New student org idea: Mac nudists

feeling kinda low about school lately, esp. grades and classes for next fall. Nothing's turning out the way I thought it would and I don't know how to make myself feel better.

I love myself for who I am but a part of me craves the validation of a relationship since then I would know that somebody else also loves me for who I am

I constantly worry that I overcompensate for my social anxiety and awkwardness and end up coming off as overly loud and annoying

Shy guy afraid of rejection looking for shy girl afraid of rejection...

Gabi Poole lights up my day and is such a consistent source of positivity and sunshine

Niara Williams, I applaud you for responding so thoughtfully to all these trolls. I do not have the capacity to do it, but I am glad you do. #VenmoNiaraFiveBucks

Remember that time the baseball team had a progressive and called it 'The Trail of Beers'? I do. And coupled with my not-so-savory experiences with people on the team, you have to understand why I hate cishetwhitejockmen. And when I say that, I'm sort of kidding, but sort of not, you know? I know they're not all bad and that there are probably great guys on the team, but after having a chain of negative experiences with them, I'm scared. I am really fucking scared that as a tiny woman of color, something will happen to me and there will be nothing I will be able to do about it. So for the past three years, I protect myself by consciously choosing not to interact with them when I don't have to. #sorrynotsorry
