Let’s be honest: When you’re faced with a dilemma, your mind is racing with unanswered questions. We’re always rushing over to our friends in search of a voice of reason, looking to Google for the best answers or flipping through old magazines to dig up the best help we can find.
For college students, there will always be a need for advice, for solutions to situations that come up in everyday life. Anything from how to keep your roommate from stealing your groceries, to where to buy books that won’t kill your wallet, and even how to muster up the courage to ask out the one you’ve had your sights set on. Fortunately, when those problems arise, The Daily Cougar advice column is here to help.
Because other magazines and newspapers usually have an advice column or a feedback line, it’s only fitting that The Daily Cougar has one, too. I know that there are plenty of people on campus who are clueless about how to resolve an issue and need someone to shed some light on their situation or offer a word of advice. Let’s be real, though — I’m not an expert on anything.
What I do know, however, is that people have come to me with their troubles and I’ve always done my best to steer them in a direction that would benefit them. Even if it’s something small, like deciding which movie to see this weekend or making restaurant recommendations to folks that are new to Houston — simply put, if you need advice, look no further.
This column is open to questions concerning relationships, dorm etiquette, finances, family, friends, study habits and just about anything else that a college student is concerned with.
I will answer your questions knowing that you need a little guidance and direction in the best way that I know how. While I’m very straightforward with my answers, I aim to be extremely helpful and mindful of your situation.
Feel free to ask anything. Also feel free to give me feedback and let me know how I’m doing. I look forward to helping you with anything and everything you can possibly throw at me.
