Dear Abby,
My roommate mutters death threats about me while sleeping. Is this cause for concern? Yours, Concerned for my life Hey Mr/Ms Life I was a little concerned at first but then I remembered the kinds of things MY roommate did when he/she was asleep. Some snoring, lots of gibberish, some giggles and lots of stares. So I wouldn’t worry about it! If I were you, I’d start talking to them when you hear them muttering. When people are sleep talking, they’re in a semi-conscious state, where you can sometimes talk to them and they’d respond. They’re usually very honest too. Ask them anything! They won’t remember anything the next day! Abbo |

Dear Arnold,
My roommate mutters death threats about me while sleeping. Is this cause for concern? Yours, Concerned for my life Dear Concerned for my life, Are you constantly in a state of terror? If so, go talk to Mary BZ and tell her you need a new roommate. Now. If not, at the very least get the Palmer twins to be your bodyguards. You deserve to live. Stayin’ alive, Arnold |
Dear Abby
I had a vision that I would marry this Grebelite man. Unfortunately, I don't really know him and it is quite awkward. How do I either pop the question or get him to pop the question? -Getting married next summer! Hey Summer Marrier, You’re in the right place for this vision to come true. Grebel’s number 1 goal is to fostering community. Number 2, though, is having lots of intermarriages within its own community. Here are some tips:

Dear Arnold,
I had a vision that I would marry this Grebelite man. Unfortunately, I don't really know him and it is quite awkward. How do I either pop the question or get him to pop the question? -Getting married next summer! Dear Getting Married Next Summer, Why are you in such a rush to get married? Ah. I understand. You must be in your last term of university and are feeling the pressures of finding a spouse soon! I give you my sympathy. There are such high expectations of us to find the one at Bridal – I mean Bible – College. You don’t want to spring this on him too fast or he will bolt. You seem like a very sociable person, so start hanging out with him and getting into interesting conversations at snack night. Then just happen to mention you had this vision (do not say it was about him). If he says he’s had the same vision, it is destined to be and you can set the date. Best Wishes, Arnold |
Dear Abby,
Boyfriends are hard. How do I get one without looking like I'm trying too hard? -Single and Ready to Mingle Hey Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle, It’s true! Boyfriends are hard (to come by), especially the sexy Grebel men that we have. However, being a girl at Grebel this year has its perks. There are more boys than girls, meaning that you have more options than they do. So take your pick! In order for you not look like you’re trying too hard, follow these steps:

Dear Arnold,
Boyfriends are hard. How do I get one without looking like I'm trying too hard? Sincerley, Single and Ready to Mingle Dear Single and Ready to Mingle, The foolproof way seems to be the simplest. Is there a certain guy you are into? If he’s not from Grebel give him cookies “that I just baked last night” *Ahem, thanks Grebel kitchen…* I think a few of those cookies will get you any guy you want. Grebel men are a bit more spoiled. Leave notes around his room and sign them “love, your secret admirer”. Find excuses to do a lot of things together. Walk to class, become intense pool competitors, play laser tag, slay trolls... Just the typical activities! Be sure to drop a few hints to get those wheels moving in his brain! Before you know it he will casually stop by your room and ask you out for coffee. It’s as easy as the ABC’s if you do it right! Best of Luck, Arnold |
Dear Abby,
How do I meet people from other colleges? Thanks, Curious about them Dear Curious, Good question! People from the other colleges are actually awesome. I don’t know what you could do to meet people from the colleges specifically, but to meet other UW students who aren’t Grebelite you could get involved in a number of ways.

Dear Arnold,
How do I meet people from other colleges? Thanks, Curious about them Dear Curious About them, Ask Maia Fujimoto’s brother. He has done a great job meeting people from another college! Not only that, I hear he is single and ready to mingle. Find more details on twitter #iammayafujimotosbro OR go to this site: [email protected]. It’s a site for people who want to meet people cross-college. The number of other people from other colleges who have the same desire will shock you. Go Mingle! -Arnold |
Dear Abby,
I am incredibly chocolate-milk deprived, since the new rule came out about limiting consumption. I'm so thirsty, what do I do?!
-Mad Cow
Hi Cow,
This was me when Jono was making that announcement
about the chocolate milk:
The simple way you can deal with this issue is by just having more chocolate milk during regular meal times. The misconception is that he was saying “have less chocolate milk in general”, but it was more like “have less chocolate milk during snack night!”
Good luck in your endeavors and here’s a joke for you:
What do you call an arab next to a cow?
A Milk Sheikh!
