The Anarchist and the Couch Potato | Dear Daily Texan #1
March 23, 2023
Dear Daily Texan,
My roommate loves March Madness and won’t stop watching it. Every time I see her, she will be glued to the screen watching basketball. We’re not super close, but I want to get closer with her because we are living together next year, as well. How can I understand the madness of March Madness? Please help.
Dear reader,
If you don’t care about March Madness, why start now?
The Anarchist: When was the last time she expressed interest in something you liked? The next time she’s watching basketball, pick up the remote and turn it off.
The Couch Potato: If you really want to get close, maybe find some sort of common ground. Try using March Madness to set a recurring time to hang out together and watch TV. Once March Madness is over, find some other show you can both enjoy.
Dear Daily Texan,
I am afraid of running into my old friends on campus because we don’t speak anymore.
Dear reader,
You’re screwed.
