My First Meetup!

    Hello everyone, I am trying my hardest to be confident and I try to do this by doing The Self-Esteem Workbook and getting out more! I am introverted, more specifically an INFP ( Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving) it is an MBTI personality thing. But yeah basically I generally prefer to be alone.  I still  enjoy people, and being alone all the time is kind of sucky and not just something that society will downcast on.
 
   So, during the summer while I love that there is no school and getting a job seems to be impossible now that I'm moving in less than two months, I am a lot more lonely now than I was before. Instead of beating myself up that I lost my friends, I decided to join a meetup group. I have been hearing about meetups since last summer, but last weekend I finally had the courage to join and it was fun!

    All five of us went to make chocolates, and since the location was familiar I decided why not I love chocolate! I was scared at first because I did not know what to expect. But after the initial meeting and getting to know everyone my shyness eased out a bit! We all went to eat dinner at a Chinese/Turkish restaurant where I ate chicken jasmine fried rice, and I got to know the Chinese couple, the guy from Hawaii, and the two white best friends. The only downside was that they were all older and starting their in their careers, while I'm still in undergrad, nevertheless we all laughed and joked with each other which is all that matters.

          After receiving our checks, it was straight to the chocolate factory where we joined the couples party  and  had fun making pounds of chocolate. I must have not been listening to the instructor though, because my chocolate came out like crap. However, she said that you can eat your chocolate in the dark, but I am going to show you my horrible looking chocolate  anyway!

Look at that sexy chocolate!

   The fourth picture on the bottom is suppose to be a chocolate molding of a prize ribbon. Anyway, even though it costs $22 for a pound of chocolate, it's well worth the mouth-watering chocolate in my mouth. With that being said,  this will not be my last meetup  and I will continue to take risks and get out of my shell this summer.
