Dear Carli,
As an undergrad, I had it all: a flexible schedule, a vibrant social life, and best of all, access to Father's American Express card. Now that I'm in law school, all that has changed - for the worse. My schedule stinks, I haven't been to Athens in months, and worst of all, Daddy says I have to learn to be responsible if I want to be a brilliant legal scholar like Professor Stephens - so no more credit card.

To make a long story short, I need money - fast. I'm already in arrears with Cesar, and his goons don't mess around.

While I was on a date with (J),

Q from Recently Single: Okay so two weeks ago right before I broke up with my boyfriend I met a guy. Had a fun night, but in the morning he said that he wasn't asking for my number because I had a boyfriend. So, he lives close to me and is close with my mutual friends.. we're bound to run into each other at some point. He's not on facebook. I did happen to see his email address at the party from a list that was going around.. its really easy, like just his name, so I'm not a total freak.
