The next three...

Hey,
Here are the next three installments of Mr. Advice Guy. (By here, I mean below.) There isn't one for Feb. 20 because that was the week of reading break.
By the way, I've obviously chosen a really plain design for this thing. If you have any suggestions for how I could change it, tell me.
Anyway, check these out and let me know what you think. Seriously, I want feedback, positive or negative:

#4) This letter was written by Jen Robertson, which won't be at all surprising to anyone who knows Jen.
This is a letter with which I kind of wish I had done more. Almost without fail, I wrote the column in the last half-hour or so before the paper had to go to print. So when I look at a lot of these, I see things that I would have done differently if I had spent more time on them.
Also, I apparently really like the word "struggle" in this one.

#5) This might actually be my favourite Mr. Advice Guy. I can't remember who sent me this letter, but I'm sure it was an Omega employee.
And I really have read a lot of Archie comics in my life. I'm not sure what that says about me.

#6) This is another installment about which I'm not overly excited.
The letter was submitted by Braden Dougherty, whose name I may be spelling incorrectly. Braden wrote some sort of technology column for The Omega last year.
I don't know what else to tell you. I like the start of this one, but it kind of loses steam at the end. Mr. Advice Guy has always been one of two things at The Omega that has a strict space limit, and thus a strict word count. This is one of many installments that ends really abruptly because I've run out of space.
