...college, help? I am just finishing my first semester of college and returning home soon for Christmas break to my mom's and to see my friends....I have always been shy and backwards so I am kind of embarassed to see my mom and my friends after coming out of my shell at college.....I am a totally different person...I like the new me, but am afraid of what others will think....I have a boyfriend for the first time in my life..I love it but feel funny letting people know...I also starting smoking cigarettes and have become addicted..I did not think it would happen (my boyfriend hates me smoking but accepts it), I also went and got a lower back tattoo (my boyfriend loves it, so most of my jeans are low and tight to show it)....my question is how do I face my mom and explain all this...and also my friends..I am so much different than I was over the summer....I kinda linke the new me, but am afraid to let people see the new me...I won;t be able to hide everything, like the cigarettes...I am at a pack a day and will need to smoke, so my boyfriend says I should come clean and tell them I am a smoker...how do I accomplish this without embarassement
