#2479 I wonder if pbr's kids read mac confessions
#2478 I feel very alone at Macalester and feel like I can't talk to people about the things I'm struggling with because they may seem very insignificant and like "first world problems." People are right when they tell me that there's other people who have it way worse than me and to "relax," but I still feel so miserable inside whenever I try to talk to someone about what I'm going through and they just shut me down. I have a lot of feelings of guilt, shame, and selfishness over my problems because I know there is so much other problems going on in the world that are more important than mine. I just wish I was a strong enough person.
#2477 What's going to happen when we all graduate and realize the fact that the world is not like Mac and then we are required to live in a world so different from the standard that Macalester holds itself to and just life in general at Mac? That kinda scares me no lie.
#2476 As a queer woman, I often feel like I'm being deprived of the casual platonic touch that my straight friends give and receive without a second thought. It's incredibly isolating to have your friends be wary of touching you, even though it's subconscious and not intended to hurt me. I'm not perving on you, I just wanna cuddle.
#2475 Fuck Sam Gilbert and his nudes
#2474 I don't think my professors and friends realize how hard it is for me to focus on school when my family is on the verge of losing our house. I'd much rather be out working all day to help keep my family home.
#2473 Realizing that I actually do love and appreciate my parents, rather than saying or thinking so out of obligation
#2472 I feel lonely. I don't have a group of friends like I did in high school anymore. I do everything alone. I'm just sad about my social life
