<p>I don’t really think being shy is too much of an issue. I know lots of people who consider themselves shy, including me! </p>
<p>I think I’ve become more outgoing since I’ve come to college. The first few weeks can be frightening because you don’t know anyone, but you have to realize that all the other first-years are in the same boat! Everyone is nervous whether they act so or not. People find their niches I think.</p>
<p>However, this doesn’t mean that you’ll have someone to eat with/hang out with all the time. I’ve eaten by myself plenty of times and it doesn’t really bother me. Lots of other people do it too!</p>
<p>I get the feeling college is just a situation that pushes you. You will meet new people, but will they all like you? Probably not, but you’ll find the ones who do and be friends with others. I don’t really feel like you will get lost at Wellesley. We are a close community! :)</p>
