CONFESSION:
"Today I got a tattoo on my back of a big Lion and under it it says, "Christ". My mom is going to kill me."

REFLECTION:
Personally I don't really like tatoo's especially if they its a tattoo where they put some reference to christianity or religion. I feel like a lot of times people just get religious things tattooed on their body because it gives them a good reason to get one.

CONFESSION:
My ex-boyfriend is coming in town this weekend... I'm spazzing out right now... oh s*&%...

REFLECTION:
All girls get uptight when it comes to their ex-boyfriends... especially if they haven't seen them in a prolonged period of time.

CONFESSION:
"I lied this weirdo guy about having a math test so that i wouldn't have to go to dinner at his house with him. He just seemed like a sketch ball."

REFLECTION:
It happens, both guys and girls lie especially if it gets them off the hook. In this case, this is exactly what this girl did.

CONFESSION:
"No offense, but I honestly don't know how I am going to live with you next year. I love you to death, but you are just so loud. Sometimes when I am with you I wish I were a turtle so that I could pull my head into my shell so that I could hide. I just get embarrassed... I'm sorry...

REFLECTION:
In this situation one girl was talking to another girl about her feelings about living together. It was brutal but it sounded like a conversation that potential roomates ought to have.

CONFESSION:
"HOLY S*&%!!!! it looks like there is a waterfall coming from that window! what is happening to UT? this place is so messed up!"

REFLECTION:
This was said when a water pipe broke in south carrick and there was water pouring out of a room on the fifth floor. I live on the third floor and was able to see the faces and hear all of the "confessions" that people made... it was exciting!

CONFESSION:
"I think I am going to have to go on a liquid diet until spring break..."

REFLECTION:
There isn't really a whole lot to this confession, i think every girl can relate to a certain extent... maybe not a month of liquid dieting but i mean, face it, girls obsess over their bodies.

CONFESSION:
"I can't remember the last time I have gone three days without drinking. I have got to get some alcohol in my system, I can't function properly."

REFLECTION:
This person sounds like an alcoholic. I think that if you consider yourself to not function properly without the consumption of alcohol for three days you have some problems. Oh and, the person speaking was a girl...

CONFESSION:
"My parents don't really know exactly what I am doing for spring break, but its only because if they did know, they wouldn't let me go. I mean, I'll tell them where I really am once Im there, when they can't do anything about it. But seriously, I'm in college, I can do whatever the hell I want."

REFLECTION:
Sadly, this is so many college students mentality but I am convinced that even if you don't think your parents know, they always know when you are scheming. This guy who was talking will probably not improve trust issues with his parents with his plan. Maybe he should think about what he's doing for the sake of his future plans. Just a thought.

CONFESSION:
"I am the biggest pimp you will ever meet. I have at least one girl on every floor of both South Carrick and Humes that would shack with me if i presented the offer. Its great to be me."

REFLECTION:
This was an extremely over confident guy who was bragging to ANOTHER GIRL about how available he was. I know that if i were the girl he was "bragging" to, I would be extremely turned OFF.

CONFESSION:
"hey, whats your name?? you aren't going inside, you are going to come to Bar Knoxville with us, I don't care what you say. Please, you're so hot, why don't you come out, it will be so fun, I'll buy you a drink. Well at least give me your number, whats your name? Okay well then maybe i'll facebook you... you're awesome!!"


REFLECTION:
This was an extremely group of guys and girls trying to get another girl who was obviously sober and planning on staying in. Because they were drunk they felt like they could persuade her to come out with them, a group of very intoxicated strangers.

CONFESSION:
"We got the weirdest suitemates... they smell bad and all their pictures are baby pictures."

RELECTION:
There isn't a whole lot to reflect, I just thought it was funny hearing these people talk about their suitmates.

CONFESSION:

"oh my gosh, I'm so pissed off right now... so okay, here is what happened... _________ and her boyfriend came into my room last night and both of them were really drunk and ________'s boyrfriend pissed on my roomates BED! I was about to kill him. So, after he pissed on the bed, I just assumed that _______ would help me clean it up, but she just left with her boyfriend. So gross"


REFLECTION:
This just really grossed me out. I know that if i had a "friend" who's boyfriend pissed on my roomates bed and she didn't do anything about it, i would really question her friendship.

CONFESSION:
"I have only been to 3 of my 11 classes this week... I don't have time in college to go to class."

REFLECTION:
The irony of these two sentences is amazing. I don't know if this person was being sarcastic, but I just found it to be really funny.

CONFESSION:
"I'm scared about spring break. I think I am going to have to bring my car because I'm afraid I'm going to getting so f*&%ing drunk I'll probably need to come home early. I don't plan on remembering any of my spring break... I'm so excited."

REFLECTION:
My reflection is simple, a.) if you're going on spring break, don't set the trip up for failure by expecting yourself to be drunk the ENTIRE time. and b.) why even go on spring break if you don't plan on remembering it?

CONFESSION:
"OH MY GOSH listen... tonight I was dancing my ass off and guess what... my pants ripped... i didn't care though..."


REFLECTION:
I just thought this was funny... I know that I would have a problem if my pants ripped. She must have been a crazy dancer.

This was another conversation I overheard in the courtyard...

"I regret last night so much... _________ was so s*&% faced and the cops found her and took her to the hospital. We couldn't find her for like two hours and I finally got a phone call so we went to the hospital to see her. She was the worst sight ever. They wouldn't let us go in her room. Her fingers had iv things in them and she was just bawling, the lights were turned off and they wouldn't let us go in there. I never want that to happen again, i feel like s*&%."


REFLECTION:
I just found this conversation very sad but also, I was glad that I overheard it because it made me think about how dangerous college life can get. I honestly believe that if half the students could have heard the fear in this girls voice they would really re-think some of the decisions they make.

This was a conversation I heard right outside of my room one morning...

"We've got 5 bottles of wine, three girls and WE'RE GOING TO GATLINBURG!! woohoo!!"

Response:
This was around 10:00 on a Saturday morning and I just remember hearing them and being so frustrated because I was so tired and not ready at all to get up...
