#6797 Maybe it’s because I’m not in the community myself, and I hope I don’t sound like an ignorant twat, but I don’t understand why people along the queer spectrum feel the need to assign terms to themselves and others? There’s gay, bi, lesbian, and trans, as well as others I’m missing and I’m truly sorry for that, but then you branch out further and there are some points on the spectrum that don’t really have an ‘official’ name. People on those points then seem to feel they have to explain their position. I can understand maybe how it might just make it easier to find compatible people or supportive networks, but from what I’ve seen, all the terms just seem to be more divisive than unifying. Instead of looking down on people on a different point in the spectrum than you (for example, bisexuals seem to get so much shit from everybody else), why can’t the community live up to the term “community” and come together?

Thankfully, the world is moving forward for the most part, but it’s still difficult in many places if your identity is anything other than heterosexual. The community should support each other and rise above it, because otherwise, how is (for example) a gay man who endured emotional or even physical violence because of his identity but condemns a transsexual or bisexual any better than his own tormentors? Why would you do that to yourself and others? We have enough divisive qualifiers already, like race, age, religion, and sex. Perhaps with the exception of stereotypes or drag performers, the LGBT community is unique in that appearance-wise, you can’t really tell who’s in the community and who isn’t, as opposed to communities created by race or religion. It just seems silly to me for people to just install another qualifier that further divides them, especially within a community that faces a lot of societal pressure. For me, personally, I don’t care what you identify as; you don’t have to explain to me who you feel you are or who you’re attracted to (assuming they’re all of-age, consenting adults). There are way more important things to be concerning my little head over, like if you’re an overall kind person who donates to homeless people or is a sympathetic shoulder for a friend to cry on.

#6796 To be honest, I can't stand my advisor. He makes me feel like an idiot whenever I talk to him, and basically tells me that I'm wrong about everything, and then proceeds to tell me exactly what I just told him, but just in a different way. I never feel more like an idiot than when I'm forced to go talked to him. That being said, I really have no desire to meet with him did advising. Is advising absolutely mandatory? Or can I sign up without it? I don't want to have to deal with him, and the other advisor in my major hasn't returned my emails.

#6795 so i was looking at the confessions on the input page, and there was a condom ad that consequently ended up on this one! xD

#6794 i just did my Webassign all by myself like a big girl without going to Math Success.

#6793 Not the OP to #6766 but I smoke just as much with a double major (ECON and an LEP - a real one, not COMM)and another BSOS minor. I have a 3.45 GPA and have seen my grades improve every year since my freshman year.

Point is this: GTFOH, commenters saying the OP must take joke classes. Drugs are completely fine if you understand how they work and you can control yourself. If you want to maintain a "clean" lifestyle that's cool but mind your own business instead of being uninformed, judgmental douchecanoes.

#6792 Hey girl from #6767 -- how big are you looking for? I might just have to volunteer as tribute

#6791 It's so hard to have to put yourself through college with no help and on top of that have to help your parents financially and in other ways. Could potentially explain all the C's this semester. Good bye grad school....

#6790 I'm really tempted to let the 3 companies that I'm interviewing for know that I'm also interviewing at 2 other places [ie: to each one the other two], but at the same time I don't want it to come across as "I don't necessarily care about working for you." If only they asked during one of my interviews "Are there any other places that you are currently interviewing at?".
