Q: I moved far away for college and have been struggling in ways I didn’t expect. With classes starting, I’ve been feeling guilty for being so busy and not being as involved at home. Honestly, I don’t know how to stay close to them…
Q: I’m a freshman, and it’s my first week here. My roommate already has a whole friend group and my orientation leader keeps saying “It’s a marathon, not a sprint,” like that’s supposed to help. I’ve already eaten alone at Dewick twice. Am I doing college wrong?
It’s good that you think of college as a high, because that means nostalgia has taken over and you’re remembering just the good stuff. In reality, I’m sure the last four years have consisted of avoiding laundry until you were down to your last pair of underwear, waiting 106 minutes for a Hodge sandwich and getting repeatedly burned by the sheer amount of nonchalant men on this campus. But right now, none of that matters. Celebrate your achievement. At the very least, you made it to graduation.
The sun is out, and Prez Lawn is the hottest spot on campus for athletes who think that shower shoes are an appropriate everyday choice and whose newest spring accessory is a 128-ounce plastic water jug. However, with that comes finals that quietly creep over the horizon, signalling that the semester is coming to a close. It’s bittersweet, as our time with you is also coming to an end, and we’ve truly enjoyed every minute hearing about your naughty little lives. For our final week, we’d like to offer you a rapid-fire advice session on all the questions and confessions we’ve accumulated over the course of the semester that have not yet seen the light of day.
Q: My boyfriend told me he loves me, but idk if I should say it back, and tbh it feels very soon. I like him a lot, but I’m not sure if what I’m feeling is actually love. What should I do?
Q: I’m still figuring out my friend group. Some people seem nice, but I’m not sure if they’re actually going to be my ‘forever’ friends. How can I tell the difference? I don’t want to get too invested in people who might not stick around, but I also don’t want to miss out on friendships that could actually last.
Q: Someone I hooked up with last year is now stalking me. He has my home address and everything. I blocked him, but now I’m worried that he’s gonna show up at my house. Should I go to the police or what?
Q: I’m in a situationship that includes everything except commitment and basic clarity. I caught feelings but I don’t think they’re ready to commit, so I’m wondering: How do I turn my situationship into a relationship?
Q: I’m late on my period… Should I tell my slink?
