Your urge to splurge makes all sorts of sense -- there's ads everywhere telling you to shop -- but you may need to resist the impulse for today.

Scenes from a Library:

Tara and Noelle are sitting next to each other in cubicles on the third floor of Mugar.

Tara: (whispering) Girl, there are a lot of cute guys here.
Noelle: (makes a face) There are?
Tara: Well, one. (tilts head to the right)
Noelle: (leans back casually to get a look) Yeah, he’s cute.

Tara spends the next five minutes trying to catch his eye. Even gets up and walks by his cubicle. Unsuccessful, she gives up.

Five minutes later, guy gets up and walks past where Tara and Noelle are seated.

Noelle: I think he’s gay.
