"So this girl and I had been together for a while. We were together almost everyday; we went to classes together, went to dinner together, etc. In fact, it was after class one day that we met in the hall. We always had a bit of a spicy relationship, but other times she was really cool. Anyway, so a week ago we went back to my dorm room one night to hang out, but my roommate was there and it got kind of awkward (he'd had a chip on his shoulder towards me lately). We just sat together for a while without talking while he worked on something on his laptop. I went to the vending machine to get something to drink, but when I got back I found my roommate eating my girlfriend, RIGHT THERE AT HIS DESK. Seriously, what kind of a roommate is that? The door was open when I walked in and saw them so I just walked away and left. I mean, I was in love; how was I supposed to feel? After a few hours of sulking I went back and the bag was empty. Girlfriend was Doritos the whole time."

"I made friends with this girl last semester; we got really close really fast. Now she seems to have drifted to another friend group, and I'm fine with that except for the fact that it totally leaves me out. On top of that, half the time she's really friendly towards me and says we need to "catch up", but the other half of the time she flat-out ignores me. I'm just like that puppy that keeps going back at the slightest sign of good attention, but I think that I should just let it go and give up on salvaging our friendship."

"Even though I'm surrounded by people that seem to care about and like me, I've never felt more alone. The people who were once my closest friends feel like they're drifting further and further away, and I don't know how to stop them. And even though lots of people come to me for help with their problems, I just put on a happy face and pretend I don't have any. I used to feel loved and at home here, but that feeling is fading."

"When I came here I had stupid crushes, a new one every few weeks, I was so eager to fall in love. Then I got fed up with how stupid I was acting and decided to do cool things, to improve myself. If I make myself an interesting person, the right guy will come along, right? I'm loving the things I'm involved with and the direction of my life, and most of the time I'm fine, but every so often I see a couple kissing or holding hands, and it will just hit me how lonely I am. All the friends and fun times in the world can't stop me from feeling ugly and unlovable in that moment."
