Yeah, I replied to someone else — my childhood was a bummer, but adulthood is really working out for me. An unhappy childhood is not a life sentence for unhappiness :-)

Yeeeeeah my childhood was kind of a bummer. But adulthood has been awesome so far!

I started purging when I was 4 and did not receive treatment until I sought it myself 14 years later at 18, at which time I was diagnosed with anorexia. For years, once the behaviors were gone, I was "in recovery" . . . but now, I am recovered. It's hard, HARD work, but it can happen.

I don't want to ruin the ending but the last page, Unspecified mental disorder (nonpsychotic), is really unexpected!

As a white feminist, that stings, and I know you're right :-(

This other homegirl's got nothin on Kristen.

He was suspended.

He has been suspended.

So Northeastern is a magical place with no rape culture? No sexual violence? Yeah, right.

The offending student can be punished regardless per the Boston College Community Standards:

To be fair, our football team has been making a "contribution to campus life" here and there in recent years as well.

That's too bad :-( I attended BC undergrad, and once I found a good group of friends, I didn't feel at all left out. I never did the rando hookup thing, almost never Plexed or went to parties or football games . . . I'm a huge feminist, too. I obviously had issues with the administration, but overall, I have faith in…

Well, BC prides itself on attracting a lot of really well-rounded students . . . at orientation, some administrator or another asked, "Who here was captain of a varsity sports team?" and most of the hands were raised. Then they asked, "And who here was the president of a club or another student organization?" and…

BC doesn't exactly do a great job of integrating transfer students into the greater BC community, either.

Sucks to BU!

BC does not have Greek life, actually — part of the Jesuit thing. And because BC is Jesuit specifically, it is actually a very social justice-oriented place; there is a lot of emphasis on reflection and service. Also, BC is hosting a symposium on women in the Church next month.

Many of the grey comments here are pretty rough, too :-/

Yeah . . . but would you seriously want to be on the T surrounded by Bostonians who had not had their Dunks?!? I cannot even imagine what that would be like.

Of course he is — he's just a Jesuit! St. Iggy was a total baller, and it's refreshing, but not a surprise, that our first Jesuit pope is, you know, social justice oriented. It's good to hear him say that he'd rather we go #settheworldaflame than bicker about stuff that's going to happen anyway (e.g. lots of gay sex).…
