I have a crush on Provost Jensen
Is there a recreational running club at Hamline? Lately I've been curious. If not, who would be interested in being part of one?
Is Kyle Johnson seeing anyone?
My boyfriend knows that I was sexually abused as a child, but I'm afraid to tell him who by. I tell very few people who did it, because that person is a member of my immediate family and I still have a lot of contact with them (I have forgiven them). I know it would help explain the complicated nature of my relationship with that person if I told my boyfriend, but I'm afraid to. Not because I think he would judge me (which is my fear with a lot of people) but because we haven't been dating that long, and I don't want to freak him out with all my drama. I'm afraid it'll be too much, and he'll see what a mess I am and all the baggage I have and just run.
To the girl who shows up 20 minutes late to every class we have had so far, do you even realize how rude and inconciderste you are being? We are halfway through the semester and you still show up late. Maybe you should try waking up 20 minutes earlier..?
In the course of the past year I have starved twice with a duration passing three days. It is not because I was refusing to seek employment, during one bout I was actually employed. Just curious to know how many others have experienced this on Hamline campus and curious for suggestions on how to take actions which would prevent this for students in the future.
I tolerate kids, but I don't like them. I see them as small, ignorant puritanical human beings. They can't drink, can't smoke, swear, have sex, or do drugs. They like shitty music, and shitty shows. They don't know jack squat about the world. I can't relate to them at all. The most awkward scene is me with a child. I know some people will say "it's not fair, you're expecting them to be adults." Well I guess my standard for what makes an interesting person is what an adult is. I don't blame kids for being the way they are, just keep them away from me.
I'm posting this because I am genuinely seeking advice from the Hamline community. I'm white, my boyfriend is black and he doesn't go to Hamline. My parents are racist and I am freaking out that they will be meeting him soon. I doubt my parents will be disrespectful to his face, but I know they won't approve of him. They don't like the idea of me having a serious boyfriend to begin with, and because he is black the cards are really stacked against us. I also haven't told my parents yet that he's black. Has anyone out there been in an interracial relationship and had to deal with racist parents? I don't even know how to begin talking to them about it. I know that it will be easier to talk to my boyfriend about it because of how close we are, but it will still be a difficult conversation and I don't want to say anything that would hurt him either. People can say "oh they're your parents and they love you so they should support you." My relationship with my parents has never worked like that, but regardless they're my parents and they will always be a big part of my life. I'm open to talking points or any advice really.
