-- Posted by storyofmylife223 at 10:47 am on June 29, 2008 i'm going to college as a freshman in a few months and i think i might be a little shy. ok, very shy. to the point where i may not participate in any conversations and might be in a shell and not make any friends. alcohol usually gets me more social and lets me cut loose a little bit. so i was thinking maybe i could do a couple shots before i went to my first classes. not get drunk or anything, but maybe a little tipsy. just enough so i can loosen up. thats not a bad idea...is it? -- Posted by assman27 at 10:50 am on June 29, 2008 any idea from you is a bad idea. xx -- Posted by storyofmylife223 at 10:50 am on June 29, 2008 um... -- Posted by blessedbeaut8 at 10:51 am on June 29, 2008 bad idea, u dnt want something stupid to come out wen the teacher asks u a question -- Posted by Potterishdancer at 11:15 am on June 29, 2008 no. dont do that! thats never a good idea. u need to build-up ur own confidence. once u get there there may even be people that come up to U and start a conversation. if not, do it urself. im shy too. but putting urself out there and even just saying hello gets ur face in peoples heads and theyll answer back. give it a try. pm me if u need -- Posted by JulieisWHOA at 7:04 am on July 6, 2008 It's sad when the only way people can let loose is alcohol. I hardly ever drink. You just have to be yourself. You don't need alcohol.
