Obi Wan Kenobi had Luke Skywalker. Meryl Streep had Anne Hathaway. Regular Coke had Coke Zero. What do these unusual pairings have in common? The first name was the master, the teacher, the one who came first and started it all. The latter is the successor, the one who will carry the hopes and dreams of the master and the people once the master is gone.
Over the last two years, I have been writing about my various exploits and adventures as a (for the better part of that time) single woman trying to find love or at least a body to lie next to on this campus. I have enjoyed my time as your sexual guru, and I hope that I have made you laugh, cry and maybe, just maybe, think about who you are about get naked with.
As I graduate in May, I realize that now I must find a replacement. While I accept that no one will ever replace me, someone can at least attempt to fill the void and entertain the College campus with new sexual escapades, advice and shenanigans.
Who is this person? Who could fill my Chanel ballet slippers? Maybe it can be you!
Some recommendations from me about who should fill the position after I leave:
1. I admit that my column is seriously lacking in testosterone-themed topics, so I would love to get some male influence into the mix.
I am sure there are guys out there who would have a lot to offer to the College community in terms of sexual advice, stories and their own personal point of view.
2. You have to be ready and willing to put yourself out there. I have been called names, challenged and even reprimanded for things I have said in my articles.
A new writer needs to understand that as a member of the press, while you have the right to write anything you like, your readers have the right to comment and criticize, constructively or not. Do not take this personally, but be prepared to listen to your readers and take their comments without taking them the wrong way.
3. Watch yourself. While a column about sex and relationships that will be read by students all over campus may seem like the best place to vent your frustrations about your ex, know that many people will be reading what you say.
