When I came to university, I was pretty inexperienced at a lot of things. I was determined to make the transition from being withdrawn to outgoing. So I was determined to be up for things.
I know what you mean about this; I did something similar. When I started university I made up my mind to get out and try things and meet people, which is an attitude that doesn't come naturally to me. I've never thought of it as part of a reason for having a live journal, though, but then I've got some fairly specific reasons for having one.
Oh, and by the way, I think the decision you made must have paid off; by the time I turned up at university, you were coming across as someone who was outgoing and confident. I would never have guessed you used to be shy. ;)
