All Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs) (2025-2026)

[glass hornet]

Seems Hella depressive

[turbid ibex]

Cmu is in PA

Lowkey ass place

Amherst in MA

[glass hornet]

Ok but what about academics

[turbid ibex]

Hmo hmo

Academics ain't matter that much when it comes to landing j*bs

Amherst has better network

Very good alumni

[glass hornet]

Really? I thought cmu was more well known though

[turbid ibex]

Alumni are head fucking over heels for the school

[turbid ibex]

Well known but connections can land you farther

[glass hornet]

This choice is too difficult

I will spin a wheel

[turbid ibex]

Speaking from a perspective of a person who got to this point of life through connections

[turbid ibex]

Amherst is very well-known within NE

[glass hornet]

What is NE

New england

[turbid ibex]

Yuh

[glass hornet]

I probably won't stay in ne

[turbid ibex]

Nooooooo

Travic

Yeah cmu then

I thought everyone would love to stay in NE 🥀I'm head over heels for NE specifically MA

[fringe spear]

could also be read as nebraska lol

[glass hornet]

Whats in new England 😭😭

Why would someone stay there

[floral coral]

boston and providence r two wonderful cities

and nyc is very very very close

[glass hornet]

I dont want to go to the bronx

I want to go to o block

Anyway location doesn't matter to me, just chances of me staying in ne are low

@rose ruin did you forget about us 🥹

[pallid stratus]

omg same

[silent otter]

really?

[floral coral]

i dont think so

NE has a lot of great cities

[pallid stratus]

my dream is new england

[silent otter]

i like being in new england for college

but i def wanna leave lol

been here for way too long

[pallid stratus]

it might jsut be cuz i live in fl

[glass hornet]

The world is a much bigger place, I could really go anywhere

[pallid stratus]

and i want a change

[silent otter]

ya february gonna fuck u up

idk what it was about this february specifically

oh my god it was terrible

[pallid stratus]

lol ur probably right

but i like the snow

and cold

[silent otter]

too much damn snow

[pallid stratus]

it’s way better than the hot

[silent otter]

what is cold to u

[pallid stratus]

well o just went up to ma for a fly in

in feb

[glass hornet]

Probably like 68 degrees f is pretty cold

[silent otter]

twas quite cold

[glass hornet]

Yknow

[pallid stratus]

so that was cold

[silent otter]

??????

[pallid stratus]

but i liked it

[silent otter]

Omg if it was 68 degrees outside right now

[glass hornet]

What 🥹

[silent otter]

It would be amazing omfg

[minor tundra]

Too cold

[pallid stratus]

wait do u go to yale

[minor tundra]

Smh

[silent otter]

yeah

[glass hornet]

Just wear coat

[pallid stratus]

do u know a rachel

[silent otter]

there are lots of rachel’s

[minor tundra]

Lol

[silent otter]

tennis team?

[pallid stratus]

what rachel do u know

no

[silent otter]

don’t know her then prolly

[pallid stratus]

okay

[silent otter]

it actually was pretty nice today

idk people idealize new england but like winter sucks

fall is nice but it’ll be even better next year

[pallid stratus]

well where did u move from

[silent otter]

new england

lol

[pallid stratus]

okay then

[glass hornet]

I dont like winter or summer, I dont like any weather

[pallid stratus]

u just need change

[glass hornet]

I will live in space

[pallid stratus]

cuz u have lived there all ur life

[silent otter]

yeah i’m gonna move postgrad hopefully

[pallid stratus]

as someone who has had hot winters for years i want snow so bad

[glass hornet]

Shoveling snow isnt nice

[pallid stratus]

it was 70 degrees on christmas

[silent otter]

i will say the first time every year it snows is nice

[limber prawn]

Absurd take

[pallid stratus]

well luckily i’ll be in college so i don’t have to do that

[silent otter]

but this winter it just snowed too goddamn much

[limber prawn]

NE weather is better than any other weather

[silent otter]

i don’t know if i agree

[glass hornet]

Some colleges make students shovel dorm sidewalks 👍

[silent otter]

i would rather take my midterms in 70 degree weather than -5 degree weather

[limber prawn]

Only place where you can do high quality winter sport and high quality summer sport without moving towns

[silent otter]

omg december finals week was the trenches

[limber prawn]

This is insane

[pallid stratus]

lol thst will not be me

[silent otter]

u prefer -5 over 70?

