So I had literally no clue what to put here, so I took this idea from some other dude here on Batoto.

Say Something Nice About Yourself: I´m very open and accepting of most things, and I usually refrain from forming an opinion about something until I know most everything noteworthy about it, i.e a political column in the news calling for something to be diminished - I carefully read why they mean what they do, and why they believe so and so. I also like arts, such as music/paintings/drawings films shows etc. I also like to think I know a fair bit about life in general, and I have recently gone people-watching, such as going to a cafe and just sit and look at people walking by. 

Say Something Bad About Yourself: Less independent than I'd like to be, I feel socially ignorant - meaning I don't really go out of my way to talk to people, can't really read moods or keep up with the latest trends and such. Currently working on the latter part though. Something more recent is that I can´t read body language - such as faces and expressions. I blame manga and anime for that though. Im too used to be able to pause videos and stare until I get it. Having a split-second to do so in the real world is really tough :/

How Would You Go About Making Friends: Meet, greet, and tread lightly - you have no idea who this person is yet. Ease into it, and try to find a common interest, and go from there. Ask questions, but not overly so. If, for example, the person is gay, don't go barraging him/her with questions about stereotypes/start acting visibly frightened, that's plain rude. Just say something to the likes of "thats cool" and move on. Also - and this is very important - real friendship like in movies or books etc require an incredible amount of hard labor and dedication. I have one person I can honestly say is my friend. I message him daily, and often multiple times during that. We meet every week to chat, and we know most of eachothers life. And yet, there is also a lot I don't know about him yet, but I can't do anything aside from wait and eventually get to know him better. 

Friendship is a two-way relationship, and something that should benefit everybody. 

Words of Wisdom: Don't rush through life. Just this past year I've gone from lively and talk-active to completely burnt out and distanced. If you´re starting something new, find a few people you can talk to, and from there try to incorporate more and more people into your everyday life. Don't try to do everything at once. Take it slow.

Also, as unintuitive as it sounds, just keep calm, its not a big deal. Remember that you´re a tiny speck in the universe, and the problems you´re having are just as small. This doesn't mean just forget about it, just don't blow it out of proportion. Countless times I've blown things out of proportion and prepared meticulously for something that turned out not to be even half of what I expected it to be. Nowadays I've often found myself the only one calm when a big assignment/job came in, and never once blowing it out of proportion. Just gauge each assignment/exam and put in just the right amount of effort needed to pass it. If you want to do above average, maybe set aside one hour extra just in case you need it. If you didn't do as well as you´d like to, just aim to do that next time. Its not your life being judged, it´s your knowledge of a particular and very niched subject which is likely to NEVER appear in your life ever again.

Side note: If you know any good music, please send me a youtube link or something. Especially if it's something new and hip! (God damnit I feel old ! ) I don't want to feel like a 75 year old when I'm 18!~
