I absolutely hate the fact that GFU rules treat us like kids. I don't want to sleep with a guy, get drunk, or smoke in my dorm room. All I want is a little privacy and the ability to see friends of the opposite sex past 10:00 pm. This is a little ridiculous. I am very Christian and will be saving myself for marriage. I am responsible and mindful of boundaries. Why does it make sense to so closely monitor us when we have made a promise to God as well as signed the lifestyle agreement? I'm tired of being treated like I am in HS, actually I got a lot more privacy and freedom then. We are adults. We should be trusted, not monitored because they feel that we will break the agreement, and our oath of purity, the first chance we are alone in a room with the opposite sex. I think it would be a lot more enjoyable and more beneficial for the rules to be more relaxed. We aren't going to have someone ruling over us in the real world, its time we got treated like real adults instead of kids.

I think Ashley Allen is one of the most beautiful girls on the face of the planet. She is always so cheerful, beautiful, friendly, and she always looks amazing. I've had a few words with her and I learned that she isn't only pretty, but really smart too! Definition of dream girl right here. Her boyfreind is a really really lucky man.

So.. I'm just a shy girl.. but I've recently noticed one hunk of a man on campus. He happens to be the president of ASC and he's the one of the nicest and most genuine guy I've met. He's in one of my classes and I can't find the courage to talk to him. I hope I get to see him at Spring Formal and I hope I have the courage to dance with him.

The culture at George Fox is strange. While announcements of engagement and marriage are celebrated immensely, academic/career successes seem to go relatively unnoticed, at least on an interpersonal level. As a woman who's in a committed relationship but waiting to marry until I'm 24-26ish, it's disheartening that since I don't have that "I'm engaged!" news, I feel unnoticed. I'm excited to get engaged and married someday, but for now I'd like to be appreciated for my individual successes that have to do with my work ethic and character, rather than a ring on my finger and a wedding date to announce.

I can see myself being with my boyfriend for the rest of my life but the thought of marriage is sorta disgusting. Life partners > married couple.

while most people here are hoping for ring by spring, I am just looking for a one night fling.

I sometimes hide in bushes and watch couples walk by late at night.

I feel like everyone here just ignores me and acts like I don't exist .
