Welcoming University With Open Mic Night

Hello,

So I decided to go to a student event yesterday. Do I regret it? No way. Did I love it? No. It was somewhere in between. I've had better nights, but it wasn't the worst. I took my friend so we made it fun. I also met a hot guy on route so I can't complain.

My problem is I'm very reserved. It takes time to get to know me; I'm far from an open book. I struggle with letting people in and trusting them. Also, I'm not good with crowds or mingling with strangers. Reading this back, I sound like I have problems with social interaction, but I promise I don't. I try, honestly I do, but it's so hard forcing yourself to act in a way that's not you. I'm not unfriendly, but I'm not the friendliest. I need really friendly people around me to balance it out, like my friend and sister. Let's just say I'm not great at making the first move.

I'm shy around new people, that's no secret. Weirdly though, I'm a confident person. I'm happy to get up on stage and do karaoke or give a presentation to a room full of people, yet I find it hard approaching strangers. I'm a typical business student. I'm very independent as well, so I don't push to find friends (which I really should do as I'm at university now, again).

It was an open mic night followed by karaoke. I got my name added to the list, waited the whole night to sing, but slowly everyone left. After a few hours of waiting, two guys got up on stage to sing to their group of friends (there were probably about 10 people left at this point). They said they were the last people and I was sooo disappointed. I hadn't felt that disappointed in a long time.

I don't want to go back for the karaoke next week because the same thing might happen. I spent the whole night picking my song, decided on Bitch Better Have My Money, but didn't get to sing it. It was gonna be so fun. I'm seriously annoyed, still. It was dominated by loud people as always. No offense to loud people but it's about time quiet people get to shine. My voice is heard loudly when I sing. I only put fun things on YouTube, not the serious stuff.

Yeah, I'm gonna do a YouTube video. I love singing so why not share it with the world? 
Wow, I always go off on a tangent. That's basically my rant over anyway. Time to focus on happy things that make me smile again, like hot guys. Have you seen my previous post full of the hotties of 2015? It's definitely an eye pleaser. I will be publishing the hottest women of 2015 countdown in the next couple of days.

I hope the rest of uni is good though. I'm sure I'll love it!
