Can we get Sour Patch in our mailboxes?
I actually love this idea! I think advisories or clubs or classes should initiate some sort of candy rotation where someone in the group brings in candy every week and delivers it (with a short note!) to everyone else’s mailboxes. Basically candy-grams but more regularly and without StudGov facilitation.
When will Lakeside get a ski bus?
Mm, not sure if this is my territory. This might be a question for the Athletics Department or the school administration. A ski bus is definitely an unlikely wish, but I just thought I’d include it in the column in case it catches the eye of an influential figure of the Lakeside community who might be able to create some magic for you. You’re welcome.
do i text him
YES, absolutely! It sounds like you just need motivation, so I’m bestowing you with all the encouragement possible. If you’re still unsure, start the text conversation with something casual, so if you change your mind or if he leaves you on read, you can back out of it without being embarrassed. I’m manifesting that he texts you back though! You won’t regret reaching out to him first, I promise.
how to make school less depressing
Well, this is a really important question, considering we are at school for 35 hours a week. Try to find enjoyment in your academics and learning — if there’s a specific topic in a class you find interesting, talk to your teacher or peers about your ideas on it, or take the time to do extra research into it. I know this is easier said than done, but it’ll help you feel more engaged. Also, find time to hang out with friends and reach out to new classmates during lunch and free periods! Take advantage of the breaks we get during the day to get out of the monotony and slog that a school day can sometimes bring.
How to deal with restlessness? I want time to speed up raaaaahhhh
Keep yourself busy! Hang out with friends, catch up on homework/study for tests, participate in an extracurricular activity. The busier you are, the less bored and restless you’ll feel. Trust me, you don’t want time to speed up though. Is it going to feel like 2024, as in, I blink twice and suddenly it’s over? This is such a real description of 2024! As a junior, I hope 2025 is NOT painstakingly slow, but I do predict 2025 will feel like much less of a blur than 2024. Is next year a leap year Unfortunately, next year is not a leap year, national election year, or Olympics year.
to hibernate or not to hibernate?? i’m so sleepy dude
Well, we just had a two-week long winter break, so I hope you hibernated then. Breaks are my favorite ways to catch back up on sleep. But, I hate to break it to you, we don’t have another break until midwinter break in late February, so I think you might have to work on your regular sleep schedule. Try to work your way backwards to a regular bedtime — if you’re sleeping at 1:00 AM every night, start by pushing your bedtime back 20 minutes every day until you reach a reasonable time.
how do I talk to girls??? going up to them and saying “what the sigma” hasn’t been working
In every single Tatler advice column poll, someone always asks some variation on “how do i get w rizz,” so you should know that you’re not alone in your struggles. A potential starting point for you would be to cleanse the Gen Alpha slang from your regular vocabulary — a few too many unironic “skibidis” is a lot of negative aura. Apart from that, just be natural and confident when talking to girls. Don’t worry, we don’t bite. advice on staying in touch with people once they move away (college, etc.)? I truly believe that if you’re close enough with someone, both of you will make the effort to stay in touch regardless of circumstances. But it’s up to you to keep up that effort. Take the time to FaceTime them when you’re both available in order to catch up. Swipe up on their Instagram stories. Try to meet up with them whenever they come back to Seattle to visit. Long-distance friendships are hard, but they can work!
Is 2025 divisible by three? Seven?
Yes, 2025 is divisible by three (2+2+5=9, a multiple of 3). However, it is not divisible by seven. Not sure what that means for you astrologically, but I wish you the best of luck in 2025 anyways.
