What are y’all doing this summer? I’m taking two summer courses because my parents are obsessed with me finishing school early.
-
Work! I am still so thankful that I got hired.
-
Work, writing essays for scholarships, driver’s training session 1 (ughhh) cause I haven’t taken it yet and I’m 16 and my parents want me to get my license >.<
-
I’m interning at the NYCLU and also spending a bit of time in Southampton and Nantucket at friends’ houses. Natalie, are you in the NYC area like me?

Anyone else here applying to colleges this summer?
-
I’m in such a tizzy because if I’m gonna do uni/college (I’m not American ;)) I really should be applying in the next coupla months. But I’m not sure if I wanna go back to study right away, or have a gap year. So many decisions! Also, a gap year means I’m gonna need some money. I spend all of mine on secondhand books… Heh.
-
I’m applying in the fall- sooo many life decisions to make and all I want to do is play pokemon.
-
Ugh, I know, right? If Ash doesn’t have to age and just gets to travel the world with his pokebuddies, why can’t we do the same?
-
-
Oooo where would you apply to uni? I’m american, but my mum’s canadian so I have dual citizenship. I was thinking of applying to Mcgill and maybe Concordia in Montreal.
And to idotry, I know, right? I have no idea what I want to do and everything’s just crazy D: -
Fall, for me. I may or may not be experiencing mild anxiety over this.
-
I’m going to start my applications in August, kind of afraid I’ll either get in nowhere or get in everywhere (’cause apparently you can’t go to four or five schools in dif. states at the same time).
-
I’ll be writing some college essays, yes. Bring on the writers’ block – at least with less anxiety than during the school year.

Anyone else freaking out about the the increased possibility of not being able to go to college because of stricter admissions and higher tuition and lower budgets? I spent my morning in a state of relative anxiety because of this.
-
YES. like, yeah. so much.
-
What are we to dooooo? Doesn’t help that I live in California, and that the UCs are insanely competitive. My teachers all suggest going out of state, but that’s so much more expensive. :C
-
yeah, and the UCs might take like 5-6years too. i’m from new jersey, so can always go to rutgers. you know, with literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON FROM MY ENTIRE SCHOOL. which would be really really not fun. i’m probs gonna got to canada or somewhere private. lots of privates charge a lot but then give like 75% scholarships. but, they could also not…[Read more]
-
haha. I also have this fear that only rutgers will accept me.

Ugh, there should be an Autostraddle University. Everything would be solved.

There is a Western (something or other) Undergraduate Exchange thing for student in the california, oregon, washington, hawaii, wyoming, tons of states, that make out of state tuition almost instate price

Sooo… who’s been to their first gay bar/club already?
-
I wish… Tell me stories!
-
So I went to Sue Ellen’s (a Dallas lesbian bar) on a Friday a few weeks back. Amazing, amazing! Loved it, dancing was so much fun. And at first I was afraid no one would dance with me- no need to worry. Lesbians are straightforward enough that if they want to dance with you and they see you dancing by yourself, they’ll either a) pull on your tie…[Read more]
-
ALWAYS THE TIE. I love wearing a tie when I go dancing. Genius. Your gay bar sounds fantastic!
-
-
-
as soon as fall comes around and university begins, i am searching all over town for one and partying until i’m dragged back to my dorm. it’s decided.
-
Nope, because I’m not old enough to go into clubs…but kind of because my band played a show in a gay-club which was managed by our drummer’s brother. But we had to leave pretty soon after our set.
-
Basically I’m not old enough. I’m also not cool enough to have a fake ID, and there are queer youth spaces in Seattle, so a gay bar isn’t the only place I can go and be guaranteed to hang with lezzers. Also places with LOTS of noise and people kind of freak me out.
-
When I was 15 (but looked 18/19), my boss (the most adorable little gay boy on the planet) ordered me over to the local gay bar to recruit volunteers for our campaign to get sexual orientation and gender ID on our city’s non-discrimination ordinance. Somehow I got in. The best part was the 40-something lesbian trying to buy “just the cutest little…[Read more]

Wow, we’ve got 52 members! I had no idea there were so many other young people on this site. Anyway, I followed a Facebook link to the new GLSEN climate survey and thought you all might also be interested. The results apparently have the power to make important people pay attention to us and our…[Read more]

This appears to be have been written by a misguided teen who believes ever piece of anti-gay propaganda she has been fed. It’s unfortunate, and I wish this kind of hate wasn’t pit out there for tiny babygay ears to hear. (oh yeah, trigger warning: homophobia for that link) but honestly I try to save my ragey feelings for things that matter. Also,…[Read more]
