Meet my new friend JL. She likes coffee, her boyfriend, teaching, and being adorable. She hates drama, liars, and rudeness. I like JL. I like her a lot.
Boston can be a very difficult place to meet new people, especially in the winter when it is freezing and no one leaves their house. I met JL through my roommate (her boyfriend) but she and I have been so busy with our respective grad schools that I have never actually had a chance to hang out with her shy of eating dinner or watching 5 episodes in a row of Dexter in the apartment.
Today, however, was different. She and I are both still on winter break from school so we jumped on the opportunity to do silly girl things together (read: buy makeup and clothes and talk about boys, good places to get massages, and our nails).
I won't bore you with the details that I am sure no one cares about but I do want to dedicate this post to meeting new people. I encourage all of you to make the effort and spend time with someone new. You might be nervous and it might be uncomfortable at first but it is worth putting yourself out there. What's the worst that can happen? You have a bad time? Maybe, but you still get a story and an experience (a first if you will!) out of it.
Until Tomorrow,
Cat!
