• get a change of wardrobe; people have been encouraging me for years to wear more dresses and make-up and be more feminine
  • talk to most if not all of my classmates the next school year
  • make effort to be closer with the people I genuinely like
  • do some exercising at least, maybe biking, running, swimming, or basketball with cousins and dad
  • spend less money on food for calarts sophomore year! I really felt guilty when dad came and he gave me a hundred and I spent it all in a week bc eating out with friends + owing people back
    • I gave into temptation a lot, and also into not wanting to displease others. I got pleaded a bunch of times to go when I rejected
    • Gave into temptation to go grocery shopping when I knew I didn't really need it; the cafeteria food is enough for me to get by. If I had controlled myself better during second semester, I wouldn't have spent so much money.
  • just be more sociable generally!
    • initiate more often. I've been doing this more or less, but it's emphasized to me more than ever now I must continue this, because things will just never come to me. I've always known that too, so why am I not taking any action?!
      • when around strangers who are not initiating, INITIATE!!!!! next year, this must happen for upperclassmen! I MUST TRY!
      • I must remember that when people initiate with me, I am flattered, so it should be that when I initiate with someone, the person might be pleased in return, too. Plus, it's very notable when someone initiates with you.
      • This possibly means I must stop being angry at those who I am in conflict with, and I'm sure this will happen once the next year starts. I notice that I am capable of moving on and forgiving considering that I no longer feel angry against the worst enemies I've had in my life.
      • stop being afraid and self-conscious. I already know that people don't care enough when I mess up or make mistakes. The world is not focused around me. I need to be myself and free more than ever. Besides, as a type 5, I realize it is healthier for me to take a risk and have confidence. To stay in my comfort zone is to wait for people, and as stated, it will not come to me.
