Going into college, I was very fearful of things.While I’m not completely fearless now, I am so much more fearless than ever before because of my experiences in college and how God has worked in me these past few months. Here’s 5 fears that I’ve outgrown in college:

1.Fear of missing out

It doesn’t matter if I’m up to date on social media or if I don’t have enough likes on my post.College has taught me that there’s more important things than social media, TV, and pop culture, and that not staying up to date with the newest trends is okay.

2.Fear of public speaking

While this is definitely a work in progress, in college I have become more comfortable speaking in front of the class.In middle school, I would actually cry in front of the class when I had to present something.Now, I hardly feel nervous to present projects.

3.Fear of being alone

I’ve embraced being single this year.Knowing that no one can complete me except God has allowed me to enjoy being single.Focusing on my eternal purpose has also helped me enjoy single life.

4.Fear of talking on the phone

I used to hate calling people on the phone that I didn’t know, but after having to do it in college, I’ve outgrown the hatred.I still don’t really like it, but I can do it without being too upset about it now.

5.Fear of driving on the interstate

After taking a cross-country road trip this spring break, I feel a lot more comfortable driving on the interstate.In high school, when I was first learning to drive, I was horrified to drive on busy roads.

Overall, my first year of college has taught me a lot. I’ve really enjoyed this year and can’t wait to see what I will learn next year!
