As a Christian, I am disgusted by the state of this campus. Everywhere I go, I hear of people having premarital sex and not thinking anything of it. Smoking weed, (aka the devils lettuce), is considered the norm. It is heinous and disgusting and I wish that this campus would become more godlylike and Christian. I tear up when I think about all of the people in this college who probably masturbate. This school is sick. We need to bring the fear of god into NAU.

HEY. If you are offended by other people’s beliefs and ideas then you don’t belong here. You are an adult. You no longer need to be sheltered so that people don’t hurt your emotions. Being gay is not a choice. Being a whiney, pathetic socially needy drama queen is. Being black is not a choice. Being a lying, self aggrandizing, unreliable, shady thug is. Being born with a penis is not a choice. Being a rapist is...But you can also be a straight drama queen, a female rapist, or a white thug. The things you cannot change do not dictate the things that you can. Being a thoughtful, well-read, courageous, innovative, healthy, high-spirited, trustworthy person of integrity is also a choice. see how this works? A person should be respected or detested based on the merit of their actions, not because someone says that that group is special. I SHOULD have the right to voice my disapproval of a person's fashion choices or political ideas or whatever, the same as they have the right to be fucking morons. If people can't disagree with each other, how can we ever grow? If I tell you you're an idiot and you ask why, we can have a discussion where maybe one of us will gain a new perspective. If you, being overly sensitive and vain, decide that I'm just racist or transphobic or whatever, then you miss the chance to spread your message, or maybe learn from someone else's.

You are in college so you can to learn to struggle, to fail, to be upset, to have your ideas and beliefs challenged. And from those things you will grow. If you think life won’t do those things to you go home. Stop playing the victim card every time someone says something that offends you. This a university, not a daycare.

I'll be making 60k straight out of college, and I'm graduating with zero debt.

It really fucking sucks going to school full-time, working two part-time jobs, and still not having enough to support myself. I got decent grades in high school for a student that also had to work until midnight every school night to be able to help my mom pay rent and got a partial scholarship. I don't drive, I bike everywhere, and yet I still go days without eating simply because I can't afford it. I go to events and parties where I know there will be food just so I can be sure that my groceries aren't taking up my electric bill. I know the minimum wage discussion can get very heated, but it should be a LIVING wage.

Sometimes, I go driving at night. When's late and dark and there's no one on the road, and drive as fast as I can go. I don't feel alive anymore. I'm looking for that next high that will fill the gapping whole in my mind and heart. Until the next night.
Screw depression.

Why do college students pick the dumbest shit to major in? If you are majoring in History, Anthropology, Philosophy, Human Resources, sociology, Theater, the list goes on, then you completely lack any common sense. You are going anywhere from 20-80 THOUSAND DOLLARS into DEBT for a degree in fluff?? Listen, I'm trying to help you people because your parents aren't parent enough to tell their precious snowflakes "no, that is stupid". If you do this, then you will be a slave to your debt for decades. You either won't get a job, or it will be a very low paying job. Do what Mike Rowe from dirty jobs said, carry your passion with you, but don't follow it. Meaning to go get a real job and or degree while you do whatever your passionate about once you get time and a decent income. I encourage anyone majoring in the liberal arts to go to trade school instead. You will be making more money than most college graduates within a year, all for a fraction of the cost. I have met welders that make $100,000 a year!!! The skills gap is causing a collapse of America's infrastructure because of PR campaigns and stupid parents thinking that college is the only way to go. There are hardly any millenials pursuing those careers because they either never heard about them from high schools or think they are too good for that kind of work. All I can say is to get to work kids, real work. STEM and the trades or starting your own business even.

As a 24-year-old girl, I successfully came for the first time while self-pleasing. I never thought I could do it for myself.

I feel for the guy who feels like he can't talk to any women. Mostly because I'm in the same boat, but for a lot what I'd imagine to be different reasons.

But hey, I had meet at least one. We broke up after two years, but it still said to me that it was possible after years of growing up being told that it'd never happen.

You can do that too, because you're not a failure. With time, some effort. Just hang in there and be comfortable with yourself in the meantime and it should all pan out however it would need to. Besides, most of us aren't even really adults yet, know who we are, or what we want. People change and so will you, so who knows what tomorrow will become.
