Most people here probably don't know who I am, so please feel free to pass this over. I'm just saying goodbye, and thanks to all those who helped me out in the form of advice or kindness in the past couple months. I'm truly grateful for everyone who has been kind and friendly to me on these...

actually the professor in question is far right in political views. my school's not religious, just a regular liberal arts college :shrug

I'm not saying I've never said a mean word in my life, but it really unsettles me when people make sweeping statements (of a derogatory nature) about different religious beliefs or denominations other than their own, or just about religion in general. It seems that there are more constructive...

i think it's useful to remember that the movie Mean Girls was just that, a movie, and most of the people who are mean to me are guys actually :gah

not really. actually, i'm being insulted right now for not ascribing to christian beliefs (not by anyone on this forum, mind you! :lol )

ok. i didn't understand, since 'interesting' is a vague adjective; although i used it myself in one of my prior posts, and use it all the time in every day speech. :lol

interesting? ok, i guess? :shrug

i guess the fact that i'm double majoring makes the work load heavier than it normally would be? i'm not sure? this is actually interesting because, where I go to school, you get treated like trash if you're NOT a christian (and no it's not a religious university--it's just in an area where...

What type of Asian cuisine do you all like best? Chinese,Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc? My favorite used to be Chinese food, but about a year ago I tried some Japanese food, beef with spicy peanut sauce, and I've been hooked to Japanese cuisine ever since!

thanks for the offer but i think not; sorry. i've just been burned by christians (not on this board-in real life) too many times to trust anyone at all. it's nothing personal.

i honestly don't believe in the efficacy of prayer anymore, so i feel like it would be pure hypocrisy and wrong of me to start a thread in 'prayer requests.' i can't go into detail as to why i feel left out. that wouldn't be too prudent, as anyone can read these boards. i will simply say, it's...

your welcome. i hesitate to usurp your thread with my own concerns,so i will do my best to answer in brief: i've been ostracized by my christian friends, and the youth pastor is forever infuriated with me and avoids speaking to me. i realize people are not God. i don't expect them to be. at...

actually, i live in the states and I've known some of the most rigorous, top-of-class students to take GAP years to travel the globe. although, my experience doesn't necessarily expand to the rest of the U.S. ;) nick29, no hard feelings about the florist business. i've never been too good...

i've declared atheism once or twice to christian people I know and it was something that lasted but a few days. Although, being twenty, I've somewhat forgotten how difficult it is to be thirteen (although there are still vestiges of those very tough days, probably a lot fresher now than they...

does anyone else love the color pink (or purple)?

I was inspired by a post in a thread in the College Age forum, and decided to open this topic to praise all the wonderful, inspirational women in our lives (mothers, aunts, grandmothers, step-mothers, older and younger sisters, nieces, cousins, friends, etc.) I haven't checked to see if there's...

my mom and grandmother are Catholics so this slightly offends me, but not really, because my mom is such a gentle, loving and beautiful person with a heart that overflows with compassion and understanding. if she wasn't in bed sleeping, i'd go hug her right now :yes as for my grandmother...

what is people's take on this? i don't mean general preaching of the word in public...i mean...aggressive preaching... people will stand on benches on my campus and scream things out at crowds of students, who scream things in response angrily, and the scream-fest gets really scary, so that i...

what is more insane about college, in everyone's opinions.. the work load, OR the people who treat you like garbage? or both? i for one was hoping it would be different in college...that people wouldn't treat you like trash as much as in high school..but it's really not much different...

i guess you didn't like my suggestion of being a florist? :crying :lol in all seriousness...your plan sounds great. as long as your heart's in it, it will turn into something amazing.
