Poets have grappled with that question too, so I’ll offer you what Ursula K. LeGuin offered: “the reason why I’m sitting
here writing this, is that I’m trying
to make this thing” and “This thing I am making is my clothing soul/
I’d like it to be immortal armor,/
sure, but I haven’t got the makings.” You can read more of her exploration here: https://www.ursulakleguin.com/blog/130-poem-written-in-1991

Two answers. In the privacy of your own home or headphones, play whatever you like whenever. But in public spaces I’m a traditionalist: after Thanksgiving.

On the whole I’d rather not, but you might be interested in the Brill Handbook of Scientology, a collection of essays by scholars on a variety of aspects of new religions and Scientology: https://bit.ly/bc-scientology

I believe in you! If you want some help not to just pass, but excel, I highly recommend arranging a tutor through the CFLC. Just be aware you’ll need some lead time, as they get very busy at this time of year. bit.ly/BC-connors

I’m not an academic advisor, so honestly I shouldn’t attempt to weigh in. Talk to your advisor. But here’s some general advice that might work at any college: in your major I’d recommend trying to knock out at least one class that’s a prerequisite for some higher level classes you want to take in the future. Maybe also knock out a core requirement: Lit Core might be a fun change of pace from finance.

I cannot choose between schools, I love them all equally!

Take a piece of blank paper and make a small dot anywhere on it. Imagine that the dot represents what any given person knows about Everything, and that the blank space represents the rest of human knowledge. Your intellectual life will be about exploring the blank space. Be cheerful about learning new things and discovering things you are wrong about, and be gracious with others who might or might not have this image in mind. Truth-seeking is a collaborative activity, not a competitive one.

I don’t know DD but I’m sure they’re an interesting, wonderful person regardless of the nature of their hair.

What can I say? My assistants are enthusiastic. We should all be so lucky as to have enthusiastic friends!

To be bowl eligible, the Eagles need to win at least 6 games. With a 4-3 record, it’s certainly possible, though with upcoming games on the road against teams ranked in the top 5 (Notre Dame and Miami), it’s gonna be tough. Here’s hoping they can beat Florida State or Sycrase on the Heights, especially since bowl games are soon going to be a thing of the past!

Let yourself feel the moment; when future worries pop up, gently remind yourself you’ve already handled a ton and can tackle whatever comes next. Keep the vibe relaxed, stay connected with friends, and trust that you’ve got this!
