"Is He Interested In Me, Or Is He Just Really Nice?": #BABA 22
Amanda Reed

I don't know about you, but #BABA is 22! Without further ado, here's another rousing edition of Bad Advice by Amanda.

Amanda,

There's this guy I work with who is always really nice to me. Like, really nice to me (in a normal human way, he's not being creepily nice). Every time I help him out with something at work, he's like "Thanks, I really appreciate your help!" The icing on the cake: he came to my poetry reading last week and I didn't even tell him about it. All signs point to "He's interested," but he's also just a really nice guy in general (I'm pretty sure he tells everyone that he appreciates their help and is just a really supportive friend who goes to everyone's poetry readings). So, is he showing interest or is he just really nice?

I FEEL THIS SPIRITUALLY.

As someone who is both incredibly oblivious and bad at reading people, this question plagues my entire existence. The worst part is, you never know. You could be 10,000 percent sure and confront him about it, but then he's like "no, I don't like you, I'm just a decent human being who treats all other human beings decently #friended."

On the flip side, you could be 10,000 percent sure he is not into you, and then one day you're having lunch together and he's like, "YOU IDIOT I LIKED YOU I GAVE YOU ALL THE SIGNS," and you're just like "what signs?" and then you remember he asked you to hang out twice and you couldn't because of reasons and all of his interested advances flew over your head because you're an oblivious idiot when it comes to love/dating/anything involving people.

So, since this is so confusing, just ignore your feelings for each other and keep up this weird office tension you have. There's a good chance he probably has some weird obsession with Furbies that he doesn't want you to know about. Also, office romances never end well. Accept the fact you will die alone and that's not a bad thing because it means you can leave all your money to a college/place and get a building named after you. People who will spend your money when you die <<<<< building that will be there forever until someone else gives more money than you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
