assignment 12 - Bethany welch

I generally just begin with small talk and try to find something we have in common, and then try to have a conversation about that. I'm pretty bad at being creative with conversations, so I generally hope the other person is pretty talkative so that I'm able to keep talking. I struggle a good bit with being an outgoing, social person, however, I know I'll need to be when going on to college since I probably won't know anyone there. I generally can make myself be social until I get to know someone pretty well, then it just comes naturally. I tend to make friends easier with talkative people, but I do get socially burnt out easily and I don't talk much. I am really looking forward to college though because I'll get a fresh start in meeting people and they probably won't have pre-made friend groups that I'll have to try to get into.