[limber prawn]

0 degrees is better than 70 degrees for a test

I’d hate to be sweating during a test

[glass hornet]

🥀

[glass hornet]

Definitely

[silent otter]

i dont mean in the exam room

but also wait i lowkey would? lol

70 degrees is perfect

[limber prawn]

nah that’s a little warm

[glass hornet]

Wait yeah 70 isnt hot

[pallid stratus]

nah i’m not with yall 70 degrees is better than 0 degrees for a test

[glass hornet]

😭

[limber prawn]

I think like 50 to 60 is optimal

[pallid stratus]

68 is optimal

[glass hornet]

50 to 60??? 68 is optimal

[limber prawn]

but too hot is too hot

[silent otter]

i mean 70 with wind is super optimal

[pallid stratus]

noooo

[silent otter]

above 75 gets annoying

but i wouldn’t know

[pallid stratus]

we have no wind here it’s actually so miserable

[limber prawn]

We had like mid-upper 70s where I’m at a few weeks ago and it sucked

[pallid stratus]

and no trees

[silent otter]

i haven’t experienced above 50 degrees since like october

[limber prawn]

I like the 50s and 60s so the weather is nice and we can shoot some hoops and stuff outside

[pallid stratus]

i feel like tennessee is the best it would be

Tennessee seems like a good place to live

good culture, good weather

middle ground state i would say

[sonic kiln]

fr

[muted cloud]

The only college I've had with a unique acceptance page was Richmond

And it's like spiders falling lol

It's kinda funny

[karmic socket]

hamilton waitlist

[rose ruin]

dang hamilton wiped my application real fast 💀

was gonna go back and stare at the portal but ig not

[karmic socket]

how likely is one from hamilton waitlist to be offered a place?

[rose ruin]

it's like 2% iirc 😭

[karmic socket]

oh hell na

[rose ruin]

double check that tho

[karmic socket]

35 out of 950ish waitlisted accepted a spot

acc to latest cds

thats 3%ish ?

[rose ruin]

oh what

like 35 were admitted

[karmic socket]

but more wouldve been offered a place i assume

[rose ruin]

or 35 stayed on the waitlist

[karmic socket]

950ish waitlisted

[rose ruin]

ohh and 35 of the ones who got off decided to go

[karmic socket]

35 accepted a spot at hamilton after being waitlisted

[karmic socket]

yea

[rose ruin]

okay

not too bad

[glass hornet]

EZZE

[rose ruin]

i mean its worth staying on as long as you'd want to go

[karmic socket]

so ig a bit more wouldve been accepted

[rose ruin]

[silent otter]

Yay congratsss

[tough mantle]

Congrats to the Vassar acceptances

[hardy island]

AY AY AY

I PULLED VASSAR

YUH

[pallid stratus]

am i crazy or is like everyone getting into vassar

[hardy island]

Ur not crazy vro

[pallid stratus]

everyone is getting into vassar and colgate

[main kite]

well we are lowkey cracked

[hardy island]

lwk these schools acceptance rates r fraudddd

[main kite]

idk if i wanna stay on the waitlist

[rapid creek]

Congratssssssss

[pallid stratus]

literally

[main kite]

5.8% acceptance off of it

[rapid creek]

my Pomona waitlist was a 4% acceptance rate

anything can happen

if youre still interested in Vassar id stay on it

but def plan to commit elsewhere

[main kite]

well no its not that im going to go off of it because its a low acceptance rate

but i dont think vassar is a top choice for me at all

well i supose id stay but i wouldnt submit a loci unless i write one for another school

[rapid creek]

if youre not interested then why stay on and still have that stress and or uncertainty

[main kite]

why would it be stressful

[rapid creek]

idk some people find waiting for a result stressful

[rose ruin]

did anyone else's vassar portal js straight up give away the decision

[rapid creek]

we're all different

[muted cloud]

Tbf there's a lot of smart mfs in here

[rose ruin]

like mine said "view admissions decision and financial aid letter" or something like that

[main kite]

who is stressing over waitlists if they already commit to a school like lowkey if thats the case i dont think they should do waitlists

[junior field]

#1448830292482719914

[rapid creek]

plenty of folks in this thread lol

[junior field]

Eventually that will be the only one open

[muted cloud]

This reminds me of when I opened when of my portals and I literally saw "respond to waitlist"

Gee wizz, I wonder what my decision is!

