Dear Oppy,

I just finished my degree and spent my entire time at Stern writing and editing for The Oppy instead of doing, you know, homework. What do I do now?

Dear Oppy,

Covid is gone forever and as school opens up I’m ready to roll. With Spring Fling right around the corner, how do I find my Sternie love and ask them to the big dance?

Sincerely,

Spring Thing

Dear Oppy,

Attending DBis and developing DBi boyfriends was my No. 1 dating strategy. When will they finally come back!?

Sincerely,

No date since March 2020

Dear No date,

First of all, allow me to compliment you on your enterprising nature and your efficiency. Romance, international travel, and developing critical business skills all in one 1.5-credit span?…

Dear Oppy,

Why are finals in person?

Dear Is this a serious question?

Are you for f*cking real? Eli Manning didn’t win two Super Bowls by sitting on his couch! That’s just how he earns tons of money and gets to be on TV.…

Dear Oppy,

I’m writing in response to your Prom question. Burning Heart is a friend of mine, but what she doesn’t realize is that the object of her desires is also mine. I was there when she lit the fire…but the fire in my heart was already burning bright.

Dear Oppy,

I find myself in a particularly precarious position as Fall Ball approaches. I am in love with another Sternie and I want to ask him to be my date.

Being in love with this Sternie has been particularly difficult as I am trying to get a job at his workplace…which rhymes with Shmoogle.

Dear Oppy,

I am about to graduate next week, and I’ve been seeing a fellow graduating MBA student on and off for the past couple years. I’m staying in NYC and he’s moving to the West Coast. I don’t know if I should continue to try and make it work or call it. Help!

Sincerely,

Hopeful
