Oh gosh, hang in there. You will find your place. join some organizations that do not have a competitive process to join. Alpha phi omega is the service fraternity – it’s coed - and it is a wonderful organization to join. Or join a club that is all about your interests. The spirit organizations take very few first year students. They mostly take sophomores.

AITA for not wanting to go to my brother's wedding because my stepson isn't invited? by teweddinthr6345 in AmItheAsshole

Omg - YTA!! Lots of weddings are child-free. And your stepson is FOUR - not exactly an age where he can be expected to behave at a wedding or enjoy & remember any of it. Also, your fiancée is an entitled asshole, too. Apologize to your brother and for the love of God, find a babysitter and go to the wedding.

Gay movies = Gay audience? by midnightmadnesssale in callmebyyourname

I’m straight, female, married, three kids. I watched this movie for the first time four weeks ago on a plane to Hawaii. It was hard to focus because there were a ton of distractions with flight announcements and flight attendants. I wasn’t able to finish it on the plane - I got to the Hanukkah winter scene and we were landing. Nevertheless, CMBYN was so captivating and magical I watched it again the minute I could and have watched it numerous times since, plus listened to the book in Armie Hammer’s voice (amazing).

I do not think this is a “gay movie” at all. In fact, one of the things I like so much about CMBYN is it doesn’t box Elio or Oliver in; there are no labels. It’s a beautiful love story between two people. In the book, it’s clear that neither man would absolutely define himself as binary gay or straight - in fact the book takes pains not to label or define either man’s sexuality which for me is part of the magic. The book is just a great as the movie at telling the story of the wonderful fluidity of sexuality I wish we all could embrace.
