Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I’m sorry you’re in this difficult situation, and I hope you find a way to navigate it that continues to lead to your healing from childhood trauma. I wish my assistants and I were in a position to advocate for you, but any answers you’ve already gotten from UCS or DOS are no different from answers we would get ourselves. Your path is difficult, but I have faith that you’ll continue to get help in spite of these difficulties and emerge stronger and more resilient.
According to latest data from the 2019 UN World Population Prospects Report (bit.ly/UNBirths), they come from Asia, followed by Africa, and to a much lesser degree from other places.
Yes! New charging cords, including USB Type-C, Lightning Cables and Micro USB cables will be coming soon to a charging station near you!
The rightness of Mr. Right (your compatibility) is far more important than his richness. (If you marry for money, you earn every cent, as they say.) Just be your honest self and keep making friends, and Mr. Right will turn up. I know folks who didn’t marry until their 30’s, and they’re some of the happiest folks I know.
That can hurt a lot, even if you’re doing the breaking up. Everybody handles that differently, but general advice is to take extra good care of yourself for a while: good food, good sleep, whatever else makes you feel taken care of. Maybe resist the urge to do a rebound relationship for a bit, unless that’s what you need. Give yourself some time to be sad, or angry, or to feel any other way you do. No really wrong answers here, and none that don’t at least sorta suck. Be well, I’ll be here.
The Wall doesn’t endorse candidates, but I’ve been super interested in the popularity of Giant Meteor since their 2016 run.
Ethical and consensual is good and necessary. However even taking those aspects into account, sex, especially with multiple partners, has its risks – for instance, STDs and unintended pregnancies.
Me, some nice paneling, unfortunately not the stock market. You up?
i m right here
Life can be exhausting when it comes at you fast. There’s a break coming up; I recommend you use it as a genuine break. Unplug, give yourself some “me”-time/down-time. Meanwhile, every day set aside some time – even just a few minutes – to sit peacefully and do nothing but breathe. Some really great short meditations are available with the Insight Timer app. It’s like running; if you strain a muscle, you need a break. If you don’t think downtime will cut it, get yourself to the counseling office: bit.ly/BC-counseling.
I’ve met my share of dumb boys, girls, walls, floors, ceilings… Sounds like you’ve had a frustrating experience with a male human, or perhaps several. It’s certainly true that research points to some men not being socialized to value emotional intelligence as highly as some women. Is that what you’re talking about? You might be interested in the book Why Smart People Can Be So Stupid, by Robert Sternberg (O’Neill Library BF431 .W535 2002).
You’re not a failure! It sounds like you made a very rational decision. I hope you got input from your advisor? Also, if you feel a burning need to learn the material covered in calc II (and you might), you can take it later; this year, or even all your college years, are not your only opportunities.
I’m not sure I can, but the tutors at Connors Family Learning Center can: bit.ly/BC-connors. And librarians can help you with the research (library.bc.edu/ask-a-librarian). Good luck! I know you can do this.
No matter how much you still love her, I bet there are lots of reasons why you aren’t together any more. Don’t be afraid to feel your feelings, but gently remind yourself each time of all the other things that got in the way of your relationship. It will take time, but the love and the hurt will both dull and eventually go away.
Mostly through hard work and putting in the time. Orgo isn’t easy! But you can do this, and there is help. Try the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) and maybe form a study group in your class.
It’s hard for sure, and something everyone struggles with constantly. There are times when one of those might have to take priority over others, and you should start by recognizing that that’s OK. “Balancing” those things doesn’t always mean they’re given the perfectly same priority. Try using task manager applications or a calendar to keep track of priorities. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can always visit BC Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling).
Dance for me dance for me dance for me… a catchy enough tune that it almost makes the walls dance! (But careful, it could become an earworm!)
You have my complete faith! If you’re concerned, I recommend finding a group to study with, getting help on papers at the CFLC (bit.ly/BC-connors), and getting help with research at library service desks, or checking out this handy guide: library.bc.edu/bible-quick-start.
That’s wonderful! But you should thank her yourself. And you know what’s even better… write an email to the Director of Custodial Services (Gerard Boyle, boyleg@bc.edu) and tell him. That sort of action, not just here but everywhere you go in life, is valued by employees, and can have good repercussions.
