Dear Papa Jon…

Q:

Hello Papa Jon,
The snow is killing me. I am slipping and sliding EVERYWHERE. How do I stop this chaos?
Sincerely,
Slippin’ and Sliddin’

A:

Hello my slippery friend,
I have a couple options that you might be able to use to increase traction. One, spray some hair spray on the bottom of your shoes. Two, wrap duct tape around the toe of your shoe. Three, GET SOME BETTER SHOES. I know this has been the worst winter in eight years, but you better have some good shoes on hand, just in case.
You traction friend,
Papa Jon

Q:

I live off campus and I don’t know how to stay warm… I tried to convince my roommates to turn on the heat but they don’t want to pay for it. How do I stay warm?

A:

Hello my Chilly Friend,
Oh my gosh, paying for heating is SO expensive. The way I am getting through this cold patch is by wrapping myself in some big blankets and pulling out my warmest socks. Also, the heat at school is included in your tuition (thanks Seattle U). So go hang out in the library or the student center where you can enjoy the heat and watch some Netflix!
Burrrrr its cold in here,
Papa Jon

Q:

Hi Papa Jon,
I am really nervous about getting into one of my classes for next quarter, what should I do?
Sincerely,
Every SeattleU Student

A:

Hello, are you thirsty?
I just found out today that cuffing is when people try and find their bae to cuddle up with for the cold months! So, that means you better watch out for those thirsty classmates who might be on the prowl for someone warm to spend their time with. The cold months are coming, we all better be prepared.
Want to be my boo?
Papa Jon
