Solicited Advice

Solicited advice is a weekly column where an underqualified anonymous guru answers the questions you want answered. This won’t include the stock-standard, sugar-coated advice you’re used to hearing – we’re talking about the truths that are REALLY on your mind.

How to make cool tiktoks? 

Ah I see, a question as old as time itself. While I am a bit of a creator myself, I am yet to be launched into victoriaparis stardom. Anyway, as someone very much not qualified to comment (my post yesterday got 2 likes and one of them was me), I think that the key is to post stuff you'd like to watch. I feel like this applies to most things we create. This bitchy silly little column? I know I would read this. Seems highly goofy to make something and expect other people to digest it when you wouldn't. Imagine inviting strangers to your house and feeding them dog food while you eat something yummy like tomato sauce on bread.  
 

How to save money as a student? 

In terms of practical things to do, write out all your monthly/weekly expenses and your income. Figure out how much you're spending and what you're spending too much money on (I went through a phase of spending like $50 a week on ice-cream while working three jobs lol). Figure out if your spending aligns with your values. For example, me eating $50 of ice cream did not align with my values, as I was brainwashed into wanting to be skinny. If you do the naughty act of transferring out of your savings, open a savings account with another bank and then it's harder to do that, and puts a bit of distance between you and your bad decisions. And if worse comes to worse, just ask the bank to print more money.  

Bonus tip: never buy drinks in town. Binge drink before you get there. Most hospo bosses are evil! Deprive them of your money!  
 

How to grow sex appeal?  

Hmmmm. I guess know your audience and know why you want to grow your sex appeal and go from there. We as humans have in intrinsic sex appeal and if you can expand on that, rather than manufacturer some, it's going to come across as more authentic, and I for one think that authenticity is sexy. I remember in high school I'd read Creme and Girlfriend in the library and it would say to look up through your eyelashes at your desired partner, idk... maybe try that.
