Ask Ali: Dr. Grits Carren
February 15, 2012 • Ali Jawetz, Online Editor-in-Chief
Dear Ali, I recently moved on from a job where, let’s face it, I was worshipped as a god. I was replaced by a “worthy” and “experienced” individual, let’s call her Bliss Maker. Now, Bliss is a lovely woman, but I’m pretty sure that the community does not accept her as they accepted me....
Ask Ali: Daddy Issues
January 16, 2012 • Ali Jawetz, Online Editor-in-Chief
Dear Ali, I’ve been in conflict with my father lately. He is rude and treats me poorly, treating me like a familiar friend rather than his son. However, if I come home 10 minutes after curfew or if I don’t call him at all hours telling him where I am, he goes on a belligerent tirade, yelling and...
Ask Ali: Rejected
December 21, 2011 • Ali Jawetz, Online Editor-in-Chief

The person who I like is not very interested in me, but loves to play with my feelings. Both girls are friends with each other. I just want a chill girlfriend and to get...
Ask Ali: New and Friendless
November 3, 2011 • Ali Jawetz, Online Editor-in-Chief
Dear Ali, I recently moved here from Virginia, and started as a sophomore at WJ. By sophomore year, most people already have their friend groups and it’s hard to find one that I fit into.

September 26, 2011 • Ali Jawetz, Online Editor-in-Chief
Dear Ali, I have problems with women. Mostly, I don’t know how to articulate myself. First, there is a very smart sophomore girl, who I will call “Mary” for the purposes of this letter. I have been stalking her since last year, and while I go out of my way to say hello to her in the hallway,...
