I’m Lesbian Will My Religious College Roommate Hate Me?


I’m applying to a catholic college because other than the whole religious thing (I’m not religiously affiliated other than I consider myself Buddhist) I love every part of the school! What if my roommate hates me because I’m gay? I know that not all religious people hate gays but what if she does? Should it be expected to have a bigot as a roommate going into this school?

Help Editing My Academic Dismissal Appeal Letter????????????????????????…


I am writing this appeal in reference to the recent letter I received stating that I will be withdrawn from the College of Arts and Sciences due to my poor grades my first semester at ******. It is a large disappointment my family, my roommate whom I have grown so close to, and me to hear this news. I feel as though these grades are not an accurate representation of what I am capable of and I would like to be given a second chance to prove myself. I understand that my withdrawal was chosen due to the fact that I have not earned enough credits and that it is possible that next semester will be the same as the first, but there are several factors which contributed to my failure which have recently changed and cause me to believe that ****** would be the best place to make up the credits I failed to earn.
One major problem in my first semester at ****** is that I overslept for many classes. It appeared my roommate, my family, my professors, and me that I was simply being lazy. I became very frustrated with myself and began to doubt whether I was ready for college or if ****** was right for me. When I did go to class or attempt work, it was very hard to concentrate on the material. I also became severely sick on several different occasions, which caused me to miss weeks of homework and material. When Thanksgiving break had come around, I was warned that my grades were at risk and went to my professors to make up any missed work that I could. By this time, I had lost major confidence in myself and spent the majority of Thanksgiving break oversleeping in my dorm truly doubting my abilities and becoming frustrated while the majority of my peers had gone home to visit their families. I think the biggest impact on my lack of focus was hearing about my father being hospitalized, and I was not able to go home for Thanksgiving break to visit. I think hearing this news did not necessarily benefit me when it came to pulling through finals. I had gotten to the point where I missed so much work that I could barely do any of the make up work or understand the material on my finals.
Since coming home for the first time for winter break, I went to a doctor and blood tests were done that showed that the medication I was put on made me excessively fatigued. I did not realize it at the time but this is what was causing my oversleeping and lack of concentration, and it was not pure laziness. This in turn had made me lose much confidence in my abilities. Since going off the medication, I already feel much better and sleep much less. I believe that this is the biggest factor which impacted me, in addition to adjusting to my new environment, but I do believe it is no one else’s fault but my own for not going to a university doctor about my fatigue or realizing the great impact this medication was having on my brain and motivation. I knew how little work I had turned in and how far behind I was, but for some reason I lacked the will to persevere through these struggles.
To make up the credits that I did not have first semester, I feel as though ****** would be the best location for me to do it in. Going home would be yet another adjustment, and I believe being around my father and his mental illness would be a large distraction and it would make it much more difficult to stay at home and concentrate on work. Although ****** is a long way from home, it is an idyllic place to be in comparison to witnessing my father’s bipolar episodes. It was my last few weeks at ****** where I started to reflect and realize what an amazing school I have been at. It was my last few weeks where I found great study spots around campus, and just as I was beginning to find my niche at ******, the opportunity to continue has, understandably, been taken away from me.
I believe I was accepted into ****** because I am a hardworking and disciplined person, and while my first semester does not reflect this fact, seeing failing grades on my first semester record has made me realize the great impact that my actions, or lack thereof, can cause. If anything, I believe that this past semester has been a bigger motivation to me to excel in my second semester than I would otherwise. I fully understand the decision to withdraw me from the college, and I realize what a blessing it would be to be able to come back. If I were given the opportunity to return, I believe I would feel a greater sense of appreciation and motivation than most people at the school. I do not want to go back solely for my friends and family’s satisfaction or to save face, but because I genuinely believe that I have reflected and learned enough from first semester to go back the second semester and reverse everything that I did wrong.

Is It Reasonable To Have Male Visitor Restrictions?


In female student housing either affiliated with campus or private and off-campus settings, is it reasonable for housing authorities, private landlords, or even residents to impose rules restricting male visitors from staying in the place of residence?
I ask this because I am a female student living off-campus. I had a roommate who backed out of a lease because she wanted her boyfriend to be able to sleep over.
For you as an American, is it strange or not so uncommon if people have visitor restrictions like these?

How To Deal With Someone Trying To Ruin My Life?


A while back I moved from Wyoming to Oregon for a job. I don’t have any family in the area and no friends. I became friends with a coworker and thought things were looking up. We would go see movies and just hang out. She went through some tough stuff and I was there for her. I helped her pay bills and took her out when it was a particularly had day and would stay with her at night until her roommate was home because she was lonely and scared. About a couple of months back my life took a turn for the worse and all of a sudden she didn’t talk to me. I was worried and would call once a day and text her. Finally I asked her what was wrong and she told me that I needed to learn to back off. So i did. i was pissed and found out that she only wanted me to be there for her and not the other way around. I was even more mad. but I avoided her like the plague. Suddenly i was getting shifted to other units and one day went to the union to find out what was going on. The cops were there and questioned me on a bunch of stuff that I never did. I was served about a week later with a temporary restraining order. I still had no idea what the heck was going on. I was told by a supervisor that I needed to get rid of the job quick because the upper management was going after me and my license ( I am a nurse). Still no idea what was going on and why this was happening. Now I am homeless and jobless living off my aunt because I can’t find work and she is taking me to court for stalking when I left the area got rid of Facebook and deleted her and anyone affiliated with her number off my phone. I don’t know what to do. How do I deal with this?

Does This Sound Like A Good Living Situation To You? For College?


My living situation sucks. i live across the hall from my ex boyfriend and no one lives in this building?
Im a college freshman. I go to school in chicago. I live 20 minutes from the main campus by subway in this university affiliated housing that no one lives in. There are about 2000 students who live in this 18 story building, but it consists of like 4 colleges, and no students interact with people from other colleges because you dont know who is from what college. Its very very antisocial here. No interaction at all really. There are only like 30 kids from my entire college in this building. Its weird. On my floor there is a wing for kids from my college, and there are about 17 of us. They are all video gaming guys. I am one of the only girls, besides my suitemates (one is a big partier and tried to have sex with my ex boyfriend, so clearly i dont interact with her. Shes mean too, and really annoying, and she never talks to me. Then there is my other suitemate who is nice but i dont hang out with her because she is gone a lot from her dorm and always busy)
So really, im the only girl who is ever there in the dorms. I dont mind being the only girl, its just that all the guys are all like one big clique. My ex boyfriend lives right across the hall from me and is like the most popular guy in this wing now. None of the people here talk to me, because of what happened between me and Mike. Once Mike and I broke up, they stopped talking to me. Its really awkward leaving my dorm room and seeing one of them in the hallway because they just see me as his ex girlfriend….and its really awkward because Mike snickers to his friends when he sees me.
I have two months of school left. I dont think im coming back to this college next year. I think im going back home to the east coast next year. But how can i survive the rest of this year? Its so lonely and isolating here. I dont have a roommate anymore. In general, this building is just really anti-social. We arent even allowed to keep our doors open ever. We have to keep them shut at all times.
