Night on the row

Throughout high school I was kind of quiet and not that much of an outgoing person. Coming to Drexel University has changed that a great deal. In high school, I always spent time with my couple close friends. Meeting new people was I hard time because I never initiated conversation. I kept quiet and let everyone else talk. At Drexel, everyone is very friendly and outgoing and I am starting to adapt to that.



During the first day at Drexel, I spent time with a couple friends I met at orientation. They insisted we go to an event at night called night on the row where you can introduce yourself to fraternities. I suggested we just stay in and watch a movie. Let's just say majority wins so we ended up going out instead of staying in. At the end of the night I was very happy we didn't stay in. I met a bunch of new friends and got to check out what Drexel has to offer. Everyone was introducing themself, asking how classes are and such. They explained how everything works and why it is good to get involved. People that I met just that night seemed like best friends. When the event ended, new friends were calling me just to hang out and talk. I got so caught up I ended up going to sleep around five. Everyone I met introuduced me to new people so I always see familiar faces when walking the streets. That event changed everything because now I try to be outgoing instead of just sitting back being the quiet guy.
