The First Time: Our First Blog

Have you ever tried something for the first time, having no idea how it is going to go? Have you ever been nervous or anxious about trying something new? Does risk-taking come challenging to you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the right place!

Welcome to “The First Time” where we will aim to provide authentic stories and advice to face any new experience as you navigate growing up. The saying there is a first for everything rings true, and we hope that with our help, you will be successful in all that you attempt. Specifically, this blog will explore the anticipation and stress of trying new things, for the first time. We can all remember the first time jumping off a diving board, riding a bike without training wheels, or sleeping overnight at a friend’s house. We relate to the stress and anxiety of the unknown, and the relief and satisfaction when you accomplish the task. Our goal is to use psychological research and personal experience to bridge the gap between wanting to do something and actually doing it.

GET EXCITED….

As we look ahead, here is a sneak peak at what content you can expect to see from us ASAP; First Canadian Thanksgiving, First Time Signing a Lease, First Dates in Kingston, and Prep 101: How to Ace your First University Exam.

That being said, we would love to hear from you! Please let us know what firsts you’ve had that you wish you were better prepared for, or what is coming up that you need advice for. No judgement, no stress, lots of laughs.