[hardy island]

30k a yr for vassar agh

[muted cloud]

Lwk they came off of my list because my financial aid estimate there was dog poopoo

[rose ruin]

wait if it helps vassar has given me the most aid of any of my schools so far

so if that's the only reason you didn't want to go

idk

[muted cloud]

Literally 90 percent of my list is top LACs

I think I'll be fine

[rose ruin]

😭i'm just saying

don't discount it js bc bad aid

amherst, colgate, and carleton all gave worse aid than vassar for me

but thats fair

waitlists are annoying

[rapid creek]

they do be

[minor tundra]

Does barnard normally give aid

I only got 6k

And the rest were loans

[main kite]

https://tenor.com/view/um-stan-twitter-interesting-gif-2556128588276332485

what the helly 😭

[minor tundra]

I'm so deadass

[rapid creek]

whats your other colleges aid lookin like

[minor tundra]

Only other aid was from lsu and uofsc (merit aid)

Lsu gave me a scholarship ig merit too

[rapid creek]

ahhh i see

[rose ruin]

if both were merit then 6k is prob just about right 😭 any other need-based private school aid?

[rapid creek]

idk im aware schools can be very stingy with need based aid if youre not low income enough

[minor tundra]

I havent heard back from ahy others yet

[minor tundra]

Ok i didnt know barnard was need aware

[rapid creek]

oh i dont know if theyre need aware or not

[minor tundra]

6k for a coa of over 100k iscrazy

[serene crown]

theyre need blind but the need is high

[muted cloud]

Reread what they said lol

[serene crown]

well theyre need aware for waitlisters too lol

[rapid creek]

many if not most schools have need aware WLs

because finalizing a class may mean having certain need criteria to meet

[muted cloud]

Cooked for my waitlists then

I'm broke

[minor tundra]

I just did lol I confused myself

[glossy lagoon]

Vassar came

Im too nervous to open it

[muted cloud]

Gl

[tough mantle]

I believe

[willow dust]

smith sending me a likely letter only for no merit scholarships today 🥀🥀🥀

do u love me or not? mixed signals 💔

[muted cloud]

Love-hate relationship

💀

"it's complicated" ass fucking school

[willow dust]

won't go bc wellesley cost the same anyway 😔

[rose ruin]

good luck!

[hearty summit]

day 3 of asking grinnell to take me off the waitlist

[willow dust]

did u do their supp?

i highkey forgot abt it but somehow got waitlisted

[hearty summit]

yes

i did do the sup

[willow dust]

wish u the best 🥰

their waitlist is a little grim though 😭

[idle wraith]

Every single liberal arts college i’ve applied to i’ve been waitlisted from. Not rejected, not accepted, FUCKING WAITLISTED

[astral knot]

Which?

[idle wraith]

6 IN A ROW IM GOING TO CRY

[idle wraith]

Vassar, williams, bowdoin, wellesley, skidmore, bucknell

[astral knot]

Rip

Better WL than reject

[rancid flax]

LAC are having so much fun this cycle with the WL

[glossy lagoon]

rejected dang

thanks a lot guy

[glossy lagoon]

i think im just gonna take a really deep sleep

[idle wraith]

This is honestly impressive

[glossy lagoon]

that means ur good enough for them

you are getting in somewhere definitely

[willow dust]

dw homegirl. if i get into brown/yale i'll decline my wellesley spot for u 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[steep ivy]

omg lock in on that loci

[astral knot]

junior?

[willow dust]

what 😭

senior ✌️

[astral knot]

ur not a junior?

dawg change ur roles

[rapid creek]

update your roles then

[glossy lagoon]

ive been getting flat out rejected

[willow dust]

o shit mb

[glossy lagoon]

weak ah application

[willow dust]

i lowkey haven't talked in this server since last yr

i'll change

[astral knot]

which have u applied to

[idle wraith]

I have my national qualifiers this weekend and they’re announcing the valedictorian and salutatorian of my school this week so hopefully i can put some good awards in the LOCI

[steep ivy]

yesss

good luck

[idle wraith]

There’s a chance i’ll end up sal and if we end up qualifying any dances i’ll have to add it to the LOCI

[willow dust]

bravo!!

