What should I get for my first tattoo? 

Marlin’s full name in a heart.

Thoughts on hookup culture? 

I mean as long as everyone involved in consenting, it’s none of my business what y’all are doing in your sheets. 

How do you overcome failure? 

I have no experience with failure. 

What do I do when it comes to messy friendships… be petty back or…? 

Ok, this will take some work on your part, befriend your friend’s parents; do whatever you can to get on their good side. Once you get them to start inviting you over to spend time with them, you win. 

What are things to do in Plymouth when I’m bored? 

There’s a lot to do if you’re willing to do a bit of walking, the Ice arena often has open skating hours. There is also the pool down at Allwell North which is open for lap swimming. If you don’t mind a little heat and sweat the E-sports lounge opened recently, it has a large selection of games and even some VR headsets that you can use. While in town there is quite a few nice little shops, some highlights that I personally like are Lee’s Candy store, Ladders, and Rand’s. While a hardware store, Rand’s has a nice selection of unique sodas which could always prove to be a fun outing with friends. There is also this really cool club called the Clock which meets in Hyde 127 every Tuesday that has a lot of cool people. 

My ex-stepmom is remarrying and invited me to the wedding. Should I go? 

That varies depending on your relationship with her. If you like her, you should go as it’s clear that she wants you there. However, if you don’t like her this is the ultimate time to be spiteful, I’d recommend getting a nice Victorian-era ball gown, maybe finding someone to wear a matching suit, and just doing everything you can to one-up her. Be in every photo, knock things over, etc., and just try to always be the center of attention. 

How to dress for the cold winter? 

I personally like to use the penguin strategy, just find a group of people and huddle together in an attempt to retain your ever-dwindling supply of heat. Otherwise, I would recommend investing in nice socks and gloves, a lot of heat is naturally lost there. 

What should I get my boyfriend for Christmas?

Well, I don’t know much about your boyfriend, but you should get him something related to his interests, so you can always get him a shirt with your face on it. 

What should I try at d-hall?

The grill is usually a safe bet if you’re looking to avoid getting ill. I personally like to get the special, my personal favorite has been the quesadillas. If you’re just looking to spice it up I would recommend getting something from the salad bar, they always have soup and cold cuts.
