Yes. Some people feel the pressure of others’ expectations (or their own), some have financial pressure. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
Why is there so much pressure to get professional level jobs straight after graduation?
Why is my mom so freaking awesome?
I bet she works very hard at her awesomeness (though probably some of it is innate.) In any case, lucky, lucky you,. Make sure she knows how you feel about it. I may have mentioned before, my Mom is a sea wall on the North Shore, and she is mega awesome, too – you should see her in a storm surge!
Show me a cute bunny pic
I love my boyfriend so much. how can I show my love for him in creative ways?
Are you arty? You can draw him a picture on a tiny notecard, or paint a landscape on a small piece of watercolor paper. Like theatre or music? Then tickets to a show. Have any culinary skills? Cook him a meal. Not so much on the creative curve, but if he has a car — fill up his tank.
Which was a bigger choke? -Jordan Spieth’s quadruple bogey on #12 at the Masters or -Dustin Johnson’s 3-put on #18 at Chamber’s Bay
Dustin Johnson, 100%. He went into the 18th with a solid lead and just needed to sink the putt for his first Master’s win, but the pressure got to him and he lost it. Poor Spieth though, not only did he quadruple bogey in the 2016 Master’s, but he quadruple bogeyed again the next year. That is rough…
Why isn’t gender identity on BC’s notice of non-discrimination? Does BC not care about its trans students?
BC’s position, as communicated to the staff LGBT@BC group in 2017, is that gender identity, protected by Massachusetts law, is included in the notice’s reference “… and to comply with state law prohibiting discrimination…” (bit.ly/BC-nondiscrimination). Chris Polt, an assistant professor in Classics, studied statements at other Jesuit institutions. Perhaps GLC or another student LGBTQ group could contact Chris for his findings and ask for further clarification from the BC administration.
MFK: one -Matt Ryan -Luke Keuchly -Doug Flutie
Ryan (M), Keuchly (M), Flutie (M). What can I say? They’re all eagles.
I’ve recently noticed a Janitor in O’Neill who adds the contents of recycling and trash bins into the same garbage can. This seems problematic. Is there a way the wall could address it?
Thanks for the observation; I’ll let my assistants know. I’ve also watched a lot of

Thank you so much! I love origami. That you can fold a flat thing and make shapes floors me.
How to show interest in someone w/out being over bearing
What you’re looking for is a nearly impossible balance. Which is worse, to err on the side of subtle and not be noticed, or to err on the side of too obvious but be rejected? Overbearing only happens if you’re overly persistent in the face of rejection. The Wall says: be flamboyant. Stake everything on love. (But let a close friend know you might need their shoulder if it falls flat.)
What is the greatest moment in ryder cup history?
Two amazing come from behind victories! I consulted with one of my assistants and if we’re talking strictly about just these two putts, she has to believe it’s Justin Leonard’s putt. Sure, Justin Rose sunk a putt from 35 yards, but that was a downhill shot. Leonard, however, had gravity at his disadvantage and had to use so much force that if that ball missed, it would have sailed past the hole and landed feet away, all but guaranteeing a loss for
When will the hockey team be good again? :(
I shy away from predictions. The elements that make a winning team are complex: players with skills that complement each other, coaching staff that can inspire players and
Please put up a guide for how to belly-rub a cat. Thanks! :3
While some cats let lucky humans rub their bellies, many cats are protective of such a sensitive and vulnerable area. But you should feel flattered if a cat exposes its belly to you—it can be a sign of trust! Scritches on the head might be a safer bet, but always remember to proceed gently so you don’t frighten your potential feline friend.
Which one should I go to? Ucla or Bc
2 terrific schools to chose from. But very different. Ask yourself: do you want a huge, state university with a warm climate or a mid-sized, Catholic university with a cold climate? Which has more to offer in the fields you are interested in studying? Does the idea of a university that is committed to the formation of the whole student (BC) appeal to to you or drive you away? And., of course, which do you prefer, earthquakes or blizzards? Only you can know!
By putting the odds in your favor. Studying = P(passing)
I don’t think I fit in this institution in terms of both intelligence and academics. no matter how hard I try I still feel like trash compared to others. Should I withdraw from the university?
I’m very sad you are so down on yourself. There will always be people who are – or who appear to be – smarter, better at everything etc. I suggest you talk to your academic advisor, and also perhaps to University Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling) before you make any decisions about leaving.
If your life is on the line and you have to pick any pro golfer to make a 10 foot double breaker for you, who’d it be?
You mean, like, someone is threatening me with a pick-axe or a flamethrower? 1960s Jack Nicklaus.
^HOW Should I break up with my boyfriend?
If you’re still wondering whether you should, ask yourself two questions: can I live with his faults? Can I live without his virtues? If the answers are anything but “yes” and “no,” this relationship will end eventually, and it’s up to you when you want that to happen. If you’re certain, then the answer is soon, unequivocally, and with clear reasons. Be as gentle as circumstances allow, but be firm. There will be tears, but that’s OK. You might want to make sure a close friend is available for the aftermath.
Any good strategies/tips on how to catch norovirus? I wanna get out of an exam.
I assure you, this is not a smart way to avoid an exam. Catching norovirus is distressingly easy though. As per the opposite of CDC advice (bit.ly/CDCNoNoro), eschew hand-washing, dine out at questionable eateries, and snack on unwashed fruit. But really, don’t. Go, do your best on the exam, and be well!
Why does Fr. Leahy hate people who aren’t white?
If your question arises from his silence following recent racist incidents, he probably believes that the appropriate people are addressing the issue. Such an approach does not reflect hate but a different way of thinking about how to respond to campus incidents. As with any communications issue, it’s always better to speak directly with the other person, so I’d suggest also asking Fr. Leahy your question.
