Student accident results in campus tragedy
Feb. 7, 2009
We are deeply saddened to inform the College community that Thomas Rouleau, a sophomore from New York, died at the scene of a car accident late Friday night. Four other McDaniel students, Megan Magee, Katerina Minadakis, Patricia Mellotte, and David Arnold, were also involved in the accident and were transported to area hospitals for non life threatening injuries. Our thoughts and prayers are with Thomas’ family and friends during this difficult time.
For those who would like to talk, counselors and Student Affairs staff are available. The Wellness Center, located in Winslow Hall, is open Saturday until 10:00 p.m. and will re-open at 9:00 a.m. Sunday.
According to the Westminster Police Department news release, the students’ car was struck in the rear one mile west on West Main Street by a driver who fled the scene of the accident and has not yet been located despite searches by officers on foot as well as an aerial search by the Maryland State Police helicopter.
We know that the entire campus community will come together to support and comfort each other as we grieve for the loss of our Thomas.
Life is so short. I wasn't really friends with Tom, but Mcdaniel is small enough that his absense would not have gone unnoticed. What angers me is that the driver who hit them was drunk and fled from the scene. The mother fucker ran off and Tom died. I want everyone who reads that to understand that driving under any influence whatsoever is NOT ok. Most of you are in college, so yeah, you're going to drink, smoke, whatever, but if I ever, ever hear of any of you getting behind the wheel, I will most likely not speak to you again. Tom was nineteen. 19. Really, he had barely begun living. He didn't know that last night would be his last. He was young. His girlfriend was in the car too. I can't begin to imagine what Nina is going through right now. I can't begin to imagine how his parents feel.
Tom Rouleau is in my thoughts today.

I've never really thought of myself as unattractive. Then again, I've never really thought that much about the way I look. I wear makeup that I think looks cool. Generally, I think I look kind of nice.
However, lately, I feel really unattractive. Actually, I feel really ugly.
I was sitting outside of Rouzer (the freshmen boys dorm) with Katie (one of my suitemates) and this group of ROTC guys. When Katie went inside, one of the guys said to the other, "Damn, that girl is hot. I wonder if she has anymore hot friends who are girls." I was standing right there. I wanted to just walk away and cry. I had never felt so hideous in my entire life, but I stayed where I was. I didn't want to seem affected by these cruel words. I was really glad it was dark outside because I had become flushed with anger and sadness.
The last person to call me beautiful was this guy I really liked. I was having a really bad night; I was stressed, upset, crying and he came over. He kissed me on my forehead and told me that I shouldn't worry about things because I'm strong, smart, and beautiful. I fell for it. We had sex. He doesn't like me the way I like him. I felt used. I feel like the only time I'm beautiful to someone is when they are trying to seduce me into having sex.
I'm 5'9". So is Katie. She's thin. I'm not. I look at all of my friends; most of them are petite and very thin and in shape. I looked in the mirror today and I was a blob. Even when I work out I can never shed the pounds. I eat healthily. I drink lots of water. I eat smaller portions now and I don't go back fro seconds anymore unless its vegetables. I feel disgusting. I feel fat. I have never felt fat before in my entire life, yet these past few months, I've felt disgusting.
I think deep down, I've always felt like the ugly friend of the pretty girl that gets the handsome guy. I know that its not always about looks, but honestly, it has to be to some degree. Guys don't flirt with me at school. Guys don't want to hang out with me at school. I feel big and awkward. I feel like I'm back at puberty all over again. I hate it.
I looked in the mirror and wanted to cry. I don't think I'm that ugly. I just feel ugly. Its a weird situation. |

I bought myself a Mark Hoppus Fender bass in Seafoam and an amp plus the patch chord in like awesome condition for $500 today. This freshman had it and never played it and asked if anyone wanted it. I was totally the first to raise my hand.
I'm really excited to learn. I've been wanting to learn electric bass since I was 12 and just never had the money. I finally did thanks to my grandmother who passed away in February and lefty me a nice little inheritance. I think it was a really good way to spend some of that money. Nan always encouraged me in my endeavors as a musician. I'm excited.
Thanks Nan :) I love you and remember you everday. |

I really liked a guy, and it didn't work out the way I wanted it to. We are still friends, but I was really hoping for more. I am glad I told him how I felt, and I'm glad, for once I had the courage to really put myself out there, although I am unhappy with the results. I just really wish he didn't act like he was into me, or send that message...but at the same time I really enjoy that dynamic of our friendship.
I haven't really wanted to date anyone in a while and I havent really been looking for a boyfriend at all...and then I just started hanging out with this guy and I really thought we clicked.I haven't felt that way about a guy in so long and it felt soooo good. ::sigh:: but life goes on and he and I are still hanging out and whatnot so that is still a good thing.
I think at the end of the day, I am really lonely and I am tired of being the extra wheel on a bike full of couples... |
