Social media things
Dear Robin,
The other day I liked someone’s photo on Instagram, and then they DM’d me saying that I had to post an old photo of myself with the caption “until tomorrow.” Like, what? I know I don’t actually have to do this, but how do I even respond to the message? They’re like a medium-level friend, so do I be mean and ignore them or respond with something witty?
Sincerely,
Until tomorrow-ed
Hello,
There are several things we need to conquer during this pandemic: our intense boredom, watching The Office for the eighth time, and any sort of social media challenges. We shouldn’t blame these poor souls for getting involved in such trends; it’s society’s fault. But we need to put an end to this by outwardly refusing to take part in these challenges so the next generation won’t follow. So reply with something bold and sarcastic and make it known to all that you will not do as many pushups as you can in front of a camera.

The real game of life
Dear Robin,
I’ve been playing a lot of board games with my parents these days, and every time I finish college in The Game of Life, they chuckle at each other. Just because I’ve been at UFV for six years doesn’t mean I won’t graduate eventually, right? How do I earn their respect while keeping my cool during Life?
Sincerely,
Going to graduate
Hello,
Well every time they get to retirement in the game you should laugh because looking at the current state of the economy there’s no way any of us are ever going to retire, including them. If you want to get away from such life matters, play the Star Wars Game of Life because there’s no option to even go to college in that version, so they can’t laugh at you.
Robin
