21 New Things

I'm doing new things. Lots of new things. I'll be 21 this June, so I decided to copy the lovely Sarah Von over at Yes and Yes and make a list of things I want to accomplish before/while I'm 21. It's gonna be good. The full list is on the sidebar. I'll write about them as I accomplish them.
These are things that I made goals to do, but I didn't see them happening unless I told someone about them. Now I have to do them. Yikes!

(don't worry, global domination is not on my list of things to do before I'm 21. I'm saving it for 30.)

2 Uncomfortable Things

{I seriously just keep looking at the pictures of the ball and they continue to make me happy.}

I went to Heather's FHE tonight, where we played charades.
Can I just tell you that the boys gave me "Don't be a Menace to the South Central while Drinking Your Juice in the Hood"?
{Thank you, Matt, for knowing that there is actually a movie called that out there. What other ridiculous information do you have stored in your head?}
14 words? How do you sign that with only 10 fingers?
It was difficult. And no one told me when the timer went off, because they just wanted to see how far we got.
We got through south central in about 3-4 minutes. Impressive, right?

Anyways, I did 2 hard things today. I ran more than I wanted to and I played charades. Thank you, friends, for pushing me. I feel more comfortable with myself/like a better person already.

Uncomfortable

Do one thing every day that scares you.
~Eleanor Roosevelt

Everyday last week, I ran into this quote somewhere or another.
It started to get annoying.
And then I started to think about it.

What do I do that makes me uncomfortable? What do I do that scares me?

The answer is nothing.
I like my comfort zone.
I stay in it perpetually.

Time for a new me.
Time to be someone that is not afraid of adventures or exciting things or new things.
Time to widen my horizons.

I started on Saturday with a ponytail. I hated ponytails. I was afraid of how they would look on me. I was afraid of them because I had never tried one. So I wore one to pilates class on Saturday. And what do you know? It was very good and very convenient. So when my hair is straight, I will be wearing more ponytails.

On Sunday, I studied with someone. I have never studied with someone before. I'm the kind of person who does a lot better learning alone. Or so I thought. But when a cute boy wants to study for religion class, you don't say no. And I loved it. I remember everything we went over, which is a first for me. I will studying with people more. Or just with cute boys more.

Monday I went to a 6:00 am spinning class. Need I say more? It hurt SO BAD! But it was worth it. I felt so good the rest of the day.
I will be spinning again.

Today I haven't decided what to do, but I promise to keep it up.
Pretty soon, I won't be scared of anything.
