DEAR DIGEST

Dear Digest,
“I would like to think that I am up on the newest trends and fashions, but I must admit I don’t think I’ll ever catch on to the new “old” look that’s in. I guess everything isn’t for everybody. With that said, when did straight leg pants, and bright colors become the “it” thing for males? I remember when it was described as “gay” to wear certain colors and to rock fitted jeans, now it’s hard to find a “straight” guy not dressed like that. So my question is, when, if ever will this trend be over, because it is becoming hard to tell who’s a homosexual and who is not.”
Get at Me
DEAR GET AT ME,
So you like the metro sexual type of guy, you know the guy that wears his shirt as tight as yours and in some cases even tighter. And leaves you wondering do they have that shirt in my size, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Before actually talking to them just observe the people outside the clothes; look at them, and notice who they hang out with, is it girls or guys? He could be just a slave to fashion like you, so don’t judge him. I also want you to keep in mind that it’s just a trend, here today and gone tomorrow.
Dear DIGEST,
“I never thought this would happen but I have a HUGE problem with my roommate. When we first moved in everything was GREAT but as the semester progressed, he is getting on my last nerves. Every time we go out somewhere he acts a COMPLETE idiot and embarrasses everyone who is with us. He is unknowingly rude, arrogant, sarcastic, and obnoxious!! The bad thing about it is that he thinks we are so cool and great friends. To avoid straight beating him up, what should I do.”
Bothered Roommate
DEAR BOTHERED
ROOMMATE,
Ok, don’t risk your collegiate career over something like that!! I suggest that you tell him how you feel when it’s just the two of ya’ll talking, but if that doesn’t work, try and get another roommate. If he’s rude, arrogant, sarcastic and obnoxious, nine times out of 10 he knows it!!
Dear DIGEST,
“I paid my fees on December 13, 2007. I have yet to receive my refund of over payment. I as a student rely on this money for numerous things. Teachers want us to have books and materials, but if I’m broke I can’t buy them.”
Henri Bradford
DEAR HENRI,
Ok, it’s obvious you can’t wait on your refund check!! You knew school was starting Jan. 9th, books for each semester usually run about $400 to $500. That’s about two weeks of work somewhere. I suggest you prepare for what you want, get a job. In addition, you can keep checking with financial aid to see if your loan is posted.
