Dear Awkward Advice,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the semester, I didn\u2019t have the chance to watch much tv. During break, I had the entirety of Netflix at my disposal. I\u2019ve watched every episode of 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother, and Doctor Who available. Unfortunately, I\u2019ve also watched some shows that have been cancelled. I got hooked. I kind of got addicted, and I am seriously jonesing for more episodes of Heroes. What should I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go outside. Please.\u00a0 Seriously, just\u2026 go outside.<\/p>\n

Break has done nothing for my waistline. Between Christmas and New Years, I no longer have just a slight muffin top. Now my body is a muffin. Do you have any advice to help me lose those pesky lbs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Biggie,<\/p>\n

There are some tried and true ways to lose that winter weight. (Atkins, bowel cleanses, solid grapefruit diets, etc.). But, of course, these are not for everybody. Then there is the far less effective way \u2013 diet and exercise, but few people believe that hokum will actually work. I suggest procuring a tapeworm. It\u2019s all the fun of eating without the unnecessary process of actually gaining any nutrients from it at all. Trust me; you\u2019ll be swimsuit ready by spring. Well, that, or dead. Just swallow a tiny little tapeworm with roughly 8 oz. of your favorite beverage. Works like a charm! Tapeworms can be found in a black market near you or in the undercooked meat in your favorite third world country.<\/p>\n

Yours,<\/p>\n

\u00a0I just finished my first semester in college and boy was it one hell of an experience. I\u2019ve made amazing friends, I have a wonderful boyfriend, I\u2019ve been sick countless times, and I even experienced the college workload. Being a college student isn\u2019t an easy task, classes were rough. I know I am not the only one (being a freshmen) who had a rough semester, but I was wondering, what is the best SERIOUS advice you can give someone when it comes to a new start in the spring???<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear JustWondering@Hood,<\/p>\n

New starts in the spring are easy peasy lemon squeezy because it is a new year!\u00a0 For all your fellow classmates know, you can come back a completely new person.\u00a0 Brand new.\u00a0 So new, that your amazing friends and boyfriend might not even know that it\u2019s you.\u00a0 Starting new best begins with a change about a physical attribute.\u00a0 Try a new haircut, a new piercing, a tattoo that says \u201cMom\u201d on your arm, or plastic surgery.\u00a0 That would def lead to a new start for the spring.\u00a0 Next, adapt a new attitude.\u00a0 If you were really sweet last semester, become a BAMF.\u00a0 Everyone secretly wants to become a BAMF.\u00a0 Basically, the Spring semester is always tougher than the fall.\u00a0 Spring Fever tends to affect the masses.\u00a0 Everyone would rather romp around the quad then open up a text book.\u00a0 Without a new look and attitude, you may be lost out there.<\/p>\n

Yours,<\/p>\n

Hi!\u00a0 My friend\u2019s birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get him!\u00a0 Obviously, I am a college student, and money does not grow on trees.\u00a0 What good gift ideas do you have for a person that has a wallet the size of a pea?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/strong><\/p>\n

NeedtoImpress<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear NeedtoImpress,<\/p>\n

Everyone has this problem come up every now and again.\u00a0 Me personally, I just get everyone the same gifts every year.\u00a0 I think my dad has twenty striped ties in his drawer, and my mom has twenty snow globes on her dresser.\u00a0 My best friend since third grade has 11 bracelets that say \u201cBest Friend\u201d on them.\u00a0 Are these people impressed by this\u2014no.\u00a0 But I present stability, and that is important to.\u00a0 Since this seems like a very important birthday- try to get your friend something lasting- like a lawn mower or a hammer or a sock puppet.\u00a0 Just make sure it comes from the heart!<\/p>\n

Yours,<\/p>\n
