Stepping outside your comfort zone

I'm looking for new ideas. I've made some big changes to my life recently, and that's meant I've had to make new friendships as I've left my old life and city behind me. I push myself at uni to learn new things, and I took up guitar this year to force myself to learn something that feels very unnatural and difficult for me (it's getting easier the more I practise ).

Got to get my driving licence too this year. So shameful not being able to drive at my age!

Any ideas what else I can try? What sort of new experiences and challenges do you seek? At the meet on Saturday night people mentioned ski-ing, which I've never tried. I'm hesitant to give it a go as I like relaxing holidays, but I won't know if I like it or not unless I try it!

Im in the same situation as you, also just moved from home to go to Uni. I have always dreamed of it but I am out of my comfort zone. I describe myself as being very independent already but the fact that my brother and mum arent there to talk to me makes me a little lost I say.

Although it has been a few months now I think of it as I am maturing and moving on with life and trying new things.
