#12583 How the fuck am I supposed to travel with this sex toy collection?

#12550 Why in heaven's name does anyone care about Purdue being on the list of top Party school?

#12542 Some people decided to dress up as Arabians with Islamic attributes such as turbans for this saturday's breakfast club. It was completely fine until they decided to have plastic guns as their props pretending to be ISIS. If this is not the definition of racism, ignorance, offense, generalizing all Muslims, then I dont know what is. It is just so wrong in every single aspect. Society man society. It's more saddening that it happens in an institution area, where people are supposed to be educated.

#12549 To #12498: Statelessness is a serious humanitarian issue, and enforcing it among people born in America who do not meet some highly subjective minimum criteria for citizenship would create a problem here that is typically seen only among refugees in war torn regions of the world. Tests of citizenship are for those who actually need to have their loyalty to their new home nation confirmed given the fact of their former nationality. Birthright citizenship is a welcoming and generous gesture that prevents unnecessary hardship, especially for the children of immigrants. Not only that, but it distinguishes the United States as a country of ideological substance by defining citizenship apart from ethnic, religious, or other cultural identities.

#12548 I would appreciate some advice on something: I've gone out with this girl twice, hooked up with her once, but I'm just not really feeling it. I'm attracted to her, and she's very nice, but it just like something is missing between us. I want to tell her, but I won't see her for the next two weeks.. So I was wondering if it would be acceptable to tell her this by text message or not. I know that's kind of lame but I think it would save the awkwardness for both of us. I don't know, let me know what you think. P.s. We work together, if that makes any difference.

#12563 I feel like asians get discriminated against the most at Purdue. I totally agree that some international students are really rude and stuck up but just because I'm asian doesn't mean you have to think that I'm a rude international student. I've been living in America my whole life and feel like an outcast in society because I don't fit in with other international asians and white people categorize me as asian and automatically think that I'm weird and rude and don't know english. I think this is the reason I have close to no friends at Purdue.

#12547 I truly don't believe that there is a girl out there for me. My standards are too high and I will not budge as far as theyre concerned. I need to know that people can be happy alone for their whole lives too, because that is what I think I will be. The only real problem I have with it is fighting my parents' desire for grandchildren. Does anyone else feel this way?

#12546 It's been more than a year at Purdue, and I still don't have a single friend I can call up and have a good time with. Though I was really fine with that until recently when the regret started consuming my mind. Till then, seeing an A on transcript was the only thing that made me happy and excited about life. But what's the whole point of being educated and intellectual when I cannot be a social person?
I am one of the worst ones from shy category, and it's not because I am too conscious about my words, but because I have no idea how to interact with people. It's this basic ability that I am unable to fulfill, which others can do with ease. Apart from my family members, there's no one who actually understands me. Some people find me weird because they always build a wrong interpretation of my expressions/gestures. Since I have not been a social person for a very long time, it is not surprising to know that I am struggling with something as simple as being able to express myself the right way.
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to whine about my unfitness in social context, or trying to make friends through this confessions page (even if you comment that I should send you a message, I'm so shy I will think 100 times before actually doing that). Nor I am expecting advices from you as there are better sources like CAPS, though I would be interested in seeing how you guys react to this post. But as a human being, I too have an uncontrollable desire to share my feelings, and since I don't have any friends I chose to share myself on here.
And I want you guys to know that I have never been in a community that is so caring, open-minded, and respectful. People have really shown interest in talking to an introvert like me and encouraged me to look past my diffidence. And I consider myself blessed since there are unfortunate ones out there who don't even have the ability to speak. It's just failure on my part. Cannot expect more from Purdue, where it's really difficult to find a complete asshole/bitch. Had I gone to any college in my home country, my spirit would have been completely crushed by the lack of regard people have for social outcasts there.
So far, I have only thrived to get good grades, but I am sure you people have far more sensible goals in life. Contrary to what people think of me, I am not like a machine that studies 24 hours a day nor a prodigy who finds it a duck soup to get a 100 on their Math tests (I work my butts off on that). And I think I have no more than average IQ. But like you guys, I too need a break from all the derivatives I do everyday. And I do that by playing video games. Only I wish I had someone to play those with or do something more interesting or productive.
Lastly, I am really alone and all by myself but far from any suicidal thinking. Though the feeling that I am extremely underachieved because of my miserable social skills is really spreading exponentially. That's all I wanted to say, and thanks for reading (kudos to you if you actually made it to the end of my boring story). At least, you got to know something about a non-existent person.
