The Bell Ringer is proud to present a new feature for your reading pleasure: Ask Oakley!
Whether online or in print, Oakley will be there for you! Who is Oakley, you ask? Oakley is the
cat we all have inside of us. He loves to take naps, eat food and rarely does anything
productive. He loves long walks to the fridge, and of course, he loves to cuddle up and watch
Netflix while someone plays with his hair (AKA fur). He is what we all want to be like: sweet,
speaks his mind and always cares for you! Welcome to Ask Oakley! For our premier column, we
had Oakley’s friends send him questions that come up during this special time of year.

Our 1st Topic: “How to ask your crush out on a date?”

The best approach for asking someone is to do it in person. You should be confident, so be sure
to take extra time in the morning getting ready. Wear your best outfit, spend a little extra time
doing your hair and maybe squeeze in a face mask to give you that extra glow! Before you
make your big move, take some time and breathe. You got this! In the event that they accept
your offer, make sure you have some sort of plan in mind for the date. That extra step can really
show that you care and will ensure you have an awesome night! Good luck, and may the odds
be ever in your favor. #YouGotThis

To all you people who already have yo hunnies, I hope you made plans for Valentine’s Day. If
you’re looking for some great Valentine’s Day weekend spots, I have a lot of good ideas that
can be budget-friendly or a bit more on the expensive side. The best restaurants are:

1. Oliviana’s: They have the best pizza and pasta in the CSRA.
2. Craft and Vine: You can get a bunch of tapas and share.
3. Frog Hollow: You can go here if you’re feeling extra boujee.
4. Fuse: This is the spot if you’re feeling adventurous.

Now, before you go out to a restaurant on Valentine’s Day weekend, make sure you make a
reservation before going, nothing looks worse than showing up to the restaurant without a
reservation and being turned away because they’re booked. While going out is great, don’t be
afraid to stay in and make a nice meal and spend some time together. I know one of my
humans always love being surprised with sweet sentimental things by my other human!

And for the ladies out there, don’t think I forgot about you! As a pre-Valentine’s Day tradition, be
sure to get together and fellowship with your best girlfriends. This time of year is all about
sharing the love, and that does not have to mean romantic. Galentine’s Day is a perfect
opportunity to get together with your girlfriends for some much needed bonding time. Here are
some of my top picks for Galentine’s day:

1. Oliviana’s
2. Wine & Painting at Pinot’s Palette
3. Artsy Me
While Galentine’s day started off for girls, why should they have all the fun? I love to get
together with my bros and spend some quality male bonding time. Some of my favorite places
to go with my bros is:

1. Hooters
2. Twin Peaks
3. Buffalo Wild Wings

All of these places are great for grabbing drinks, eating some good food, and relaxing with your
friends!
