COLUMN: The start to a relationship advice column

Getting good grades as a college student shouldn’t be too difficult, as long as you show up to class and do the work, you should be fine. 

However, figuring out your way through to a healthy and fulfilling, dating, relationship and sex life can be the most difficult part of being in your twenties.

Since I am a 24-year-old senior with two serious relationships and countless dates under my belt, I think I have plenty of experience to draw upon.

I have dabbled in online dating and subsuquently went on a few, surprisingly not awkward, blind dates.

I drove two hours every other week, to Novi, while in a long-distance relationship.

A previous boyfriend and I lived together after three years of dating and broke up soon after moving in.

I have been cheated on, heartbroken, met the parents, watched friends come-out and lost friends to abusive relationships they were in.

So beginning this fall I will be writing a relationship, dating and sex advice column to help those of you who need it, so hopefully you can then avoid some of the crap I have.

I am not majoring in psychology, but I have always been a person many family members and friends come to for advice, so I feel comfortable writing this column.

I am a very warm, open and straightforward person hoping to answer questions you might have regarding all kinds of relationships, including romantic ones, family, friends and roommates.

When it comes to any questions about your sex life (or your lack thereof), I will have to be somewhat particular about what I can or cannot print.

HOW TO CONTACT ME
