Vegas break
Dear Robin,
All my friends are going to Las Vegas during reading break but didn’t invite me. Like the five of us are a group, we hang out together all of the time. I’m a bit confused as to why I didn’t get invited. They totally tiptoe around the subject of reading break, acting like I won’t see all their Instagrams when the time comes. What should I do about this?
Sincerely,
Lonely in February
Hey,
Obviously you need new friends. I hear the men’s and women’s drop-in basketball times on Wednesday nights in the UFV gym are a good place to meet people. Hopefully they won’t ditch you for Vegas like your ex-friends. If you can’t find anyone there that you’re into, start chatting people up as they wait in line at Triple O’s for their burgers in B Building. Burgers are a great talking point and will for sure get you a possie in no time.

Gran and Gramps
Dear Robin,
My grandparents are pretty clingy. I get that I’m their only grandchild, but they constantly call me to come over. I feel bad for saying no all the time, but I’m busy with work and school and having a semi-decent social life. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Crowded with grandparents
Hello,
I know the world thinks that old people are nuts and crazy, but I’ve got breaking news: they’re not that bad. If you feel bad for saying no to your grandparents all the time then goddamn say yes. It isn’t that hard. They’ll probably force-feed you delicious cookies that are fresh out of the oven. Talk about suffering.
Robin
