't this a surprise! Finally a journal update from our dear artist here. =P

Yeah I know right? I'm such a tool~

Work work work.

I'll tryyyyyyy

for me it was a ton of fun and a ton of stress, heck, never boring x03

College is half about learning and half about meeting people. You get to know some of your lifelong friends in college because people don't already have friends and established cliques and stuff, so they are more open minded about making new friends. I had a group of friends within a few weeks of starting college, so it was never boring if I didn't want it to be, and 8 years later, we're still in touch!

Hehe, what a touching story. I do hope I meet some nice folks like you did. Which means I probably have to stop being socially awkward, haha.

Enh, it's easy, unless you're very anxious. Most of the time, there'll be another person or a few people who feel the exact same way you do. It's just a matter of making the first move and speaking to someone you don't know. Usually after a few minutes, you can tell if they're okay being talked to or not, and if they're okay, it can become a regular thing. It doesn't take much thought.

You're probably not socially awkward, just a little shy, and shyness is just a fear of other people being disapproving of you if you let them get to know you. On the flip side, if you were naturally confident and outgoing, you'd find that even if someone has a tendency to be judgemental, they'd be likely to warm up to you just because of how open you were - so being shy isn't protecting anything, really. :)
