There was this floating around, but it's about Lizzy Seeberg too.

Right, I'm not trying to say "that's all?!" either. I don't think most people here are, but I do think it is important to get the facts straight. There IS another claim of a student who was raped by a player but she decided not to report anything to the police because of the way Seeberg's case was handled, so there…

I went to all women's college too (so did Lizzy Seeberg), and I think maybe you are just sheltered. If you are on a college campus with or near a male population, this is an issue. At Saint Mary's it is especially a problem because Saint Mary's doesn't have control over Notre Dame's students, who are typically the…

I don't think she is saying it isn't serious or shouldn't be prosecuted. In fact, her other comments on this article and others related to Lizzy Seeberg would prove otherwise (I know because I follow this closely, which is how I learned that Erin went to ND). Several people on this article have gotten upset when…

Agreed.

You win. This is an amazing comment.

Thanks so much for writing this. I grew up in South Bend, more than half of my family went to ND or Saint Mary's (I went to Saint Mary's too), and this sums up exactly how I feel about this situation. I'm actually really saddened that Manti either getting scammed or making up a fake dead gf is going to shame the…

I don't agree with you. The program is going to face more shame over this than the cover up of Lizzy Seeberg's assault. I went to SMC too, and a large part of me wants to see ND get their priorities realigned because of this situation. The other part, though, will feel too depressed that it happened because of a fake…

I don't agree with this potion of your comment: "The pro-life movement is about abortion and fighting for the fetus's right to life. It doesn't address education and contraception."

Thank you. I kept reading cellophane shot, and had no idea what that meant. This makes a lot more sense.

oh. good point!

My immediate first thought upon reading this was "why would you spend MORE money on paper and postage?!" This may also be because every day I'm having a heart attack over what we've decided to spend on our wedding. But also because it's the dumbest idea ever.

My mom is one of 8 kids, and I have 40 first cousins, and I'm getting married this year. I totally understand where you are coming from, but I don't the it is acceptable to ask for money to pay for your reception. I DO think it's a great idea to not invite your cousins and only do aunts and uncles. Or if you want…

Fewer people to feed, especially considering many places do not have a special price for children's meals.

I think this is more common with younger friends. I have been a B-lister at a friend's wedding, and I went, and it was really fun. We aren't the closest, more going out friends, so it's not as if I was miffed not to be invited. But a few weeks before she said, hey we have some extra spots, want to come? Why yes, I'd…

This is exactly why it is annoying that they are against marriage equality laws. They don't have to let ANYONE get married in their church, so legalizing gay marriage has nothing to do with their system of marriage. Not that this is entirely on topic, but it just makes me crazy.

Woah. Just woah. I'm so glad to hear you're doing ok now.

Your letter is probably the one I can most relate to despite none of the same things happening to me, because even though my ex was an asshole, my letter would be equally about why I feel dumb for continuing to date him. So I just want to tell you that we all do stupid things when we love someone, and to try not to…

This is truly great advice. You should buy her a gift.

Ugh. I HATE that. Sooooo many people I know do this. And then they act like they are more mature than me when I explain that I get over people by remembering every single thing I hate about them. It makes me not want to call or sleep with them ever again, and eventually it passes, and I can just feel indifferent.
