How do people figure out what they want in life? I’m 18, in my second semester at a college I don’t like and I have no idea what I want to do. It’s scary!

it’s totally scary, but it’s also really exciting. after 18 years of having a default plan (school), you get to use your big sexy creative brain to decide what you’re going to do. somebody told me that the best thing to do is think about the life you want to have and use that to decide what kind of work you’re going to do.

what made the pen pal thing take so long? (i’m not trying to be mean; i just want to see if i can come up with a way to help!) (sorry i always get afraid that people will misread what i’m saying on the internet.)

don’t worry, it gotcha. it took a long time for a lot of reasons. matching people up took a while because i had to match languages and ages and a few little requests here and there. what really took forever was sending out the emails. i tried to write a mail merge script but that just wasn’t working, so julia and i sent them out in between 40 hour a week jobs, getting ready for college, other autostraddle stuff and just life in general.

hi i need an article about how to make a relationship work, stat. she is just entering college and i’ve been in it for a while. different schools. can see each other but not enough. how do we keep in contact but not make it too routine or expected burden?

have you met our new lesbianagettes? nita’s going to college and her girlfriend’s still in high school and they do cute stuff like make giant jars of luuuurve notes.

Ask Laura if, why, how, when, or what.

“All this had to be accepted. Living did not mean one joy piled upon another. It was merely the hope for less pain, hope played like a playing card upon another hope, a wish for kindnesses and mercies to emerge like kings and queens in an unexpected twist in the game.”
Lorrie Moore from her new short story, “Referential”, out in this week’s issue of The New Yorker.
