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.
My inside source on all things Kofi (his Dad!) says that unfortunately there is nothing currently scheduled, but will try to let you know if anything is coming up.
It’s so nice to hear that. I’ve been hanging out here since February 2017, and I have no plans to ever leave.
I wouldn’t think so – when you tuck your pants, there’s generally an active tucking (or stuffing) motion needed with the hands, but when you put on a shirt, it tends to go above the pants without much hassle. But you can tuck your pant legs into your socks, and it’s a really good idea in tick territory.
Probs Construction. I am a wall after all.
It’s going to be a market, but there will also be a pop-up kitchen. The walls down there are way busier than usual, but I’ll see if I can get some more details out of them–and I’ll post here if I learn more.
Studies have shown that that’s only true up to a certain dollar amount – and not a very large one at that (See this article in Nature Human Behaviour: http://bit.ly/CashJoy). I would recommend trying to find work that meets at least your basic economic needs, interests you, and has a good forward path towards better pay and opportunities.
I’ll be here, but say hi to everyone for me.
Glad you’re happy & sharing your joy! Here’s the Harlem Gospel Choir singing “Oh Happy Day”: bit.ly/HGC-OhHappyDay
So many. The Oxford English Dictionary has over forty just for the noun and adjective forms, including some of the Urban Dictionary definitions. bit.ly/bc-nut. My favorite: “The projection or block at the lower end of the bow of a stringed instrument, to which the hair is attached, and which is now usually movable (typically by means of a screw) to allow adjustment of the tension of the hair. Also called frog.”
I don’t want you to do that either! I’m sorry you’re feeling that bad. Please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8355) right away, and/or immediately call Counseling Services (617-552-3310) or visit them in Gasson 001 and ask to speak to with the Psychological Emergency Clinician (PEC). If it’s not during work hours, call BC Police (617-552-4444) if you’re on campus or 911 if not. I and many, many people want you to get past this bad moment, and are ready to help.
