#428 I've graduated now, but when I went to ORU I was the only one of my friends who was old enough to purchase alcohol, so they would have me buy it for them. Then I would carry it back onto campus and we would drink it in my friend's room. But our mutual friend was an RA so if she ever came in we would have to hide everything real quick. One time on my way in I stopped in EMR lobby to talk with some guy friends and just kept thinking "I hope nobody catches me with this bottle of Jack Daniels in my bag!" At the time I thought I was being so sneaky....

#427 I got raped by a "godly" RA at ORU, and the only person I told didn't believe me and got really mad at me. I don't think anyone ever will. He has an fiance and everything and helps out with missions and is loved as one of those super "godly" people. I personally am a Christian, I don't want to send people away from God with this confession, there are a lot of fake christians out there. but I honestly want to rip his high horse apart and everyone oohing and ahhing over his engagement pictures and pictures of him holding african kids or whatever. His perfect little life. He told people I wanted to hook up with him, and now I look like a whore for being drunk one night and being sexually taken advantage of. no one will ever believe the "he raped me" thing, I hear guys complain about that all the time, and i'll be laughed at. There's no proof, there's nothing. I know even if this went somewhere, no one would believe me, and I would always be blamed as that stupid whore trying to ruin a good man's life.

#426 I left ORU a year ago because there seem to be so many extremes. Either people are super bitter and feel like people were judging them consistently, or people seem to be super judgmental. I felt like people knew me based off of whatever rumors were spread about me, none of which were started by people who ever talked to me. It seemed to be so dog eat dog. Here at my college in Colorado, it's so different. I feel a lot more free to be myself. I can drink a beer or two and make hash brownies/smoke pot, and have no problem having a Bible time and talking to Jesus. I don't feel like I either have to break mainstream Christianity or be a judgmental asshole, I just want Jesus. And no one is wearing a mask. Some people are super nice, and others are assholes, but all are themselves. I'm not trying to pull people to different schools, I just hope people would settle their differences at ORU, because the school has good potential. Try befriending someone who is a completely different political party. Try to focus less on that super opinionated guy in your theology or humanities class who just likes to hear himself talk, and don't take it personally. I swear every school has that guy. Learn how to find happiness, it's a choice. If you need to leave, leave, and if you want/have to stay spread love, not bitterness or condemnation.

#425 I have had some time to think, pray, and cool down and I would like to apologize for some things I said here. I was deeply offended by one anonymous comment by a student on this page and responded with "You don't belong at ORU, but since your a senior you should probably finish what you started." That remark was inappropriate. There was other similar comment made by another student and I responded with something like "I'm sick of you people who try to justify your sin on this page. The only people you fool are yourself and a handful of other 'stupid and naïve people.'" That remark was also wrong.
I actually do have a small confession to make here. Those comments were related to premarital sex and there some people dear to me who damaged their lives having sex before marriage so when I see people, especially at a Christian college trying to justify or even brag about doing this sin it really hits a soft button with me. I responded in anger and pride when I should have responded in love and compassion, or not at all. There is a spirit of pride at ORU and I don't want to add to it, so I also apologize for my attitude.

I also came to the realization that I actually addressed the comments in an unbiblical way. In Matthew 18, Jesus said that if you see your brother in sin you should first confront him in private and if that doesn't work, take one or two elders, and if that doesn't work, take it to the church and if that doesn't work, then you treat them as an unbeliever. I have no way of doing that via facebook so I should not just jump into tearing into people for things hear, at least until I have taken the first two steps. Proverbs also says that if you answer a fool according to his folly you become one. I'm not going to call these people fools, I'll let God judge that, but their action was foolish because they posted attempts to justify sin without caring about the outrage and heartache it might bring to people who read it. I did the same thing in the way I responded to them.

I graduated from this college and I do not know when I will set foot on the campus again, so I have no way of talking to you people face-to-face anytime soon. From this point forward, if I see something that looks like justification or bragging about the sin you committed, I will keep my mouth shut and let God judge you. I apologize for the hostile and inappropriate comments I made and will try to be more loving, compassionate, helpful, and careful with what I leave here. I know this post is anonymous, but I think you all know who I am.

#424 Deep deep deep down, I secretly want to be noticed by the men's soccer and baseball team. I could say a million times that I'm not into them and rather find a much more lowkey, nice guy but honestly (and as a freshman girl), its exciting and kinda hard to ignore. And before you judge me as an easy clueless freshman girl, it's really because everyone so far makes them sound so exclusive and as if they like only "top-notch" pretty girls. They're intimidating and to say that I don't get nervous and insecure when I walk passed them in saga would be a lie. I'm kinda tired of it because I don't know any of them and they're probably actually really nice... or really not all that special as they're looks make them out to be. I don't know. Its frustrating.

#423 I know when my husband and I were dating, we had sex multiple times a week at ORU just like anyone in a normal relationship. The random sex rules don't stop anyone from having sex, in the words of one of my professors "it just makes you super creative at where to have it." What's really funny is talking with people from other schools who simply just have sex in the dorm, and I sound like some freak when I mention some of the places my husband and I would bone. And these places are totally normal to ORU students, because we've all been in that place of "okay, where should we do this tonight?" haha. I don't really know why so many ORU students assume that no one ever hooks up or has a sex life except the "partiers" or sports players (although you always know that people all over each other in the fishbowl or outside dorms are definitely not getting laid haha). I think it just bugged me that I had to be so secretive about it, like it was some rare or terrible thing. I actually enjoyed ORU for the most part, and I made a lot of friends there. I just didn't enjoy having to be secretive. I know a ton of people hook up, my best friend even had a one night stand with a chaplain. It just sucks that everyone does stuff that any college student does, but keeps so many aspects of themselves secret.

#422 I'm bi and I made a fake facebook account just so I could try to hook up with guys on campus.

#421 I'm afraid ORU is going to ruin my chances at a future.