[steep ivy]

i lowks don’t have anything impressive to add to my loci imma just tell them im still doing my ecs and hope for the best

[loud ocean]

there is a lot of uncertainty.... kind of everywhere

[rancid flax]

uncertainty from him or

[willow dust]

colleges are so weird. i did a full sweep for my lacs (besides grinnell wl), but couldn't get into ucsd, ucsb, ucla

[minor tundra]

Colleges are truly random

[loud ocean]

somewhat

[rancid flax]

schools with 160,000 people applying to them btw

soooo unpredictable

but lowk id take a lac over the ucs

[loud ocean]

i mean... yeah

easiest choice

[willow dust]

me too except they cost 3x more money for my fam

i would've liked having ucla as an option

[rancid flax]

are u in state for ucs?

[willow dust]

ya

[rancid flax]

oh that makes sense

most people on a2c r oos for the ucs so i assumed u were too

[willow dust]

resident i am oos, financial aid i am in state

weird living situation

w my parents

[obsidian lintel]

this pomona admit package is buns as hell

876 admits and yet not enough time to write a letter 😔

these guys don't gaf about yield ig

[willow dust]

im looking forward to my wellesley package

they better deliver

[weary cobalt]

Literally same 😭 in my Pitzer loci talked about my college decision page and then spent the rest tryna glaze 🫩✌🏽

Pitzer pls take me 😞 (with money…)

[sinful totem]

No way

[sinful totem]

We don’t care about interest

[sinful totem]

Ehhhhhhh

i wonder if the ar is gonna be lower this year it seemed to dip for my year and now it’s like rising

[fallen umbra]

poughkeepsie isnt that crazy far from stuff

i mean in terms of middle of nowhere

[sinful totem]

nah it’s really easy to get to the city

[rancid flax]

is poughkeepsie a real town

i thought u guys were making a joke..

[fallen umbra]

ya it’s where vassar is

[sinful totem]

more real than like any other ny lac location icl

[rapid creek]

poughkeepsies alright

i liked arlington, the neighborhood right by campus

[fallen umbra]

pah kip sea

[sinful totem]

it’s like fine it’s just an average upstate city

[rapid creek]

and yea its a 1.5 hr train to NYC

[sinful totem]

yeah

vassar’s not even like in poughkeepsie proper 😓

marist is tho

[loud ocean]

even schools that dton't "count" DI, often take a look at it

[fallen umbra]

i mean with traffic it will probably take me just as long to get into Charlotte 💔

[sinful totem]

i see

[fallen umbra]

evil 77

[honest river]

does anyone know how many people got into colgate

[fallen umbra]

it’s only like 30 mins tho im dramatic

[honest river]

out of all the people who applied

[rapid creek]

theyll likely make a press release sometime in April breaking down the stats

[fallen umbra]

not out yet

[rapid creek]

chloe will likely find it and post and pin it here

[honest river]

oh ok

[honest river]

thx for letting me i want see why i got rejected

[rapid creek]

ah youll never know really, colleges cant disclose to you individually

FERPA rules

you can get a general picture based on average stats and percentages, but those stats are a baseline for admissions, not a deciding factor for any competitive applicant

[loud ocean]

nothing to do with FERPA

they just don't have

a) interest
b) time
c) the potential liability

[honest river]

yea i want to see how many people got so can see competition lol i mean only 3-4k student got in i prob get why i got rejected

[fallen umbra]

also with small liberal arts schools a lot of it can come down to numbers

[rapid creek]

ah didnt know it wasnt FERPA

i know its a liability tho

[fallen umbra]

so even if you have stats to look at to compare

realistically for somewhere like Colgate you aren’t going to be able to deduce anything useful from knowing how many ppl got in tbh

[loud ocean]

ferpa just relates to the release, review, and amendment of your academic records

[honest river]

oh

well they do have like acceptance rate less 12, I kinda of expected to get rejected 😢

[weary cobalt]

I mean true but like I live there

So it’s kinda wtv for me

I’m gonna go there regardless 😭

[vocal schooner]

ND has the Glynn Honors programs iirc it’s the only T20 with one.

