#3643 I don't know if I'm over my ex but I know things will never work out between us.

#3642 Its hard to create study groups here.

#3641 Referring to 3627: Don't worry I'm in the same boat I have no idea what to do that weekend either. Maybe I don't have to feel embarrassed about that either

#3640 Having and then losing a girlfriend after a long term relationship has ruined my life. Some days I'm convinced that, had I been a different person with different skills/abilities/traits, I would still have her; she wouldn't have been forced to end our relationship. So on those days, I'm convinced that I am inadequate, which of course grows and expands to "I am generally inadequate and therefore future relationships will be just as ill-fated and painful" because that's how my brain works. ... But I have better days, or better moments within days, where I remember that I'm pretty cool and I do neat things and have skills, and for a split second, I might be impressed with myself and I might even love and appreciate myself again. But then, a voice in my brain says "What good are these neat things about you if you have no one to share them with? What is the use of being smart or talented if no one knows about it but you? What good are you if NO ONE APPRECIATES YOU and no one shares in your triumphs and no one shares in your successes and your life and all that is good or bad about it empty because you have NO ONE TO SHARE IT WITH ANYMORE." ... These are thoughts that actually happen during my day. These are reasons why I have trouble smiling.

Also, if anyone on here comments that I should "go to the counseling center" or "seek professional help" I'm inclined to politely tell you, first and foremost, that any 'help' service on campus absolutely eats dick and is a waste of time. Of course I've tried them; I've tried help on campus and off-campus. Slowly I'm trying every single type of help that exists....so far nothing has aided me

#3639 I have a crush on a really beautiful girl. We havent had a conversation yet, but we had a small talk when i told her i thought she was very pretty. But now i dont have the courage to keep talking to her again because i feel im not attractive enough for her, but we keep seeing each other because of mutual friends... any advices?

#3638 I think that not knowing what you want to do (not knowing your major yet, not knowing what your dream in life is, whether or not you want chocolate or vanilla) can do a lot of damage unto others than to yourself. I'm not looking down on undecided majors because most of the time, they're really trying to figure out what they really want to do, but if you stay in that "I don't know" (about everything) phase forever, then you're hurting the people who pay for your tuition (unless you're paying yourself), your friends, your relationships, and yourself. It's not the decisions that you make that hurt people, it's the decisions you DON'T make that also hurt yourself. I'm just tired of people saying "I don't know what I want". We're at the peaks of our lives! We're young and can party all we want and are getting an education, but this only lasts for a short time.

#3637 I spend most of my nights in empty campus buildings. It's really great to have a building all to yourself. (Or mostly to yourself.) I get to work on little projects, break out into dance numbers(Footloose'd it up in the armory yesterday,) and climb/ride things that should probably not be climbed/ridden, carefully.

#3636 I feel so alone. And no. I don't need to go to the health center or talk about it. I just need to get out if this schoolb or college park at the very least, but nope I don't have a car, I don't have a job that can pay for metro and I don't have friends with cars, oh and I have to be at this school for another year. Lovely. I just don't understand what happened to Lenin the last for years here it's like I keep falling deeper into this hole with each year that passes, I used to be so happy.
