heart attack by age

yeah, one of the things is that i get shysometimes when talking to new people. but it’s just one of those thingsthat i try to look away from the fear, and i just try to jump out therebefore i can think about the fear. i mean, that’s kind of i howi socialize with new people. another part is practice.

heart attack by age, when you meet new people all the time,it’s easier to feel acquainted. but what really helps, i think,the most, to be -- you know, be -- to get friends and becomeacquainted with individuals is join clubs and organizationsthat meet your interests.

i mean, so let’s say if i enjoygovernment and policy, well, maybe i’m going to join a legallawyers club at my university campus. or maybe i’m going tojoin a policy group or college democrats or college republicans or things like that. i mean, if you join a group that youreally are interested and you really like, then you’re meeting memberswithin that group that share a lot ofthe same concepts. and a lot of times, you canhave a lot of good friends from that. and that was one thing that helped me.the only unfortunate part is that,

after your sophomore year,you're focused more on gaining internshipsand work experience, so then it’s a lot harder todo the things that you once did. and besides, i mean,it’s great joining clubs, but it’s important toremember that it’s -- that it’s good to investsome time into yourself. it’s one thing to always be busy and do things, but you don't want tohave a heart attack by age 30. it's important to balance yoursocial life with your school work

to make sure youhave good grades. but you don't want it so unbalanced,and where all you’re focusing on school, and you’re not focusingmuch on your social life. it's important where you havea balance between every aspect, i would say,or many of the aspects. but the problem is, is balanceis different for different people. so a lot of it ismaking your own decisions, and that’s what scares peoplewhen it comes to adulthood. but unfortunately, your parentsaren't going to live forever.

and, you know, part ofbeing independent is having a lot more freedoms, butyou know those freedoms come at a cost. well, you get to makemore of your own choices. maybe that’s a good thing.maybe that’s a bad thing. but a lot of times,being a good adult and being a good responsibleperson, it takes practice. and rome wasn't built in a day.that’s what i tell people.
