as the song reaches its climax. That’s the only reason needed to justify this song’s placement on this list. On the flip side of the coin, if you are the LGBT roommate, please do not feel forced to come out at all. If you do decide to, make sure it is safe and it is what you want. Finally, seek out a community and resources to help support you through your college experience. In the spirit of lesbian camp bonding, I told my new crew about my situation — nonmonogamous, not sure how to feel about it — which seemed to pique the interest of beer bathing suit girl, because she would soon afterward follow me into the impossibly tiny bathroom, bursting in on me mid-pee.

Unlike the other confessions on this list, this one is a little different because according to this woman, she hasn’t acted on her desires to experiment yet; but she definitely wants to! This woman claims she wants to experience what it would be like to hook up with other women while in college, but she’s just a little confused about how to go about the whole thing.

A Moment in the Reeds (2017)

So when people make comments about living with someone that is lesbian or gay, I take those moments to my advantage. Instead of blowing it off and saying something like, “yeah, it was interesting.” I take the time to actually educate some people. I tell them that she is just like me, we are best friends, and I would not change my freshman year in college for a second. But most importantly, I tell them that I learned so much about another person and that I grew from all of it. The first snowflake means that life is about to slow down, and settle into a calmer pace. After all, who can be out and about so much when the roads are sketchy? The first snowflake means that there is no chance for Summer to rear it’s out of season head and cause uncomfortable humidity and heat. The first snowflake means the earth gets a break. The first snowflake means future quiet evenings with a good book in front of the fire. The first snowflake means that while the plants are sleeping, the moisture has a chance to soak in and create the ability for rebirth in the Spring. The first snowflake means beauty as the brown, dead fields are covered with pristine white. While I do enjoy all seasons for their uniqueness and differences, I love winter. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I was born in the winter. I don’t know. I just know that when the dew point drops, the air dries out, and that smell! Is there any name for the smell just before it snows? I once posed that question to my husband who promptly answered: “It’s the de-icer I just put down on the walkway”. I learned so much more from Erin than I ever expected to in my entire life. Of course, your friends teach you a lot. Especially when you live with them. But they teach you a lot more when they face something every day that you do not quite understand. In this situation, I do not understand what Erin has to go through as a lesbian, or a homosexual. Before I left, I talked to a few of my reporter friends about it, just in case a hookup opportunity should present itself and I decided to partake for, um, research purposes . We decided that my Olivia story fell in some sort of weird journalistic in-between, just like my own job does. I sometimes do reporting, but I’m not strictly a reporter; I’m a writer, editor, and cultural critic. Plus, I wasn’t assigned this story to go and passively report out what everybody else was doing on the cruise; I was supposed to immerse myself in the experience (while, of course, disclosing to anyone I spoke with that I was writing about the trip). And the thing a lot of women on the cruise were looking to experience was, yes, getting laid.

I would move into a house with some friends in Brooklyn, where a room had just magically opened up. There’d be a dog, and a yard. It would feel like a sign. (I’d start getting really into signs.) It is hard to do life alone, especially in college. For that reason, I would recommend that you seek out a community. Your community will be a source of support and encouragement for you. They will remind you that even though you might feel alone, you are not. There are many other college students going through the same thing you are. You will be able to offer your support to them, too. It will be a great way to make friends! It just happened. Sounds like a cliché, but I never imagined that I would share a shower with my best friend. And it was weird because we were both girls, young and impressionable, who were still pursuing their dreams and education to become a doctor.People use college as a time to experiment. It’s a well-known but also an overly-exaggerated thing, especially if it involves two young and attractive women (bonus points for them being in a fraternity or on a cheerleading team, apparently).

It is so much fun get to see everyone with their families and dressed in Halloween costumes. 8. The types of candy and food that are popular during Halloween time are candy corn, caramel apples and many other fun foods. Remember that the room is just as much yours as it is theirs, and you have the right to feel comfortable in your own living space. Don’t be afraid of your roommate’s questions This woman revealed that her college experimentation had a literal meaning because the woman who she had a relationship with was not only her roommate, but also her lab partner — so they were doing both scientific experiments as well as sexual ones together. Got it! To me, Olivia was getting the chance to spend an afternoon with a 73-year-old who’d worked for 11 years as a bartender at my favorite lesbian bar in Brooklyn. Olivia was hearing an American explain U-Haul jokes to a confused, elderly Australian woman. Olivia was my long talk with Lynette about anti-trans feminism in the UK, and being impressed with her easy command of they/them pronouns — yet again proving my worries about older lesbians wrong. This woman is not able to admit to her mother, who she calls “homophobic”, the way that she really feels about other women. It seems that she likes the same gender a lot more than her mother knows.

U: Unique Casseroles

Per the rules of our loose nonmonogamous agreement, I FaceTimed with my partner about what was happening on the cruise, first telling them about the catamaran girl and then, in so many words, about Lynette. I suspected, even early on, that I was about to break our most important rule of all: Don’t fall in love with anybody else. I settle for some Kelly Clarkson, and after my screechy but enthusiastic rendition of “Since U Been Gone,” five (!) different women approach me, complimenting my performance. One of them tells me her friend thinks I’m really cute, and could she buy me a drink? But we were not prepared for what followed. Next day as we reached college, we knew something was different. Did people stare at us for a little longer than necessary? Did the girls stopped talking when we reached the stuffy common room? We had no idea. So I’m surprised to say I might actually travel with Olivia again, skeptical as I remain of cruise ethics in general. And that’s because of all the things that happened in the eight days I spent aboard the Summit — things I wasn’t remotely expecting. On a humid July afternoon, months after that conversation, we were watching a movie together. It was one of those days when you skip classes because it’s so hot that you don’t dare to step outside. I always took a bath before having lunch, and I was preparing to go to the bathroom when she asked me nonchalantly, “Do you still want to draw me?”
