I picked up a book called How to be Interesting by Jessica Hagy and started reading it and found it to be quite interesting and also an important perspective to take on. I figured I could make it into series of blog posts called LIFE! Enjoy!

I've always found it interesting to see how people become so exclusive and limit the number of people in their circles. While it's mostly portrayed in movies, I think that it's also seen in fraternities/sororities, clubs, and more. It's the, "you're not good enough," approach to life. In no way, am I criticizing any of these groups. As a coach and advisor, I also have to make selections, however, in life among our friends, we have a choice.
We've been so quick to judge in our society and trying to get a quick analysis of who people are and what they are like or are hesitant to let people in, however, why not give them a chance and let them in? Sure, it may end up that they aren't the greatest of people, but everyone deserves a fair chance. I am so lucky to have a group of friends who are pretty welcoming to new people that they meet, as it has allowed me to meet so many new people. Some of my closest friends are the best examples of this and I aspire to be just like them.
Be welcoming and maybe you'll be surprised who you meet and maybe even discover more about yourself. Could this experiment go wrong? Sure, but won't it be interesting to see how things turn out?
