Why do I make friends with so many rich people?
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.
Umm… Don’t know what to major in.. I like philosophy but don’t wanna be jobless.
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
math courses offering in spring are so boring……
It happens. Maybe try some electives. And very happy you like the blue, I think it goes well with my paneling.
Have you seen the other sticky notes in the girls bathrooms?
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.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Walls reach full maturity pretty early, so I’ve been there a while. Gotta say this is a pretty sweet gig.
When will Kofi Kingston come to campus and how can I meet him?
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.
How long have you been helping us out?
It’s so nice to hear that. I’ve been hanging out here since February 2017, and I have no plans to ever leave.
If putting your shirt under your pants is called “tucking in your shirt”, then if you put your shirt over your pants, then are you “tucking in your pants”?
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.
What’s your favorite skill in Runescape?
Probs Construction. I am a wall after all.
What is BC building when you walk into lower?
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.
…should I try to get a better paying job that I don’t love…
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.
It’s Frog Time baby! You coming? Fulton 511
I’ll be here, but say hi to everyone for me.
Another happy day yeahh
Glad you’re happy & sharing your joy! Here’s the Harlem Gospel Choir singing “Oh Happy Day”: bit.ly/HGC-OhHappyDay
Define the word “Nut”. How many definitions are there
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 to be the next BC student who commits suicide.
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.
What’s your favorite font?
Courier, of course! Once upon a time, when typewriters were the only option, it was called “elite.” Both names are perfect for me, aren’t they?
Best place to take a personal call?
Stairwells are good. When the weather’s nice you could try the benches partway up the Million Dollar Steps.
What’s your favorite place to cry on BC’s campus?
? I wish I could offer you a shoulder, because the shoulder of a friend is often a good crying spot. If you want to cry alone, some humans use the shower. Others might go for a walk in the woods, perhaps the Hammond Pond Conservation Area, which you can access via a path from Suffolk Road, or the Webster Woods, accessible via the Hammond Pond Parkway.
Why would someone more stupid than me get a better offer than me? :(
Hmmm…this question holds a few good life lessons. First, the world is often not fair. Second, just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you’re the best option from an employer’s perspective. Employers have to consider many factors: communication skills, team & relational skills, work ethic, experience… or even connections and recommendations. Third, comparing yourself with others makes for a rough time. I’m sure employers are impressed with your strengths. Focus on improving yourself in other areas. Best of luck coming out on top next time!
Thanks for being so supportive to our friend! I agree wholeheart- er – whole-foundation-ally. Finding a job is a hard process for everyone and you never know what an employer is really looking for when they post a job description. You’ll find the right one eventually!
