1) This past semester I was determined to get more involved on campus. Although I did join a greek chapter this semester I haven't really put in any initiative to be that involved in it or in other things on campus. I tend to do this a lot when it comes to stepping out of my comfort zone and it causes me to miss out on potential new growth for myself.
2) I learned that the only way I can grow more as a person and enhance my happiness within college is trying new things and stepping out of my comfort zone. I noticed that when I fail to pursue new things I end up more frustrated within myself than I was when I wasn't affiliated with anything on campus.
3) Failure is a common fear holding people back from a lot of things. No one likes it, its discouraging, and it's embarrassing. But, failure is one of the most important takeaways from any challenge. It challenges you to view things from another angle and to improve. I've had a lot of failures within life and once I overcome them they turn out to be my favorite things. Failure is essential for improvement and although it's unpleasant and scary it adds so much more to you. In this class it was hard for me to come up with a business idea because I doubted how successful or feasible they could be. Now, I've learned to just go for it. Your first try or idea doesn't have to be perfect you just have to start and in time you will get better. I feel like I am more likely to take risks now than I was a couple months ago. I tend to overthink and now when I do I just think, what's the worst that could happen? Usually it's pretty minuscule.
