Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Here’s a recommendation in podcast form: The Incomparable network hosts podcasts with smart funny nerds talking about the movies, books, and TV they love, and one of their annual traditions is reading all the books nominated for the major sci-fi and fantasy awards and talking about them: bit.ly/bc-incomparable
It is paid. You can tutor for one or more courses. To become a tutor for a course, you need to have gotten at least a B+, and have a recommendation from your professor. The CFLC suggests you talk to the professor about the recommendation first, and then drop in to the center to fill out a form. It’s serious work and you will need to get some training, but it seems like a very worthwhile and rewarding job.
Being physically miserable often goes along with depression, so you might try focusing on getting cozy. Hide under a heap of blankets until you warm up, or crank up the heat in your room until it’s comfortable to walk around in clothes you like. One of my helpers did the turn-up-the-heat trick and had a beach party in February. And yes, talking to other people can absolutely help too, so you might try that as well–another part of depression is often isolation. And of course, if the depression continues it’s a good idea to consider talking to someone at Counseling Services. http://bit.ly/BCCounselingSvcs
I am friends with them – they’re sweet and very smart – but unfortunately, they are a problem in the library. At times, they can be found in many areas. Our policy of allowing food in the library (which I strongly support, since it makes you humans so much happier and more productive) is also very attractive to my mousie pals.
Little known shower. Kudos for finding & using! May the rest of the items on your bucket list be equally achievable.
Woody is great and all, but because what I am every day is created by you I’d have to say Forky makes more sense to me. Trash!
I checked with my contacts in the Academic Advising Center, and they told me that, for this semester, it will not have a numerical value or affect your GPA. Once the grade is given next semester, it will count towards your GPA.
Words to live by. But just to say, the clays I know are very mature. Mineralogically speaking.
It is not okay for the faculty member to ask you out. BC policy states: “The University prohibits any faculty member or other employee from engaging in a romantic or sexual relationship or in any romantic or sexual conduct with any student currently enrolled as an undergraduate at Boston College.” If you’re a grad student, you can have a relationship with a faculty member in another department or school, but as you are taking a class with this person, that exception probably doesn’t apply either.

Figuring out what x equals.
These are all great questions that you’ll spend your life trying to figure out!
looks around thoughtfully. Ask me a different time I’ll give you a different answer, but for right now: The New Dictionary of the History of Ideas. It takes concepts like Determinism or Europe and gives you a quick history of how people have thought about it from the cooling of the Earth to the present. http://bit.ly/bc-idea-dictionary
May the odds be ever in your favor!
Be gentle with yourself. Maybe don’t jump right into the next relationship before you’ve had time to process this one (or maybe that’s exactly what you need). Everybody handles grief differently–and even if the relationship sucked, part of what you’re doing is grieving for something you spent a good bit of your life on.

I hope that life gives you reasons to smile soon!

If these friends are your people — interested in your story (and the real you), loyal, and you share mutual values with them– then you’ll just have to pick and chose the activities you can share (re: travel, dining, etc.). And accept you come from different socioeconomic circumstances. If you feel in your core, however, that you don’t share similar values with many of these friends and they don’t see you, considering redirecting your energy.
Your major does not limit you to a particular career. A few careers require a particular major, but even with some of those you can go back and fill in necessary classes later. It’s worthwhile to explore what you can do with a philosophy major with a counselor at the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career). You may appreciate this interactive site on where BC grads land by major: bit.ly/MajorToJob. The #1 answer may surprise you!
Totally agree. Philosophy blends well with lots of careers. Stop by BC’s Career Center and talk with a coach about what sorts of things philosophy grads do. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. http://bit.ly/CareerCtrMajors
It happens. Maybe try some electives. And very happy you like the blue, I think it goes well with my paneling.
A bathroom stall on the 2nd floor told me they appreciated their special note. I hear its a bit dreary opening and closing doors in that bathroom all day so I’m sure it could use a little extra motivation.
Walls reach full maturity pretty early, so I’ve been there a while. Gotta say this is a pretty sweet gig.
