Maria ReaskIt’s no secret that everyone has secrets. If someone asks you to tell them a secret, you think about what you should say. There’s no way that you’ll tell them that one thing, so you say something silly like “I brush my teeth in the shower” to shrug it off. What if everyone actually did say what was really on their mind? Maybe it’s something that’s been bothering them or something embarrassing…either way they NEED to get it off their chest…but who can you trust these days? That’s what’s so great about Frank Warren’s blog, PostSecret. He has invited the public to send in secrets on postcards to his home address, completely anonymously. Over the years, he has published some of these postcards in several books and he updates his blog weekly with new secrets. He also gives presentations and speaks to universities across the country.
As college students, there’s a lot that we have to deal with. College is obviously a huge transition period in our lives. We couldn’t wait to leave high school and our small towns that seemed to hold us back from something more. While we sometimes feel like college is awesome because of all the freedom it grants us, we also feel like we can’t wait to get out because of the unforeseen stresses that life decides throws at us. I’ve found some PostSecrets from colleges and universities from all over the country. Some are sad, some are funny, some make you think, and some may be relatable to how you feel about this whole college thing. Bottom line, it’s not so bad having a secret when you realize there’s other people out there who may be holding a similar thing in.
