It makes me feel appreciated to hear all your responses. You guys are inspiring. I am curious. My problem is not opening up a conversation; rather it is the point of taking it somewhere. I just feel "lost" when it comes to that. And I do worry about what I am going to say. It is confusing. But I think a lot about what someone else is thinking about me.
"make sure you realize you can accept the shit given to you by guys who will be 5, 6, or even 7 years younger than you. I also don't know if going to mixers is exactly going to be something you like to do. Plus sorority girls might not have a good impression of you solely on your age. Make sure you're doing this for the now rather than trying to relive a college experience as if you were 19/20."
I admit part of me wanting to rush is so that I can have a fun college experience. It is confusing. But I will take anything I have to because I understand that although I may be older than the other guys; they are much older in other ways. I hope that is what I am trying to say.
One way I have been thinking about this is to come up with things that I can offer. First, I would say that although I am socially awkward, I work out, am an honors scholar, tall, and attractive. And although I am not the most athletic person now, I was when I was a kid. I used to play baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and in High School I was a wide receiver. So, I can learn. I am a fast learner. I struggled to build a company while living in my van in Arizona. I struggled. And I made it work. I can look at the dirt on the wall and see the stars. After I graduate I will be really rich. So, I will donate lots of money and build chapter houses in areas that are in lack of resources. So I have much potential to be a cool guy. Also, I planned not mentioning my age because I look 18-19. I just wanted to share that. I am curious. What do you guys think?
