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.

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.

Oh no! Def contact ITS Help at 617-552-HELP (4357)
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
It is OK to feel that way about it. And it will leave after a short while…
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.
Well, since I am in the O’Neill lobby, I don’t get outside much. What is something you saw outside that made your day?
The whole concept of painted rocks is a delight and a wonder. A ladybug! Splendid!
Thank you! What a wonderful set of mental pictures!

I did, thank you! Though, I’m happy to find the lobby so busy with all your lovely faces back on campus.
Why would you need help? Sounds like an ideal situation to find oneself in.
Have you seen the “do you love the color of the sky?” meme? Because I think that has your answer.
Berlin Wall (RIP), The Wall (?), Hadrian’s Wall
Top Lists are hard to do without offending someone. I’m very fond of the Great Wall (a distant relative of mine) and hope I last as long. https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/?s=%22great+wall%22
