Ask Lexi: Boys, School And Plan B

“One time I made out with a guy for a ride home.”

Desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose...

Was he at least cute?

“I told a girl I like her. I've liked her for five to seven months and never told her until a few nights ago. I don't know why I told her. I wasn't planning to because I'm 5 years older then her and she's only in 10th grade. Even if she liked me, I wouldn't want her to be with me until she got the full high school experience. We were texting a few nights ago and I was joking about something. She said that I deserve someone better than her and I made the convo serious by saying, "but what if I want to be with you?" And it just got really serious from there. We're still friends and I'm ok with that, but now I feel like shit and I'm not getting better.”

Dear hopeless lover, large age gaps can get really tricky. Five years at this point in both of your brain development is a huge difference. I also believe you are doing the right thing by not pressuring her in to being with you and let things ride out and see what happens in a couple of years when she graduates. It is honorable to stay friends with someone even if they just want to be friends for a while. You know what they say; good friendships turn in to the best relationships. Don’t let that make you feel like shit. You have a great friend by your side for the next couple years, and hey, great girls are always worth the wait.

“What is your advice for a student transferring to GSU from another school?”

Dear newbie, I want to first start off and say congratulations! You just made a huge decision to pick up your whole life and move, which I know can be hard. I just transferred to this school this year from another university. The best advice I can give you is to get involved and meet more friends. I moved in early because of my sorority and I immediately got involved, and I feel more at home now than ever. Meeting new friends means you will have people to go to when you have “freshman” like questions. Also, get your head in the game and keep it there. It is very easy to slip up and get behind because every darty and frat party seem so important and you feel like you need to go to them all. However, if you're not careful, you will step back for a moment in a couple weeks and realize you are so far behind you don’t know how you can catch up. Let your old college go as soon as you can because Georgia Southern is a whole other ball game that requires a new perception. We can finally call ourselves Eagles. Lets represent it well!

“I hooked up with a guy and he didn’t use a condom. What should I do?”

First, I would suggest Plan B. It is pretty expensive for a college student but it’s worth it! The sooner you take it the better, just to be safe. The smartest thing to do after that is to immediately go see your lady doctor. If you don’t have one down here, ask some friends and they will know of a good one. They will be able to take a couple tests, and tell you very soon if there is something not so good happening down there. I always suggest never having unprotected sex. College towns are ranked second highest places to get an STD. Watch out and think smart. Next time just kiss the guy a little bit and tell him you want to hang out later, when both of you are sober!

Do you have a question that you would liked answered? Maybe you just have a funny story to tell. Click my link and tell me all about it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
