How did you get so nonchalant, Duke?
H: Long hair and chewing gum.
What do I do if he randomly ghosted me…like stopped “snapping,” stopped liking my spam posts, stopped replying to DMs…? No explanation or obvious cause either.
H: That which leaves was not meant to stay; unless you deeply care for this person and the relationship you have with them, the best thing is to move on just as they did. Trying to assume a reason or rationale just leads to confusion and allows the problem to hang over your head.
I still don’t know what I want to do, and I feel like a fraud when picking out my majors for college apps.
M: Trust me, I hear you! It took me forever to figure out what I wanted to do, but I realized that was because I believed everything was finite. It’s not. The point of a major is to explore new areas and learn new things about yourself through education. Even if the major you’re choosing on Common App doesn’t perfectly label you and your aspirations as a person, college is the opportunity to learn what does. Don’t put yourself down or discredit yourself for not knowing what you want, it is admirable to do thorough research and look into all possible options!
Is it weird if I’m a senior and I like a sophomore?
I: If the grades don’t touch…
How do I come out to my close friends and family to tell them that I’m a furry?
M: Usually I would say that sometimes, people are never going to understand or be compassionate towards you for being a furry. Or I would say that you should keep howling at the moon and rolling around in grass anyway, but I don’t believe
that. I believe you should hang up that fursuit while you still can. Best wishes!
I feel like I’m competing with my friends sometimes in terms of college, but I don’t want that to get in the way of friendship because I love them.
I: It’s normal to compare yourself to the people around you, but do your best to compartmentalize so that things like college don’t hurt your friendships. Maybe it’s best not to discuss college a lot with your friends, especially during application season. Try to remember that at the end of the day your friends aren’t your competition — they’re your friends, and you should be happy for each other’s accomplishments.
I think I’m in love with my sister’s boyfriend.
I: Boyfriends are temporary, but sisters are forever. We do not know what type of age gap you and your sister have, but her man is her man, so just don’t act on it and eventually your feelings will probably go away.
