Dear DG,
I’ve notice that at the end of each month, you always ask your followers what they like about The DG Blog. Why do you always ask that same question on a monthly basis?

Dear Jonathan,
Those monthly questions I ask my followers are like an evaluation for me to see what I’m doing right or wrong. It also informs me about what my audience likes and what they want more of.

Dear DG,
Do you have any tips as to making fast cooking 30 minute meals? I’m not really good at cooking and as a college student who really has time to make nice meals anyways? Do you have some suggestions as to what I can do?
-Evan, CT

Dear Evan,
As a college student myself I can understand why you wouldn’t want to spend more than 30 minutes in the kitchen. You can always buy boxed foods. You can make a nice quick meal of Mac and Cheese, mash potatoes and fried chicken in half an hour. It’s not the same delicious homemade stuff but it’ll do for now. There’s always the option of buying fast foods but do that once in a while or for emergencies. Either way when you buy food, buy as much as you can eat not how much you can fit in the fridge. That way, you won’t have the problem of wasting food.

Dear DG,
I have a problem. My sister’s friend always comes over to my house and it does get annoying after a while. On top of that she doesn’t know when to leave. She’ll be there literally almost a day if you let her. How can I kindly tell her to leave?
-Samuel, S.C.

Dear Samuel,
There’s a reason why she might be in your house all the time. Either she lives by herself and has no one to hang out with or she doesn’t know when she over stayed her welcome. Just talk to her about wanting more privacy and tell her that there are other ways to communicate via Skype or just a phone call would do. Also tell her that you’re glad she visits but it doesn’t give you time to do the things that are necessary (like clean the house). Be honest with her and let her know what she’s doing that’s making you annoyed.
