Dear Dumb Cat,
I've been in college for a few years now, and I still have a hard time making friends. I go to parties sometimes, but I feel like I just end up standing around in a corner trying not to make eye contact with anyone. I WANT to meet people, I just have such a hard time breaking the ice. I can hold a conversation once people approach me, but there must be something about the way I act in social situations that makes me seem unapproachable. I promise I'm not! How can I put myself out there so that I can meet new people?

Dear Shy,
This is a perfectly reasonable worry to have, and you'd be surprised how many people feel exactly the same way. Next time you're at a party, try not to put too much pressure on yourself. It may be hard to remember at first, but you are there to have fun, not to beat yourself up about your insecurities!
Keeping a positive mindset is important, but it can also be very helpful to have a strategy going into the event. Next time you're at a party where you don't know that many people, spend the first hour of the party somewhere you feel comfortable and safe, such as under a bed or in a closet where no one can see you. Then, spend the rest of the hours of the party there. Eventually everyone will leave and you can eat food off the floor.
Yours,
A Dumb Cat
Dear Dumb Cat,
So there's this guy in one of my classes, and I have the world's biggest crush on him. I catch myself staring at him for a good portion of the class period. How do I get him to notice me?

Thanks, Adam!
This is a fashion travesty and a fire hazard. Just like ALL of Christmas!

November 19th has seen some of the greatest, most noble achievements in cat history…and some that are better left forgotten.

Dear Dumb Cat,
All through high school, I had a mentor who was 6 years older than me and of the opposite sex. We were really close during those years, but our friendship came to a standstill after I graduated and entered college. Now that I'm in my third year of college and we've reunited, I'm starting to catch feelings for him. Is it completely ludicrous to confront him about it because of the way that we met? How would I even approach him about it? I'm really confused, and think that he might be the one. Help!
Sincerely,
IDK in NYC
Dear IDK,
Transitioning from a mentor/student relationship to one where you are on equal footing can be tricky. Instead of confronting this person with your feelings out of the blue, pick an evening when you are both planning on meeting for a casual drink or dinner. On the day in question, search through your home for a paper bag (any old grocery bag will do!) that is large enough for you to comfortably sit on. Walk around on the bag so that it makes a crinkling sound, occasionally ripping off pieces of the bag with your teeth and leaving them scattered around you on the floor, until you have a lovely, crinkly paper bag nest for yourself. Sleep in your paper bag nest all the way through the night and into the next day.
Yours,
A Dumb Cat
Dear Dumb Cat,
I am attending university and my roommate is a total slob! She leaves all her stuff in the common areas. She put her storage in front of my dresser. And, to top it all off, she uses drugs inside the room. I don't know how to bring this up with her. What should I do to make my room livable again?
