LIFE ADVICE
Q1: So I was strolling along, minding my own business. It’s Tuesday at 3:00 in the afternoon and I’m done with classes. Yung boi was blessed enough to have a no class Wednesday, so you know I was feelin myself. Got some hunnies and some homies blowin up my phone so I take my iPhone 6+ out of my pocket. The hipster that I am, I start scrollin through tumblr, you know, expressin myself and all. It’s a beautiful day out, and I’m wondering if my Wednesday will be just as nice. Next thing you know, there it is, Sunday’s forecast -- a low of 30 degrees with a chance of snow. Bruh. Swear I shed a tear. Share a word of wisdom and hook me up with a few things to prepare myself for the long winter ahead.OG_Simpy: I feel you homie. If you need a shoulder to cry on, email me and we can meet up. But back to the question at hand. Numero uno -- earl gray tea and some honey to top it off. Numero dos -- a bae to keep you from being lonely when it’s cuddling weather. Numero tres -- pop some Nat King Cole or some Frank Sinatra on that computer of yours and let yourself become soft as a sponge.OG_Ghost: It's that time of year when the weather is starting to take a turn for the worst. Luckily, you still have a few weeks before its all out snow and misery. Load up on enough hot chocoloate and tea to keep you going.You just need to survive these last few weeks before getting a well deserved break.Q2: So Halloween is coming up and there seems to be numerous pumpkin carving opportunities around campus. I was in grill and heard some people plottin, that was when I thought to myself, “step ya game up boiiiiiiii”. Above getting a 9.2 for the term, above asking that girl in my english class to EP, and above finishing season two of Avatar: The Last Airbender, my number one goal is to have the best pumpkin in all of Exeter. Work your creative minds and hit me with some magic.OG_Simpy: First of all, we applaud you for your high aspirations, and we’re with you all the way buddy. One, a silhouette of Tommy Song’s face. Two, ‘$WAG’. Three, ‘YOLO’. Four, ‘4 Da Boys’. With these four you should be set. If you’re really feelin ambitious, and your carving is precise, a Drake quote will do you justice on this one. Our blessing are with you.OG_Ghost: Take a trip down to the Dollar Tree and snag some pumpking carving tools. Try to get some of your less artsy friends to join in the carving so that your pumpkin, comparatively, is better.Q3: SO. Halloween costumes… I’m not trynna be a bum. I want people to love me. I want people to want me, to want to be me. I want people to see me and think, ‘success’. Show me whatydo with your noggins. Much love.OG_Simpy: Soulja Boy. 2Chainz. Bobby Shmurda. Walk your pretty self over to Walgreens and buy yourself some tinfoil (for the grills obviously), a fake afro, a few fake gold chains, and voila, you’re the most popular exonian in grill.OG_Ghost: Go to classes as a ghost. Like don't show up at all. If your teachers call you out for dicking, adamently defend the legitamacy of your costume.Q4: Hot trax?OG_Simpy: Peep em.

To all those who are feastin on that struggle soup, keep your heads up and work your hardest. Theres always ample time for both socializing and work, though it doesn’t always seem that way. Shift your priorities around, and try to do what makes you happy. Don’t let the weather get you down.
