Changes

Change...something that everyone experiences and observes throughout life. Change can bring either good or bad. With change there are whole new perspectives and mindsets. Even though people feel that they are impervious to change, lets face it as time progresses people eventually change. Whether it be a subtle gradual change or a sharp obvious change.

Since the start of this year when everyone went off to their respective colleges I feel that we have all changed in some way shape or form. I believe that the cause for this change that occurred was due to the anonymity that is created because everyone is in a new place where they do not have a reputation yet. So they can start off with a clean slate and develop a reputation or perception of themselves. Since during high school and jr. high everyone is labeled with a reputation and it sticks all throughout until college. With this anonymity people are able to change the way they were perceived in jr and high school.

For example, I was always the shy nice guy in jr. and high school. When I got to college I decided to change myself so that I was not as shy as I was in high school. The way I went about changing myself was I would force myself to socialize with people in my hall. Eventually this paid off and I'm not as shy anymore as I was in high school and I think I'm a little more confident in myself than I was before, and plus I got to meet a lot of new friends.

So change will eventually take place there's no stopping it from happening. Trying to resist change is futile since everyone will eventually undergo change. Everyone changes, either for the better or worse, but everyone does change.
