Sass Attack!

Do you ever feel lost? Like you're not sure which direction to take in life? Let's face it - sometimes we need help navigating this crazy thing called college. That's why I'm here. Consider me your third-party, impartial columnist. You have questions, and baby doll, I've got your answers. Or rather, I can provide my spin on things. So sit on down and buckle up, 'cause you're in for a big ol' Sass Attack!
If y'all finding yourself in a hardship, seek me out at entertainment@thetriangle.org. Make sure to put "ADVICE" in the subject line. I got your back, sugar.
Last summer my girlfriend and I decided to get an apartment together. However, we just broke up. We have the lease for another two months. What should I do?
Ok, so I'm going to be harsh. You are in a college relationship. Yes, it may develop into a strong future; however, at this point it is still unpredictable where the relationship might be in the next few years. Therefore, you should never move in with your college girlfriend/boyfriend. You now know why. I can only imagine how awkward your current living conditions are.
As for what to do, your options are limited. My question is: whose name is on the lease? If it is yours and not hers, you can evict her. Not nice, but an option, none-the-less.
Let's say her name is on the lease. You cannot ask her to move out. I would suggest finding a sublet for the remainder of your current lease.
There is also the option of sticking it out as long as you can be civil. You are an adult - think of it as a life lesson in dealing with a bad situation. Next time you will know better.
I think I over did it this weekend. I drank so much Friday night I barely remember what happened. All day Saturday I felt like hell. I never want to drink again, but I love going out on the weekend. What should I do?
I raise a martini to you - I wish I could stop drinking. This is a big issue for so many of our fellow students. And in my experience, it's nearly impossible to go out without drinking. So, let's face it, unless you stay indoors on the weekend, you are going to have to practice a little self control. Not easy, I know. So make it easy.
