At the end of this past season, I took over a fantasy football team in a league that my friends run. Someone had quit on them, and they were desperate to get someone to fill the void, so they asked me--even though I’m not exactly a sports expert!

I have a friend who graduated a few years ago and works in marketing. He knows a bit about my interests and how I’m doing in school, and--at my request--he talked me up to a few people around his office. One of those people suggested that I would be a good fit for “digital marketing” and offered to get on a phone call with me to discuss it. But I’m not really sure what digital marketing actually is, and, to be honest, my friend was not the most helpful in explaining it. I think my friend doesn’t entirely know the ins and outs of it, either, and I’d hate to get on a call with this coworker of his and find out that I’m not interested in this stuff at all. Can the experts provide me with some background?

I’m been invited to go skiing with a friend of mine over break. That’s pretty cool, but there’s a problem: I have no idea how to ski. I’ve never been skiing in my life.

I have a bit of a weird fear that’s been bothering me. I worry about fires. I guess that’s not a weird thing to worry about, exactly, but I think it’s weird how much I think about it lately. In particular, I think about fires in tall buildings like dorms and apartment buildings. I know there was a bad fire in New York City last year, and it made me freak out a bit about how people get out of buildings like that when they’re on fire. If you’re at the top, aren’t you just trapped?

I’m graduating this year and, if all goes well, moving to a new city to work. I’ll have to a rent an apartment there on my own, and I’m feeling a little unprepared about that. I know there are fees and things to worry about when you rent, but I don’t know which fees to expect, and I don’t want to end up getting scammed by someone who takes advantage of my ignorance. What can the experts tell me about what to expect in the rental process?

I’m trying to help my roommate’s sister understand her options. Earlier this week, she decided to visit a former high school friend at UC Irvine for a few days. She had been planning the trip for several months and was extremely excited about it. Things were going well until last night, when she called my roommate from a hospital.

I’m going to graduate this year, and I have a job offer in a suburban area. That means it will be time for me to buy my first car. I’m a little nervous about that.

Recently, my family dog has been really sick. It’s been really rough on everyone. This was the dog that my siblings and I grew up with, and he was a real comfort for everyone when my dad passed away years ago. My dad was always kind of the one in charge of dog-related stuff (my mom never had a dog growing up), but we all got really close to the dog after he passed.

I could use a second opinion. I’m a college senior expected to graduate in May with a degree in nursing. I’ve been accepted into graduate school in New Jersey for my Master of Science in Nursing. I plan to become a nurse practitioner immediately after that.
