I parked in Glen parking lot for 4 days straight without permit as i was working on campus and living there while working. come back and see that ive racked up almost $300 in tickets. i lived in towson freshman housing last year so never had to park, this was my first time parking on campus and stupidly thought i would be fine wi though a permit since it’s summer and the lots are empty anyways. i now recognize my mistake but i quite literally can not pay for this - is it worth it to appeal? this is my first, or rather my first set of parking tickets. i dont expect it to totally go away, but at least getting it somewhat reduced would be a massive help. Is towson known to be lenient on this?

I’ve been really frustrated lately because I can’t reconcile the positive messaging I get from women with the total lack of attention i get from men. im no model, but objectively, i know looks are not my biggest problem. i clean up pretty nicely since i lost weight, started doing makeup and dressing well. i get compliments pretty often from women, but am essentially invisible to men. Ive never even had a guy express interest in me let alone dated or fooled around. but then again i am also black with no boobs or ass so maybe that is why. I dont believe in “intimidating beauty” but I am started to believe in “girl pretty” and “boy pretty” - the idea that someone’s looks can appeal more to women than to men

somehow managed to get through my freshman year of college without so much as a kiss. It’s said that people are lonelier than ever, but I am not really seeing it. it honestly felt like most guys I met were already taken or interested in someone else.

I am so confused about what my sexuality is. I believe i am a straight woman, but i rarely find men attractive, but have only ever been romantically interested in men. Otoh, I have never ever had a crush on a woman, nor can i see myself getting into a relationship or having sex with another woman, but I find virtually all women my age physically attractive to some degree

To complicate things more, I don’t really care for penises and am frightened by the idea of sex with a man.

as a woman who loves beautiful dresses, if you’re a woman basically the only times in your life its acceptable to wear an extravagant dress or ballgown to is your prom and your wedding. i work in a boutique surrounded by absolutely gorgeous dresses and feel bummed that even if I could afford them, I’d have no where to wear them to. what kind of events outside of the ones I listed above can you wear formal clothes and where can you find them?

a running joke among black people is that one of the benefits of going to a predominantly white school or other institution is that you can go outside with your hair looking crazy and nobody will notice or care. I don’t really know what bad hair looks like on white people, like when they say their hair looks greasy, or that someone is a box blond, i never really understand what thats supposed to look like or why it looks bad. does it work the other way around? can white people tell when a black persons hair looks to old/fake/crazy/whatever? or do they notice but not comment?
