Being lost in a place where you think you don't fit in can be really hard, but why would we try to fit in when we are all unique and were born to stand out.

As you go into a place without knowing anyone, you should try to make friends and not be ashamed of who you are and pretend to be something your not. Make each decision your own because each choice is a step towards your future.