[minor notch]

Got Bowdoin chat

Yippee

[hearty summit]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

😢😢😢

i thought it means my appli is decent....or do they just waitlist everyone and it doesnt mean anything

[willow dust]

i thought they take like less than 1% off the waitlist

most lacs are like that

[hearty summit]

im so heartbroken

[pallid stratus]

why ?

wait nvm

[fickle tundra]

Rejected from Vassar

Got an interview even

All L

[hearty summit]

lacs feel so random this year

i wonder if they are gaining popularity so admissions are harder?? williams was insane

[fickle tundra]

Vassar received more than 10k applicants

[hearty summit]

holy

ive never heard abt that before

do you have any other decisions waiting for you? i wish you best of luck on your waitlists

i think getting an interview is a sign that youre a strong applicant still

[sinful totem]

i live there too

it’s like partially why i chose vassar

it’s like really easy to get home

if i went to like any other ny lac i’d be fuckedddd

they’re also in like the real middle of nowhere

[fickle tundra]

Vandy for Lac

Duke , Emory Columbia

[fickle tundra]

Not sure

I have been getting rejections

That's all

[hearty summit]

aw that sucks

[fickle tundra]

I have been writing emails to Vassar fin dept and admission dept for 4 weeks

Regarding my finances

But they all ignored it

Even my regional AO

I am going to write one last good letter to Vasar Admission Dean or Head 🥰

Won't care if they blacklist

I have nothing to lose

[hearty summit]

what is the point of emailing them when you got rejected?

[hearty summit]

i wouldnt rlly want to go to a school that doesnt respond to emails for 4 weeks 🙁

you seem to have applied to a lot of reaches though. what are your stats?

[fickle tundra]

Dean should know what his admission office is doing

Also taking out my frustrations

[fickle tundra]

Yeah i did

What are ur Ws?

[glass hornet]

Did you apply to any safeties

[hearty summit]

i dont think theres a point in this, better to move on and focus on the future thant he past

since their finan office is clearly not very competent, maybe not getting in could have saved you in the long run. imagine you got in but they never reply to your emails requesting aid

[hearty summit]

im assuming Ws means colleges i got into right

[fickle tundra]

Yes

[fickle tundra]

Rutgers which i can't afford

Go to local college of

[hearty summit]

i got way too overconfient and wrongfully labeled some schools as my targets

this was created before my decisions and i def dont see nyu as a target anymore 💔 or w&l

[hearty summit]

did you get in? maybe you can appeal with the financial aid office

[fickle tundra]

Yeah i did

Lemme try

[fickle tundra]

I also applied to sbu

Are u also intl?

NU is a r1 research uni

[fringe topaz]

the final days are here

[fickle tundra]

I see

I thought most private colleges were lac

[crude shadow]

most LACs are private colleges, its the other way

iirc its mostly the military academies that are public LACs

one I can think of is my future neighbour, VMI

[fickle tundra]

I see

[muted cloud]

The only public LAC I can think of outside of military schools is SMCM

That was the only public school on my whole list, actually

[crude shadow]

Massachusetts institute of liberal arts

[muted cloud]

MIT but special

[crude shadow]

MIT but you paint Joe Biden

[muted cloud]

WAIT I JUST GOT IT

HAHAHAH

[boreal fjord]

VMI is one, who are the others?

I don't think William & Mary is an LAC

[boreal fjord]

university of mary washington was the main one i was thinking of

uva wise is techincally a lac

[main kite]

yeah it’s a research

[boreal fjord]

yah w&m kinda advertises their education as being liberal arts style but they're also pretty research heavy (r1 in fact) and they have a lot of grad students

[glass hornet]

When does wesleyan come out?

[boreal fjord]

this evening i believe

[glass hornet]

Last lav

For me

[boreal fjord]

my last college in general i could not be more excited

[fickle tundra]

If i die then pls give my middle finger to Vassar
Mf wasted my time with the interview and didn't even bother saying my app is incomplete

[glass hornet]

😭😭

[fickle tundra]

Why even take an interview and give hope

I literally connected with so many alumnis

And researched about school and prof

Labs and shit

[slender void]

For some reason i feel like pomona isnt selective just because i got in

💔

[boreal fjord]

i get that feeling but it's just your brain being silly

pomona is definitely very selective and getting in is a great achievement

[hearty summit]

yes!

my friend got 32k/year and is also oos

[vocal schooner]

Pretty difficult

[upper glade]

[upper glade]

[fringe topaz]

This is how I’m feeling about Davidson

[vocal schooner]

I didn’t know they actually watched the initial view interviews

❤️

Guess the 250$ wasn’t to waste

[loud ocean]

Oh yeah, those are really helpful

both to gauge what you're like, but also for english level

[glossy lagoon]

i emailed them asking if theres a different way of doing an interview but they said no :((

[upper glade]

I thought it was nothing omfg

ugh

[glossy lagoon]

in fact they didnt even respond

[vocal schooner]

Oh really!

