Ladies, Here Are 13 Things You Should Do To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone

If you want to do something, just do it.

Ladies, Here Are 13 Things You Should Do To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Here at Odyssey, we believe in you. Just pick one of these things and go get 'em, tiger.

1. Go to a movie by yourself.

As ladies, we tend to be very social people. Try going to a movie by yourself and see what happens. You may be very uncomfy, but it'll be worth it.

2. Go salsa dancing.

This is EXTREMELY important for those of you who live in the south. Experience another culture aside from "yee yee".

3. Join a gym and learn how to lift weights.

Nothing is more empowering than learning how to get stronger. It may be uncomfortable since most girls are cardio queens, but do it.

4. Do something that you're terrified to do.

Yeah, I know this sounds cliché, but what's the scariest thing that you can think of? Personally, I'm terrified of heights, so definitely the whole ziplining thing is not on my list of fun things to do.

5. Go to an exotic restaurant and let the waiter/ waitress surprise you.

Who doesn't like a little bit of adventure? And culture? Win win.

6. Fast.

Fasting is something that you can do to step out of your bodily comfort zone and become spiritually recharged.

7. Do the Whole30.

This one's kind of like the last one, but it's uncomfortable to NOT be allowed to drive to Gumby's and eat pizza rolls.

8. Ask a boy on a date.

Face rejection. I dare you. You'll be so uncomfortable doing it, but the worst they can say is "no" and move on with their lives.

9. Switch up your style.

You know that crop-top that you've always been to afraid to wear? Put that thing on, girl. Chances are you'll get mega support from all of your other ladies too.

10. Have a genuine conversation with a homeless person.

Let's start treating people like people.

11. Talk to a stranger on the bus.

Imagine what a friendly world it would be if we all talked to one another once in a while and unplugged.

12. Visit a new country.

Have you ever been to Canada? It's out of the United States and is full of adventures! To make your adventure even more exciting, go somewhere where you cannot speak the language.

13. Spend a day without trying to constantly please people.

Be yourself, not who everyone wants you to be. Spend a day to be authentically you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
