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.
What’s a good name for an undergraduate history journal featuring works from BC history majors?
That depends on what type of history you expect the journal to cover. Ancient Europe – maybe something greek or latin. Pre-columbian North America –
Any doggo visits anytime soon?

How should I tell my clingy and mean friend to leave me alone?
Many friendships morph or fizzle. But in our world of screens (social media/texting) this stuff can be tough. You’re probably familiar with the avoidance dance. How about the honest and direct (in person!), “I don’t like how you’ve been treating me.” Really hard. But you may learn more about that “friend” and yourself after that.
What is your favorite vine?
The Concord Grape. It was developed in nearby Concord, Massachusetts in the mid-19th century, and makes terrific jelly and sweet wines for religious purposes. There’s also Red Vines, but here in Boston, we’re all about the Twizzlers…. If you mean Vine (the video service), looks like that’s over and done with.
Why does BC hummus taste like Elmer’s glue?
I know at least one member of the O’Neill staff who lives on the stuff, but individual taste does vary. You could send feedback to Dining Services at bit.ly/BCDiningComment. BTW… how do you know what Elmer’s glue tastes like…?
Why don’t we have snow days? That was dangerous on Tuesday. Newton Bus is a risk as is.
Well, they did cancel classes after 4:30 … Snow days are rare at Boston College, as administration considers this a residential campus. They do seem to have been more open to following city/state recommendations in the past few years though and have cancelled classes accordingly. Just wait for the next big one!
The cutie on the tech desk. See you on the 14th :)
Hi, sorry about the delay, but your post-it got lost among the bonanza of this week’s questions. I hope everything worked out on Valentine’s Day, and everyone lived happily ever after. (Note: I’ve had my assistants remove some potentially identifying information from this question.)

What shot was more impressive?
My minion who has hit off of pine straw says it’s no contest. Also, Mickelson ended up on the green.
Why is everyone around me so sure of what they want to do?
Are you sure they’re sure? They might not be so sure. That said, “fake it ’til you make it” actually does work a surprising amount of the time.
