#7267 A handful of years ago, when I was younger and less knowledgeable about the world, I was strong. The strongest I have ever been and fear I ever will be again. My walls were fierce, my determination a great force, my heart hard, yet my words somehow stayed soft. Then I left home and came to school and somehow I find myself weakening with each worldly exposure. Why? There’s a point to letting people in- it truly does bring enjoyment and everlasting fulfillment. But where is that strong, confident person I used to know? Shouldn’t we grow stronger, like a tree- the roots of our experiences deepening in the soil of our lives? Now I stumble trying to dodge the rubble of my own walls that tumble towards me. Is this maturity? Is this wisdom? Humility? I’ve come to care too much, love too deeply, and hope too easily…

But do I embrace it or fight it?

#7266 So I got a wrong text message from someone named Morgan, and I presume you go to Purdue because of the 765 number; I just want to thank you for the kindest handling of a wrong number text and I hope you find those throat lozenges.

#7265 I saw this girl today in front of the union. She was really tall and and so incredibly beautiful. Dark blue jeans, ugh boots and a fake fur hooded coat. She was about an inch taller than me, and I'm 6'1. We got on the same bus and I sat in front of her. She smiled at me and I really wish I had said hello.

#7264 I work at one of the resident halls and today I had a beautiful girl come up and ask be where to find a certain office. After explaining it was closed and blah blah blah she said thanks and bye, I just wished I had asked for her number or something so I could see her again. So if you are her and you are reading this please come by and say hi again, I would really like to get to know you.

#7263 I actually want to take a girl out on Valentines Day this year. I'd take her wherever she wanted and do whatever she liked. My only problem is every girl I've messaged or talked to hasn't really been interested.

#7262 It's been only a week and I'm already struggling in Physics 172. I mean, come on, an 85 and 49 point assignment due in one night?

#7261 I saw this guy at commencement working for the Purdue Student Security Patrol, I think your name is Ryan? You should know that you are extremely attractive.

#7260 A lot of females say they love a man in uniform, which hey that's awesome. I just realized tonight that I love a woman in uniform. There were a few ladies dressed tonight at Ford. They were gorgeous! Not to mention 10 times braver than me. I salute you ladies of the ROTC
