"I am struggling with my faith. I am supposed to be a leader in the Christian community but all I want to do is against my faith. Sometimes I doubt if I believe in Christ anymore and it scares me. I am afraid of life after death and life before birth."

"My mom still thinks I am a virgin... I have had sex with 3 different people. Talk about awkward if she finds my birth control while I am home..."

"I feel sick to my stomach now with worries about my academics and relationships... I feel like I can't move, I've been messing up so much lately. Is mentalhealth open during the summer? I don't know what to do and I feel so alone. "

"Many of you might know who I am.
There is no easy way to put this, but I will have to leave MIT for a year. I feel like I’ve let everyone down, but now I need to think about myself and do what is best for me. It makes me sad that I'm leaving during the summer, so I won't have the opportunity to say goodbye to all those who I was close to.
A year ago, I couldn't believe how I even managed to get into an institution like MIT. The feeling of disbelief stayed with me throughout the year. How could it be that such a wonderful university would want someone like me? How lucky I was to constantly be around the most amazing and humble people in the world, all while having a beautiful city just a 5 minute walk away. When I walked across the bridge, I’d sometimes stop and think about how grateful I am to have the opportunity to be here. An incredible city, world-class faculty, some of the best networking opportunities in the world; all in one place.
Today, it’s all slipping away from me. For all those who come to this magical paradise on Earth, remember how lucky you are, and take advantage of it. Be the best you can be. Own this place. You belong here.
I will miss all my friends terribly. To my fraternity brothers: I wish that I could spend my undergrad years with you guys, though I have faith that you will all go far and be very successful. I’ll also miss the people I met from neighboring colleges, such as Harvard, Northeastern, BU, and especially Wellesley, where I met the women that would end up being some of my best friends. You’re all amazing.
Life goes by fast, but sometimes it goes by faster than what you might expect. Make the most out of your time here. To the MIT community, thank you for all that you have taught me, and the support you have given me.
MIT, I love you. I hope to see you once again in the future."

"I'm tempted to try and hack this site...but that's beside the point. I feel bad in group projects because I'm happy with a B, but someone always wants an A."
