I get gassy when I work out and when I'm at the LC I always let out silent farts. Went today for the first time without earbuds. They are not silent :(.
I don't like drinking, but I wish my friends realized that doesn't mean I don't want to go out and have a good time with them.
I wish Macalester students on the whole cared more about classism and how it affects students here
I've had moments when I thought I wanted to transfer, but then I realize I'm not intelligent enough for some other college/university would accept me with a financial aid package better than Mac's. Therefore, I'm stuck here feeling like shit every single day
I feel like as a PoC I constantly feel inferior to some people here who make it seem like they're heroes and saviors for talking about oppression and other PoC issues. I sometimes just hate this campus, because I just constantly feel like I'm only here so that Macalester can say that it's an accepting institution or I'm only some white person's friend so that they can call themselves an open minded liberal.
I'm drunk and I love classical music.
For people to come at athletes as an entire group is absurd. Athletes are trained to handle adversity from competition, coaches yelling at them, and internal dilemmas on the team. They are not coddled. So if they "like" a post on mac confessions, it might be a good point that this individual agrees with. Don't try and demonize the athlete culture when you don't understand the mental fortitude you must have to be a part of it. So, until you are a college athlete, don't act like you understand how difficult it is to take a full, rigorous Macalester course load, be in peak physical condition, dedicate 15-20 hours a week to athletics, and still have time to be a social justice warrior.
