I'm having a problem with one of my friends. We're not super lose or anything but were friendly. Recently I found out that she was going out with a junior(we're both freshmen). They only went out for a month before she cheated on him with his best friend. Her ex got really mad because he really liked her. After that she acted like nothing happened. I don't know if i should hang out with her anymore?

 

Hey girl,

 

What's between her and the guys is her business -- it doesn't affect your friendship, so don't let her go just because you think she made a mistake. You could talk to her about it if the time comes, but since it doesn't involve you, it might be a good idea to let it go.

Modmodmod,
My bf and I go to diff schools, so it's been a bit since we last saw each other. We're going to the movies with a couple buds, but I have nooooo idea what to wear...HELP!




Hey girl,





Movies are usually pretty casual, so jeans and a tee is probably a safe bet. If you dress up too much, you might look like you're trying too hard!

Mod,
Tomorrow me and my friend, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend's friend are all going to double date (Laughing) and possibly go ice skating, then on saturday we're gonna go out again and go bowling then go to denny's, but WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?! :O thanks mod, love u guys! Laughing




Hey girlie,

For tomorrow, try wearing a pair of skinny black jeans, a bright tank top and a fun thick sweater on top. You'll actually work up a sweat while ice skating, so this outfit (plus gloves) will be enough! You could also accessorize with a cute pair of earmuffs or a head scarf. Bring a coat though for afterwards. 




As for bowling, stay casual - the same jeans, a cute flowy trapeze top, hair in a pretty braid...and don't forget SOCKS! <3
