UPDATE FROM
the "Go Blue Girly Confessions" wall
One stall in the Fishbowl women's bathroom has persisted
as a spot for anonymous graffiti group therapy, despite the
University's attempt last year to paint over the writing. Now,
the span of supportive scribbles has grown larger than ever.
"I hate my leg hair - have I been
brainwashed by society's beauty
standards? I've tried letting it grow
but I just can't stand the fur."
"Not a big deal. You decide how
you want to look; as long as it's not
unhealthy who cares what's PC?'
"I think Imight be pregnant."
"Me too."
"I think my boyfriend cheated on me.
I don't know if it's just my paranoia
left over from past relationships or if
my attention to the subject is driving
him to it. I'm sick of myself"
"(Several months later) I just found out he
was cheating. I should have trusted myself."
"I love my sorority sisters but hate the stereotype."
"I LOVE MY SISTERS BUT
HATE MY SORORITY"
"WHERE ARE THE SMART, CARING, SENSITIVE
WOMEN I SEE ON THESE WALLS? WHY DON'T
I KNOW ANY OF THEM? WHAT IS WRONG
WITH THE WORLD WHEN PEOPLE CAN ONLY
COMMUNICATE VIA A BATHROOM STALL?"
