The Wall

What’s something you like doing? Do more of that! What’s something you’ve always wanted to try? Give it a go! What’s something out of your comfort zone? Have an adventure!

Both. And oceans. And bathtubs. Water is fascinating!

I hear you. But the semester is almost done, and there is a high probablity (SWIDT?) you will be over it soon.

I feel satisfied when I know my advice has helped someone (or TBH, when you are standing and looking at me and you just crack up laughing.) But the best thing about success is that each individual gets to define it for themself.

You don’t. You can take it on faith if you trust the speaker or you can seek independant verification of the facts, if possible. Lie detectors, ways to evaluate people’s posture, eye movement, etc have been used, but are imperfect.

What sticks with me the most are all the times people posted in support of other people posting about their troubles.

It’s a learning curve? You will have a better idea of what to avoid in the future. If you feel you are sabotaging yourself by consciously going for boys who are obviously bad choices, you might want to talk to someone about that.

The Chronicle of Higher Ed report from July, 2023 says $0; “The president declined to take a salary, often because of a vow of poverty.” You can find out more details on what religious poverty means for Jesuits: bit.ly/JesuitPoverty.

I just don’t think about the Roman Empire that much…

Well, first of all, it’s the creator of the biggest, most impressive wall ever built. It’s also got some of the best documented & longest written history of any still-extant nation-state, so there’s that. And most populous country, with a huge variety of cultures, food, art, and music. It’s also got the biggest virtual wall: what some call the Great Firewall of China. IOW, many superlatives!

Our international exchange students bring so much to BC, and then they leave… Thankfully, it is the 21st century, and there are so many ways to keep in touch, even in realtime. Make sure you make time to contact them and maybe you could even meet up sometime in the future.

We never plan to miss anyone, but then it happens.

We will miss you too! ❤️

That looks like a very sad “WHY?” so I am guessing something has gone badly for you. The “why” is sometimes not knowable by mere mortals or walls. I am sorry and hope things get better.

Absolutely! A B.A. degree prepares you to think critically, which prepares you for just about any work circumstance. If you’d like to explore career possibilities that draw directly on your major, I recommend the Career Center: bit.ly/BC-career

I’m so glad you had a good experience with him! Dr. Hudson decided to take up a new philosophy teaching position at another university.