Do you watch those in your time reading

[upper glade]

so paying that $400 or so does boost your chances

[glossy lagoon]

thats so p2w

[vocal schooner]

I thought it’s like a thing where they only watch it if it’s really borderline

[glossy lagoon]

i cant even afford that 250$

[vocal schooner]

If you have a verified income below a certain level it’s free iirc

[glossy lagoon]

huh

dang

i saw the 250$ sticker price and then decided i wont

[loud ocean]

[upper glade]

I really like tech. But idt studying communication at a tech school would be fun

[minor tundra]

I can’t wait for the stupid shenanigans I can get myself into if I get a good roomie

[glass hornet]

Would y’all allow ur roommate to bring their partner over

[tough mantle]

Yeah

Idc

[glass hornet]

What if they start doing weird things

https://tenor.com/view/meowl-cat-owl-gif-16304756704527773823

[tough mantle]

Then I’ll leave the room

[fringe topaz]

as long as they dont mess with my area sure

[glossy lagoon]

i WILL NOT leave the room

i paid for it

[glass hornet]

Yeah that’s what I’ll do too

[glass hornet]

Alr 💀💀

[tough mantle]

Like couples do weird stuff sometimes idk what to say here 💀

Anyways uhh

[glossy lagoon]

i think they should be ashamed of it

if they are fine with ME in MY ROOM

then i will be in OUR ROOM

but tbh dont ppl get separate rooms

and jst one shared living space

[tough mantle]

Not usually

[glass hornet]

All my Asian friends said they would never allow their roommates to bring their partner

I think it might be a culture thing

[fringe topaz]

you can if you're lucky

or quick

[glossy lagoon]

i am asian

[fringe topaz]

not sure which

[glossy lagoon]

but i think im just mean

[glass hornet]

But I m ok with it like whatever just don’t start taking off ur clothes infront of me

[glossy lagoon]

why

[fringe topaz]

😭 at that point obviously they would ask you to leave

[glossy lagoon]

its just a couple of a primate species engaging in procreation

[tough mantle]

What if they forget

[glossy lagoon]

which is totally normal and in fact a common occurences across all species of the animalia

[glossy lagoon]

id be more concerned about them distracting me

[sinful totem]

don’t do this

[glass hornet]

You can’t

[glossy lagoon]

bad idea

what if you break up

[sinful totem]

in fact don’t even date someone on your floor

[glossy lagoon]

its awkward as fuck

[upper glade]

oh yeah

[glossy lagoon]

never date anyone you might have to meet daily

[tough mantle]

So what you’re saying

[sinful totem]

genuinely it’s a problem at lacs

[glass hornet]

Welp no

[tough mantle]

Don’t get a gf in college

[sinful totem]

it goes bad

[glossy lagoon]

no pain no gain

[upper glade]

blessing us with the REAL tip

s

[glossy lagoon]

if i ever go to uni at all

either in my own country or not

id still be in a wireless relationship

[sinful totem]

dating in college is fine but it’s best if it’s like medium distance or you go to a college nearby

my gf goes to new paltz

[glossy lagoon]

the problem is that is it bluetooth or wifi

[sinful totem]

so it’s rly easy

[glass hornet]

I need to get myself a date in college

[sinful totem]

dating at the same college is distracting af

[glass hornet]

That’s all

[upper glade]

RIP colgate

is cornell close

[glossy lagoon]

the dartmouth people may be cooked

[sinful totem]

it’s like an hour and a half

[tough mantle]

Well

[upper glade]

ah

[sinful totem]

new paltz is like 15 min from vassar to clarify

[glass hornet]

Honestly as long as they don’t do weird things it’s fine

[upper glade]

man colgate should be big enough right

[tough mantle]

Time to be single again for a few years

[fringe topaz]

its normal

[sinful totem]

yeah

it’s really not that like bad but it just is pretty distracting dating someone on campus imo

unless you’re able to not be completely codependent

[glass hornet]

If ur in this discord I assume ur single

Auto single

[glossy lagoon]

my gf and i are just destined to never be together

[tough mantle]

I used to not be

[glossy lagoon]

i am not be

[tough mantle]

That’s why I’m at Davidson now

Or going to

did you sacrifice your gf to the pagan gods for davidson
