The secrets to making new friends

Making new friends can definitely feel intimidating at first. But here are the three simple secrets from me based on my experience before. Weee! STAY REAL Remember, no going into "wanting to please" mode! When you present who you really are without trying to win anyone over, you'll attract more people into your life that you feel truly comfortable with. SEEK OUT LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE Start doing activities that you love or have always wanted to do and you are almost guaranteed to find people you're aligned with. CREATE CONNECTION BY OPENING UP Revealing something personal about yourself invites the other person to do the same, which moves the friendship to a deeper level. When you start to feel like you can trust the person, take a small risk and share something and you'll probably see that she does the same in return. * Officially   SRC (Student Representative Council) Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar  University Tun Abdul Razak 2012/2013

Forgive... for your sake

I know the idea of forgiving a friend who hurt you feels impossible, right? You're probably worried that if you do that, it's like saying the way she treated you is okay. And it is not! It's never okay for someone to be mean-spirited. My mom once told me: "Some people come into your life for a reason, some for a season and some for a lifetime" Remembering that always makes it easier for me when someone I love leaves my life because I know that not everything has to last forever in order for it to have mattered.
