Being home for the holidays confirms the following:
I can't stand the people I went to high school with- even more than when we were all in the same building.
My mother is even more senile, psychotic, and suffocating than last time I was home.
My siblings are only here momentarily, when they're the only ones I wanted to see this holiday anyway.
Getting shitfaced to avoid family (mother), seems like the only viable option to keep semi-sane this holiday season.
I am so alone. It feels even worse because my cheating ex-boyfriend took whatever self-esteem I had mustered up, with him.. as well as my confidence that someone won't cheat on me, since I never saw this coming.
I am officially one of those people who HATES the holidays. and my life a little bit.

I'm a junior and 20 years old (girl) and I want to date this 32 year old guy... We have this awesome connection and I love talking to him and spending time with him... What do people think about the age difference? (12 years...)

I lost my best friend because of the biggest mistake I ever made. If I could go back in time and prevent all this pain I caused you, I would in a heartbeat.

i miss you all

So I was at Texas roadhouse with a couple of my friends waiting for my check when the waiter told me mine was paid for. She told me who it was and it turned out to be one of the cutest guys I've seen in eau Claire... I've never had this happen to me! I was so excited and nervous I didn't know what to do. I went to say thanks and introduce myself but I felt like I was making things awkward so I left. Should I have gave you my number? I hope I see you again and I get a second chance

I seriously don't understand what I'm doing wrong. My entire life, I've struggled to maintain friendships, but lately, it feels like I have to face everything alone. In high school, my dream was to go to prom with an actual date. That never happened. I've never so much as held hands with a guy. I honestly try to be genuinely nice to everyone. I was always the girl who would go sit with the one person sitting alone because I felt bad. Unfortunately, when I had to sit alone once, this was not reciprocated. I literally did everything for my "friends," but I can't help feel that I've been taken advantage of in so many ways. Part of me wonders if it's my appearance that drives people away from me, but I've never imagined myself as hideous. I know I'm not the prettiest girl out there, but I don't feel like I'm the homeliest person on the planet either. Maybe it's because I'm reserved and quiet?

I'm a Christian and I'm really starting to lose hope in meeting a man in Eau Claire who shares that with me. So sometimes when I'm having a bad day, I go to Caribou and hope that a stranger will see me reading there and start a conversation. So don't be scared to approach a girl you don't know... Sometimes it's the push we need.

I am going to be a senior next year an feel like I haven't had the greatest experiences with clubs or organizations. The ones I've been apart of have mostly fallen apart or aren't very fun. What do you suggest to join next year? It can be anything really. Maybe marching band? Or pep band?
