Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Given that the BC football team was in the Top 25 earlier in the season, I can understand how a lot of folks feel really disappointed with how things have gone this year. It seems as if there’s a growing number of fans who believe the team can and should be doing better. A few of the team’s defeats were by 7 points or less, so one can hope the team is capable of getting more wins in the future.
You are not your grades, or your work, or the idea of yourself that you or others have. Be gentle with yourself, maybe talk to your advisor and some faculty in your major about what you could improve, but don’t take it as a judgment on you, because it’s not. Figure out what you need to do to get where you want to go, let people know about it, and you will sometimes find that the world finds ways to help you. I have great confidence in you, you’ll be fine.
I am grateful for all of you coming to visit me. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
They can be? I suppose the concern here is that an actor could act like they are interested in you even when they’re not. In reality, there are plenty of people that aren’t actors by trade that can be good at acting or faking emotions (part of the definition of psychopathy is the ability to do this). And there are plenty of bad actors that try to make a living out of it. Actor, as a profession, doesn’t tell you anything about whether the person wears their heart on their sleeve, is private, controlling, manipulative, loving, introspective, etc. People run a wide gamut, and their chosen profession usually doesn’t tell you much about them more an any stereotype about any other group of people.
I’m touched by the invitation! I will be there in spirit; please let me know what you thought of it.
Disney employs some good songwriters. From Dumbo to Frozen, it’s a rare Disney film without a few good numbers.
According to latest (2018) CDC data (bit.ly/BabiesByMonth), for the US , August, followed by July. I expect the cause is sex during the months of November and December…
Try not to take it personally if someone you like doesn’t feel the same way about you. The fact that you were brave enough to express your feelings is something a lot of people struggle with. Being brave enough to express your feelings should give you inspiration for trying again in the future if things don’t work out.
If that’s the case, it does seem like it could be awkward, though I’m sure a crisis counselor in a small community like BC is accustomed to being discreet. I would suppose the SSW and a student could make an arrangement in which they weren’t the student of someone who had responded to them in crisis. If you’re concerned about such an eventuality, talk to UCS about it: bit.ly/BC-counseling.
My diagonally-oriented distant cousins the roofs are very hush-hush about their access points because they don’t want to harm anyone, and are aware they’re both dangerous and tempting destinations to humans who like views & solitude. If you like heights and views, my 5th floor windows are quite nice. Or how about a hike up a local hill instead? I recommend Peters Hill in Arnold Arboretum (not far & an easy walk) or the Blue Hills for something a little more challenging (also further & not on public transit).
I wouldn’t advise it. Discovery would lead to removal and fines (bit.ly/ResRules) Why not come visit our lovely therapy dogs when they come back to the library in December? Dates and doggos will be posted!
I’d encourage you to get in touch with the Office of International Students by email to make sure your view is heard.
I would say making the effort to communicate and offering support are some of the best things you can do for someone who is depressed. Your attempts to reach out may be met with some unpleasant reactions, but I would still say showing that you‘re willing to help someone who‘s dealing with something like depression can hopefully go a long way with helping someone overcome a negative mindset.
It’s logical. But complex.
The old fashioned way to do this still works. Unfortunately, it involves talking to people. Text your crush. Talk to that cute person at the party or after class. Say hi to more people than usual. Accept that there may be some rejection.
Move into space, aim, press circle (sometimes square), and hope for the best. If I score, I celebrate. If I miss, I blame scripting.
There’s an interesting rumor involving the two brands. Supposedly, Stephen Curry lost interest in becoming a Nike athlete after a disatrous presentation intended for Kevin Durant was mistakenly shown to him. While Nike has a well established reputation as an athletic apparel giant, it will be interesting to see how Under Armour tries to make a name for itself going forward.
If you’re talking about iDKHOW, I’m not sure where St. Paul comes in. And vice versa. You have done a rare thing. You have baffled the Answer Wall. Poll: Is this post talking about: A) An actual saint named Paul B) iDKHOW C) Duh! It’s so obvious.
My cousin the bell tower, in spite of their frequent ringing, is mute on the subject of access. There’s a clue (bit.ly/bells-clue) but it predates renovation. Here’s a bit of a virtual tour: http://bit.ly/BCM-gasson, and another: http://bit.ly/burnsblog-gasson.
<3 for you, <3 for all!
My helper is typing up this answer on a computer whose microchips involve quantum mechanics, and looking at the words on an LED screen which does too. But there’s really no way to know unless you take the class. Except that once you do, that changes the experimental conditions. It’s complicated. Here, read about a cat. http://bit.ly/bc-qm
I think you’re probably fine, whatever your sign. Do you mean that you have characteristics attributed to Gemini in astrology books? Take a look at some of the books on the 5th floor in the BF 1700 range; you might find some wisdom there.
