Check Your Surroundings

As a college student, it can be hard to tell if you’re surrounding yourself with the right type of people. You are always meeting new students and getting older through the process. Make sure that your friends have goals and motives just like you do. You want people who are going to make you grow and not hold you back.

Being apart of Malone’s golf team has shown me how to have a teammate and a friend. From previous experience, teammates have seen me as competition rather than someone they can count on. We hardly talked, only to discuss the sport rather than having meaningful conversations. I’m glad that has changed over the years and there are reasons why. I got to know these girls on a deeper level, we have shared personal stories and bonded over team activities. I know that I always have a teammate to call up whenever I need it! With this being said, I want to encourage you whether you’re an athlete or not, to step outside of your comfort zone and start a conversation with someone you aren’t as close with. It could change your life!
