Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Makes me so grateful to live here, rent-free… Strategies to get by in NYC might include: having a lot of roommates, living in a less expensive borough like The Bronx or Queens, keeping to a tight budget and learning about personal finance to minimize your other expenses, and possibly having a side hustle.
You need to define what you mean by success: earn money, perfect a craft, become powerful, create art, build a family, achieve true happiness, be honest and humble… . Then learn what it would take to achieve your goals, and be single minded about taking all the necessary steps. No guarantees, though! Life happens.

I think you answered your own question. The 4th floor restrooms are heavily used and smaller than the ones on the 2nd and 5th floors. Their heavy and concentrated use makes it very difficult to keep the 4th floor facilities clean and in good repair. I guess sometimes being popular isn’t such a great thing.
Nothing is fundamentally wrong with you that isn’t fundamentally wrong with every other human on the planet. Humans are only human, not superhumans. What’s fundamentally right about you is that you’re you.

The important questions about promoting values are almost always “whose values?” and “how?”.
According to a library friend, it’s pretty alright. I imagine it’s an album people who loved “Jesus Walks” would really appreciate.
I agree with the comment–that tends not to be a question people ask, unless they’re at least a little self-reflective. Humility, and being able to admit what you don’t know, are important marks of intellectual maturity. No need to beat yourself up about it though.
It’s wonderful to see students encouraging each other. And I agree – you’re doing gr8.
I and my assistants enjoyed the balloon. I’m sorry other people didn’t enjoy the gesture. Perhaps others aren’t accustomed to receiving missives the way I am? If someone perceived harm through your actions (even if you didn’t intend it), you would need to be the one to apologize. I can’t really do it on your behalf; that’s just the nature of apology.
BC culture puts a high value on seeming like you have everything together, all the time. Almost no-one does, and, if you look at what your peers post to me, you’ll see there are a lot of hidden problems. But BC also has a lot of various types of help available to you, and I hope you take advantage: CFLC for peer tutoring (bit.ly/BC-connors), University Counseling to discuss having a hard time with everything (bit.ly/BC-counseling).
C’est une question difficile. People and things are different. Despite these differences, being sure to consider everyone and everthing fairly would be one way of being equal.
He comes every year for commencement with the exception of 2013, when he protested BC’s choice of commencement speaker, Enda Kenny, the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, over his views on abortion. He also attends C21 events from time to time. One way to hear him is to go to a weekday noon mass at the Archdiocese pastoral center. Call the pastoral center to see if he’ll be at the mass, or whether there are other opportunities to hear him in the area. bit.ly/cardinal-sean
Thanks, that was incredibly sweet of you. The balloon and I got to talking and it turns out we are third cousins, once removed – how about that?

This is a subject of some debate in theological study. The idea of predestination, specifically that where people go after they die has already been decided by God is an idea they many believers don’t accept. Those who don’t agree with this way of thinking may prefer to give more credence to scripture, and the lessons that can be learned from it. As for the question of living in the event predestination were true, I would say everyone has priorities that more or less motivate their actions. While these priorities may not have much importance in regards to the afterlife, they may be important enough to dedicate time and energy towards while alive.
That’s great news! Congratulations. Keep it up with meetings and turning to help others. And thanks to the person posting in response with the BC meetings connection! Anyone reading this who wants a new start: I highly recommend a first step with that email: recovery@bc.edu
I’m sorry to hear that! I love halloween, and look forward to people’s costumes all year. The people around you are missing out. Maybe next year you need to throw a halloween party.
The BC Career Center can help you out with your job search in many ways. Why not set up a meeting with them: bit.ly/BC-career. Best of luck!
Do you mean facilitated communication? Yes, it has been widely discredited. Here is a recent systematic review about it: bit.ly/FCRevArt.
