Yesterday was our school's Spirit Night. My sorority was having a tailgate party beforehand and then they were going to go to the basketball game. I didn't want to go. I was more in a staying home kind of mood... until I remembered one of The Rules: "Show Up Even If You Don't Feel Like It."
Well, I did. And- I had a lot of fun.
I wasn't as much of a social butterfly as I could have been, but somewhere in between the tailgate party and going to the game, I realized that- you get as much out of life as you put in it. I could have just stood around and been a wallflower, but I realized that I should put all of my energy into having fun! Not having an agenda- like meeting guys, although that's always fun too- but actually having fun and meeting new friends!
I acted silly, I screamed and boo'ed at our opposing team, I met some new people, I got to know a lot more people better, and I had an all-around good time.
It's easy for me to think of a many excuses not to have fun, but I think that from now on, I need to realize that they're just excuses and give life my ALL!!!
