I have chronic depression and my room mate was absolutely convinced it was a spiritual issue. It was so offensive. I gave a speech in my oral com class about depression, and only one person raised their hand when I asked how many people believed it was a biological issue. Everyone thinks I'm just sad and don't know how to be happy, or that satan is just attacking me. Almost everyone I've met thinks that I can eventually get over it if I just think positively.

Bryce B is one hot mothereffin man. God that man has made me stumble so much in my sexuality. I seriously want to just tell him how I feel, even though I know he would never reciprocate back.

I'm starting to worry that I'm becoming a sex addict...
It's only been a couple of weeks since I last had it and I'm dying.
Every single day since has been a major struggle.
What should I do?

One time during open dorms, I snuck a girl up the fire escape into my room and we had sex. Luckily I knew how the alarm worked on the fire escape door and I turned it off. Probably would not have worked if my RA was not in the bathroom but I was lucky enough not to get caught. When my RA came knocking at the door me and my girlfriend got really quiet. He didn't know if I was here or not because he didn't see me come in, and he couldn't hear us because someone was playing really loud music. (I guess he thought I was still at the library studying). #confessed

Every time I hear the terminology "reclaimed virgin" I face palm. It's sad that we've placed the importance of virginity so much over monogamy that someone's entire self worth is placed in just the terminology "virgin." You don't see people going around saying "I'm a reclaimed no gossiper." Just say you're not having sex anymore until you get married (or better yet, no one wants to even know about your sex life or lack thereof). The fact that you've had sex before doesn't make you any different of a person. Also, I keep meeting these other people at ORU who say things like "we saved ourselves until marriage. We did everything except sex" and they get super offended when I start chuckling. I guess doing "just the tip" (which is apparently a thing among some waiting until marriage, who knew) and blowjobs for four years of a relationship doesn't count as anything while the rest of us little whores are just having a normal sex life with our significant other and getting scoffed at. If you can get an STD, you're going far enough. you're not "saving" anything, you're just being weird. If you're going to have sex, have sex. And if you want to wait, wait. This hilarious middle ground reclaimed virgin and "everything but" virgins are something I've never heard of until I came here.

I never cussed, smoked or drank until coming to a Christian college. I smoke regularly now and I've been drunk twice this week.

Christians who disregard scientific evidence further perpetrates the stereotype that all Christians are ignorant and simpleminded. I'll admit that I myself fall between agnostic and Christian. I recognize God's imprint throughout creation and the astounding amount of intricacy found within it, but there are some major flaws within the Bible. The earth is not 6,000 years old- the amount of evidence proving this does not make this worth discussing more. There was no global flood- the issues of genetic bottlenecking, different races, the geology that would be seen from this, and different animals that are localized to specific areas, such as marsupials to Australia, are four easily identified issues with that. The amount of evil and atrocities inflicted by "God" is also troubling. Did God really send bears to maul and murder 42 children because they called Elisha bald? Did God really allow Satan to cause horrible pain and suffering to Job just to prove a point- I thought Jesus said, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Wouldn't this be a contradiction? My point being that I can not consider the Bible to be infallible, especially with the multiple translations, additions, and subtractions the Bible has experience throughout its' existence. I believe In God and try my best to believe in Jesus, but there are some fundamental flaws in the Bible and Christianity that are quickly swept underneath the rug. Instead of addressing the issues and problems, the people who pose these issues are attacked and derogatorily labeled. The hatred spewed against anyone contradicting or questioning the Christian is astonishing and is only surpassed by hatred towards gays and Muslims. I know this is a long post, but I just wanted to address some things that have been on my mind. This

Unlike these other people I'm not gay. I'm not bi. I'm happy with the men I've dated and slept with in my life. And yet, I'm still curious what it would be like to sleep with a girl. I'm not crushing on anyone. I'm not planning on dating any girls in just plain want the experience and then get over my curiosity. I know it's all wrong and I'm often disgusted by it. It kills me that I crave such a flighty, quick experience when I don't need to be wasting time. But that's what I crave. I'm ready. I'm just frightened by my willingness to sin.
