I’m going to keep it 100 with you guys. I like staying in my little bubble. I’m not much of a risk taker. I like to stay places where I know I will be safe and where I know what to expect. But this past year has been different for me. Instead of staying in my comfort zone, I threw myself into a bunch of new scenarios. This year has taught me that trying new things is an important part of life.

I’ve recently done a bunch of cool things I didn’t think I’d ever do. These situations definitely brought me out of my comfort zone, but I’m glad I experienced them. Not only that, but they taught me some great lessons. So I thought why not reflect on these situations and then share the lessons I’ve learned?

That’s what I’ll do today.

3 New Things I’ve Tried This Year

1. Going to my first ever concert

Before this year, I, Cynthia Divina Ntinunu, had never attended a concert. This comes as a surprise to people because 90% of my peers have attended at least once concert in their lives. I’ve never been because I never had enough money and I never found anyone worth going to see. I never listen to a full album by anyone and I wouldn’t know what to do at a concert.

But this all changed on April 25th, 2018, a day after my birthday. I had the pleasure of attending a Cardi B concert at my university. If anyone knows me, they know that I love me some Cardi B. OKURR!! She is funny, her music is lit, and she’s the most adorable pregnant person ever. So you can say that I lowkey partied with Cardi.

My school won a Tinder contest and we got a free concert by Cardi B. Let me just say that the concert was an interesting experience. I was on the floor and it was a mess. Despite not liking the floor experience, I learned that the next time I attend a concert that I shouldn’t get floor tickets.
