I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Dorm Room (Potential) Woes
This weekend, I went to Buffalo, NY for a student leadership conference. Our "hotel" was the State University of New York: Buffalo's dorms.
Last year, almost everyone had a room of their own. This year, I don't know if anyone had a room of their own. So, I could have just stayed in my room and taken my chances with whoever was to be my roommate. Instead, I chickened out and shared a room with 2 of the guys I drove to Buffalo with.
For all I know, the other roommate never showed up. Or they might have done what I did and moved rooms. But I would rather room with people I know and am comfortable with than take my chances rooming with a person I might not even like. Sure, we could have turned out to be best friends if I had stayed in that room. But it was a risk I was willing to take.
