Or bodacious red, if you prefer… In Vino Veritas isn’t around to judge you
February is the worst month. It’s freezing cold, there’s nothing left of the holiday spirit (320 days till Christmas doesn’t really have a ring to it), and the sting from the 1L recruit PFOs hasn’t quite subsided yet. And to top it off, all your friends are going out for dinner dates and the closest thing you have to romantic contact is avoiding your classmates on Tinder.

You’re in law school and bae is in another city: “Going the Distance”
Whether bae is in a different time zone, out of town for work, or just goes to Osgoode (basically a different city), you can console yourself with the fact that you don’t have to share the wine tonight.
Settling into the single life: “How to be Single”
This one is kind of self-explanatory. Also, Robin’s hard-drinking habits and ability to show up to work after partying until the wee hours of the morning are almost guaranteed to make you feel really good about yourself.
You’re in a happy, fulfilling relationship:
