A Face in the Crowd

I have never been one to like crowds. Even just the simple task of going to Costco or Ikea has proven to be too much for me to handle.

And you can believe my reaction when I went to the University for the first time! I was overwhelmed with the number of students and people who were taking over the campus! I must admit that I felt a little nervous and highly claustrophobic!

I have discovered there is some joy to be had with just being a face in the crowd however. For one, I don't think that I have ever seen the same person twice, so I have the mindset of "so what if I embarass myself, I will most likely never see you again." I also find great happiness in people watching before class! I think I picked up this trait from my mom, in which I like to make up peoples life stories and guess what their major is... it provides great entertainment!

So, although I am still not the biggest fan of crowds, I am beginning to see how they can be fun! Now, if the crowds are in Disneyland...that is a crowd I can handle ;)
