I really admire East Asian culture. From Japan which transformed from a medieval feudal state, to an industrial superpower in a matter of decades, to Korea and China which are going through their own industrialization, Asian countries just seem to be able to accomplish things with such single minded determination. Sure, Asian societies are pretty oppressive compared to the west, but success is about discipline. I have never met a successful person who had a weak will. It might not be suitable to compare Asian countries to the West since they have very different demographics, but as a parable for personal accomplishment, Asian culture has a lot to teach us.

I'm an off-campus terp, so by default, I already have a hard time meeting people and making friends, but in addition to that, I'm an introvert and have a hard time thinking of anything interesting to say when trying to talk to people. I'm very academically driven with a high GPA, although I have no problem with becoming inebriated in any sense of the word, and yet I've still only made maybe 5 friends this entire year. I feel as though since I'm not on-campus, I'm just an outsider that never gets to be part of the in-group. And the few friends I have been able to make seem to solely be drawn to me so that I can help them with school rather than any personal quality or trait I possess, as I can count the number of times I've done anything non-academic with these people on one hand. I haven't even had a real conversation with my roommate in weeks since he's either out with his frat brothers or high and I'm usually left in the dust. Am I that socially inept that I'm just seen as 'that smart guy' rather than a potential friend?

In the words of dwight schrute, where is the clitoris?

It seems to me that all the dating-material girls can be found at CSPAC, or somewhere around there.

This guy and I text back and forth everyday. The first time I met him I couldn't help but hug him. I never thought I'd get to be close to such a genuine guy who appreciates the outdoors just as much as I do...He says he's not ready to be in a relationship again because of his crappy ex girlfriends.
and I understand that...but I'm scared. Scared that once we get close, he'll realize he can't handle how emotionally..fucked I am. How do I get rid of this fear?

girls that cock-tease, that's that shit I don't like!

I don't go to this school. In fact, I'm well over 2 thousand miles from you guys and I have never even seen y'alls school, but maaan the Internet connects us all
