only the young

Yup, I rigged the title from a Taylor swift song. Just want to remind you that TODAY you're young, this moment will NEVER come again. You will never be as young as you are at this moment. So fun, do what you want, pursue your dreams.  Right now I have zero motivation to create, write or publish an article. However, I owe it to my goal (post every week) and that's what I'm doing right now.  I shall treat this log as my journal today. Nothing significant has happened on this website until now, only a handful of people see the articles (very grateful for those few) and I'm not sure if anyone even reads them. But, in a way, it makes me more comfortable to write so freely about nothing in particular.  Today was a good day, it was Valentine's day. Nothing special has occurred and I have had yet another opportunity to pursue my dreams. I have indulged in self care, braided my hair and did my nails.  I shall now end my useless log now. Until Friday,  hx.

Now, in college I have improved and have been able to meet new friends without much difficulty. Here are three simple tips that I would suggest you try: Small talk is unavoidable As much as we all hate small
