#11715 I had a boyfriend back home all freshman year. When I got back from Purdue for the summer he broke up with me. He said he knew his decision for weeks and that he just didn't want me to fail my finals. He said he just wasn't happy anymore. The sad thing is, I would take him back in a heartbeat because I want to make it work. I feel like we were just going through a rough patch and that we could have worked it out. I don't want to be the girl that waits but I know it is going to take a lot to get over it. What should I do?

#11713 I like this girl but it seems as though she doesn't like me... at least not anymore. But even then I'm glad I was able to hold her in my arms. I just wish I knew why she's not talking to me anymore. This year has gone by too fast.

#11711 Dear Potatoes,

Thank you for falling into my trap. Do I eat you now, or ferment you for later?

Sincerely,
The Irishman

#11710 I see many girls and guys who are sad with their relationships. And here I am single 'cos no girl would date a guy of my race.

#11709 Randy Bultema tho <3 Hot damn I wish you were single...

#11708 I've always liked guys without much body hair. My current and first boyfriend has more body hair than I ever imagined and its awesome! If your guy lacks chest hair, you're missing out.

#11707 This should go to the top of the page. For those of you who are unhappy for whatever reason this will help you if you just read. Take this advise that a friend once gave me and don't look back. If you want to truly be happy, you have to stop trying to impress those around you. Stop analyzing your faults. Do what makes you happy, and don't give a damn about what the next person thinks. They are just a person just like you. No more. No less. It is your life and you only have one. You don't have time to worry about what others think of you and you don't have time to put yourself down. You do you. Do what makes you happy. Take chances. Don't live w regrets. And always remember you can't change the past. You have control of your outcome and only you can change your life for the better. If you are not living your life with the purpose of making YOURSELF happy then....you will not be happy. You get one shot. Be yourself. No matter how different you may think you are. And always trust your instincts. They are there for a reason.
Long message but a simple one. It works. Hope this helps someone.

#11706 I wish the great, open-minded people of Purdue confessions realized that labels were bad. Unfortunately, we were raised to see clear cut examples and stereotypes no one could sway from. We could talk about racism, socio-economic class, or dare I say religion? But lets not, this is College! Let's talk about sexual preference! For your reading pleasure:

And even a diagram because words can be hard!

That being said, even in the gay community labels are getting out of hand.

Now that "the gays" are taking over the alphabet, everyone is getting a label! This needs to stop on both sides. The support is great, don't get me wrong, but how many letters must we add so we can all just be people again?

Thank you to those who made it past the first three lines, now go out, smile, and try something new! ;)
