Adult Life | Doctor’s Orders

Luc Ljoka November 17, 2024
Dear Doctors, I’m graduating this semester, and I’m really anxious about going into the working world. I don’t feel ready at all. What should I do? Sincerely, Perplexed

Ask Abby (Or Analise): Opposites attract, until they talk politics — do party lines matter in relationships?

Analise Bruno November 3, 2024
Dear Abby: Election Day is coming up, and I’m kind of annoyed at my boyfriend. He’s voting against my political party. I told him that this makes me upset given some of the opposing candidate’s policies, but he won’t listen. I know I should probably agree to disagree, but that doesn’t sit right with me. Do you think we’ll ever be able to get past this?

Ask Abby (or Analise): Netflix and actually chill, rethinking college sexpectations

Analise Bruno October 27, 2024
Dear Abby: I’m a freshman and I want to hear your thoughts about sex. I feel like I’ve heard so much gossip and judgment around the act; and I don’t know what to believe. Is there a right time to do it? Is there a limit to the number of sexual partners I should have? I’m very lost.

Parental approval | Doctor’s Orders

Luc Ljoka October 27, 2024
Dear Doctors, I’m dating someone from another culture, and I’m not sure my parents will approve. But they want to meet him over the holiday. What should I do? Sincerely, Perplexed

Ask Abby (or Analise): Loving in the dark — should you post your partner on your Instagram?

Analise Bruno September 29, 2024
Dear Abby: Tell me, is it weird to want your boyfriend to put you on his Instagram? I got no post for National Girlfriend’s Day this year, and every time I ask him about it, he gets all weird. I don’t want to bring it up because then I sound like I’m forcing him, but shouldn’t he be proud to post me? Or am I just being dramatic?

Cold calling | Doctor’s Orders

Luc Ljoka September 29, 2024
Dear Doctors, I have this professor who always calls on me when I don’t know the answer. What can I do to avoid the embarrassment? Sincerely, Perplexed

Ask Abby (or Analise): The balancing act of love — does the man always have to love more?

Analise Bruno September 22, 2024
Dear Abby: I’m dying to know — do you think it’s true that for a relationship to work, the guy always has to love the girl more? I feel like I’ve always loved my boyfriends more, but things always fizzle out. Is it because I’m the one loving harder?
