Best advice for an 18-yr old???
How to become rich?
You could: earn it, inherit it, marry into it, get it through investments, gambling, or robbery. There are certainly ethical considerations with any of these plans; I suggest a consultation with the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career) as a good place to start.
Hello, recommendations for places to play Pokemon Go?
If you haven’t already, invest in a good pair of shoes for walking. Additionally, don’t be afraid to try and find a community to play with for events
How do I stop vaping?
Wanting to stop is a great first step! Next, why not schedule a meeting with a peer Wellness Coach in the Ofc. of Health Promotion (bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach).
What is love?
“We know little about love. Love is like a pear. A pear is sweet and has a distinct shape. Try to define the shape of a pear.”
How do I know when it is time to tell him I love him?
Any time can be the right time, it’s hard to give general advice. If you and he aren’t at the same place, it’s probably better to know sooner than later.

Drawing of Quagsire Pokemon
Who’s That Pokemon!? It took some digging, but we finally caught Quagsire. If assignments have you in a haze, check out the research guides my helpers have thoughtfully put together to direct you to top resources: bit.ly/BCLResearchGuides
Drawing of a Psyduck Pokemon
Oh no! It looks like Psyduck may have a bit of a headache. If midterms and research papers are giving you a headache, check out our Ask a Librarian services at bit.ly/BCLAsk to see if one of my librarian colleagues can help!
Is Beyonce overrated?
Nope.
Why I love her?
I expect she’s amazing in some way….
Why the food in BC Dining are so expensive? And even the snacks
There are actually some really positive reasons: BC Dining has been committed to paying a living wage to its employees, buying local and sustainable food, etc. None of this comes cheap!
True. BC is choosing to charge market prices, rather than pay for wages and supplies some other way.
Why is ResLife the worst department on campus?
Sounds like you have some thoughts. If you post them here I can pass them along.
How can I have a social life, good sleep schedule, and good grades when I have a job & 3 tests in a row in a single day.❤ ps I don’t have time for counselors
Wow. That’s quite a lot. I wish I had the answers for you, and I really wish there were an easy and quick nugget of insight that would help. I will be thinking of you and all BC students as we head towards May. And, I know you said you don’t have time for counselors, but if that changes at all, here are links for the Connors Family Learning Center: bit.ly/BC-connors and BC’s counseling services: bit.ly/BC-counseling
Was showdown rigged?
I mean, they changed a couple of rules since the last time, but there’s nothing particularly shady about that. This is a small campus and a big event, so rigging it would have to involve a bunch of people keeping a secret. Allow me to observe that large groups of humans do not seem to be very good at that.
am getting a new fish next year to accompany my fish right now (name: Yamaha)! What should I name my new fish?
Are we talking Yamaha as in A5R A-Series or as in Super Ténéré? If the former, I’m thinking “Les” or “Gibson”; if it’s a biker fishy, how about “Ducati” or “Harley”?
Everyone should try Red Velvet’s “Feel my rhythm”!
Thanks for the recommendation!
What it do!!
It do what it do!
Best date spot in Boston
May I suggest googling “Boston mural map” and taking your date (and yourself!) on a tour of murals on *walls* in the area? You can enjoy some public art, learn about some new areas of the city, and discover new-to-you artists!
Should I just give up?
Depends on what you’re talking about. If you mean life, no, never. If you are having thoughts like that, please, please talk with someone right now (University Counseling bit.ly/BC-counseling.) If it is a class or a project or something else, it is worth talking to the other people involved or a trusted advisor, and weighing the pros and cons.
