During my first year at Southeastern‚ I was not sure that this was a real college experience. A little about my background; I came from a high school not much smaller than Southeastern.

I still remember when I first came to America. I was at Charlotte Douglas International airport‚ looking around the totally strange place which was full of strangers. All I could hear was strangers talking in a language that I didn’t understand a single word. At that moment‚ I realized that I was in America‚ the America.

My first cognitive distortion is that I always tend to overgeneralize everything about my appearance. I personally think that I have bad skin genetically‚ I have really huge pores and I feel like my face is naturally oily which I hate! When I wear makeup it makes the oiliness even worst! Secondly I don’t like my weight at all! None of my clothes fit me the way I want too and my arms are still fat and don’t proportion with the rest of my body now that I have lost weight. I wish I wasn’t as skinny
