Why are we scared or anxious to do things anymore? Why are we scared or anxious to stand up for ourselves when something happens? Peer pressure and the fear of someone judging us is the main reason. I have slowly been able to overcome that fear of being judged all the time by coming to college and leaving behind all negative past and pushing forward to pursue my future. My future right now is still kind of fuzzy. I know what I want. He knows what I want. We all know what I want. It’s getting there that will be the adventure. I have applied myself to everything there is to apply for now, it’s the wait that hurts the most. Most people get to choose their future on their own but with their parents’ permission. Not I! I get to peruse my options all on my own and learn from all my mistakes and choices. Everything so far has been an adventure. Meeting all new friends and creating new families here at ISU has been one of those adventures. Even to flying and driving 650 miles to Maryland to visit my boyfriend for 4 days and gaining many new family members and friends has been a big adventure. These adventures that I’m taking now will forever be with me. I’m happy to say that I am no longer in fear of what people think of my decisions (unless they are academic, obviously). My family has grown to accept me fully for who I am and what my future has in store as have most of my friends. Thank you. 
To end, I hope you have a fabulous day and as said by Peter Pan
“To die would be an awfully big adventure”
… so why not live it out?!
