Jamie: Yeah - what Lauren said.

In addition: You will be leaving UWSP soon, and probably - hopefully - this part of the world. Let's face it...people in these parts are incapable of appreciating your awesomeness. Once you root yourself in a city with a population of more than a few thousand you'll be able to escape from the little small-town box that all of the local boys try to shove you into. Life will get better the instant you find yourself in Chicago, or Boston, or L.A., or the Cities, or New York...or any place where the population is large enough to allow for deviation from the accepted norm. (In other words, you need to find a place where there really isn't a norm. This is easy enough to do - the hard part is being ballsy enough to go.)

In the mean time, remind yourself that boys are mutants and that you're not in a big rush to have your heart crushed and your soul stomped on. That can wait, right? You've got plenty of years ahead of you for that. :)
