Submit a question to Recess' new advice column, Tea Time

Here at Recess, we understand that life can throw us curveballs, from break-ups to workplace dramas and everything in between. Sometimes, life's most gnawing questions aren't easily posed to friends or family — which is where Tea Time with Alice comes in. Alice is here to answer your inquiries, ease your woes and provide you with the insight only a Duke student could. And, because this is the arts and culture section of The Chronicle, she'll use the unique approach of hashing out your issues from the perspective of a pop culture lover. As the saying goes: What would Elle Woods do?

For our first column, we're taking questions related to the transition between summer and school, like your lingering doubts about an office affair or the anxieties driven by your return to Durham. Sounds like a problem you could use help with? Use the submission form below.
