Tales of the timetable
Dear Robin,
Do you have any tips for selecting courses for next semester? I’m in my first year of my BA and there’s so many options on the timetable I don’t even know where to start.
Sincerely,
Coursely overwhelmed
Hello,
It’s so freeing to be in your first year of a BA. You can seriously take any class and it will count towards finishing your degree. But there’s also the lab credit and PHIL 100 class you need to take. If you haven’t done those yet, do them, because regardless of your major, you’ll need them. Other than that, if you haven’t decided on your major, just take what interests you that also forces you to take a step out of your comfort zone. I took an introduction to media and communication studies class during my first year (totally not related to my major) and it was awesome. Get wild.

Date request
Dear Robin,
There’s this super cute girl in my psychology class and I want to ask her out but I haven’t even talked to her yet. How should I handle this situation?
Sincerely,
Crushin’ in class
Hey,
You haven’t even talked to her yet? So why do you want to go out with her? Just because she is cute? Well, maybe you should have a conversation with her because women are more than the cuteness of their faces from what you can see from the front of the class; they also have thoughts and opinions and likes and dislikes and favourite breeds of dogs and preferred margarita flavours, as do many people that aren’t women. When you talk to her you’ll probably learn if she’s actually someone you would want to spend a whole dinner date with, regardless of her cuteness. Talk then ask, and respect her answer.Â
