A weekend of ruthlessly crushing opponents? Fun! (Psst… want to win? bit.ly/risk-win)
Is it RISK all weekend?
My friends keep calling me “Scrappy Doo”. Do I fight them?
It’s probably what Scrappy Doo would do. So you’d definitely be living up to the nickname. On the other hand, an assault charge on your record is probably not good for your career. It’s also worth noting that Scrappy Doo almost always needed Scooby or Shaggy to hold him back because he didn’t realize that he would lose any fight he started.
How do you recover from being called a “nice boy”?
Take the compliment and move on.There are lots of people for whom “nice” and “safe” would be a pleasant change of pace.
How do I register to have a therapy cat in my dorm :(
If the cat is a service animal or is required for a medical need, contact Residential Life (reslife@bc.edu or 2-3060) and Disability Services (disabsrv@bc.edu 0r 2- 3470). The Animal Policy is here: bit.ly/BCAnimalPol.
Can two friends who know they like each other really just stay friends? or is the friendship DOOMED?
That is a long-standing philosophical problem. The canonical exploration of this question is on the third floor of O’Neill. http://bit.ly/bc-harry
My jaw pops when I chew, what does this mean? :D
Possibly TMJ (bit.ly/mayo-tmj). Visit a dentist to see if you’re a candidate for a customized night guard. You might be a grinder (aka Bruxism: bit.ly/mayo-bruxism). One of my helpers neglected to wear her night guard and the TMJ got so bad she couldn’t open her mouth wide enough to eat a bagel.
Why does BC not provide enough counselors at UCS for the amount of students who seek their services? ?
Here’s what UCS said in response to a similar question in January: “While UCS is staffed at levels at least equal to most of our peer institutions, and is always available to students in crisis that day, there is still the reality that students seeking ongoing longer term therapy may have to wait up to a couple of weeks for an appointment. We are piloting a new initiative offering same day consultation appointments for students seeking to address an identified problem in a rapid access fashion. We hope that this will help more accurately and quickly meet student mental health needs. We are always interested in feedback of all sorts, and strive to improve our service to the BC community.”
Why does BC not care about mental health of students??

If someone acts nice to you but calls you fake behind your back, what should you do? =)
If this person is part of your inner friends group then I would suggest addressing the behavior. If not, let it go. I’ll leave you with advice given to Justin Halpern (Sh*t My Dad Says), “Don’t focus on the one guy who hates you. You don’t go to the park and set your picnic down next to the only pile of dog sh*t.”
Why did BC not tell us Brady and Edelman was here in the afternoon practicing.
I suppose sometimes celebrities want some peace and quiet. But yeah… facts.
Being w/your girls is much better than w/any guy, amiright?
Be with who you want to be with. I hope you can eventually find a guy who’s as supportive & fun as your girls, though.
I can’t stop eating =(

Sigh… I’ve heard from many humans that food is a delight, but also kind of tricky. I have a big appetite for post-its, so I kind of understand. But if you feel like you’re overeating, or feel guilty after you eat, maybe a conversation with the campus nutritionist would be a good idea: bit.ly/bc-nutrition.
My BF is horrible in bed, any tips?

If you and your partner communicate openly about both of your wants and needs, I guarantee you’ll both find the relationship more fulfilling. If you can’t talk about sex, what else are you not talking about?
What should I do if the same group of people is always being extremely disruptive in the reading room?
The Reading Room is a collaborative study space and traditionally, collaborative study spaces can be noisy. If you need a quiet place to study, the entire 5th floor is a quiet zone. However, if there is a group of students in the Reading Room who are unusually noisy or disruptive, you can let someone at the Circulation Desk know and they will address the issue.
If you’re 21+ can you drink alcohol in the library?
According to the Use of Alcohol at Boston College policy, “The possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in any common or public area of the campus, or in a campus facility, is prohibited.” The only exception to this rule is if the library is hosting an authorized event where alcohol is served; and if that were the case, you would only be allowed to consume alcohol at the specific room where the event is taking place. Additionally, the policy states that: “Those students who are 21 years of age or older may keep limited quantities of alcohol, for personal consumption only, in their residence hall rooms, apartments, or suites.” Full policy: bit.ly/bc-alcohol.
My girlfriend loves to party and drink, but I don’t. What should I do?
If you can live with your differences and you can’t live without her, give her space to do things she enjoys. If you can’t live with those differences or you can live without her, move on & find someone with more common ground.
Can you recommend any good Croatian poets? In English or the original Croatian, either or! :P
Here’s a good list of contemporary Croatian poets & their published works: bit.ly/croatian-poets. We don’t have much Croatian poetry in BC Libraries, but we do have a bilingual anthology: Love Lyric and Other Poems of the Croatian Renaissance, edited, translated & annotated by John S. Miletich. (O’Neill Library PG 1614.5 .L67 L68 2009)
Am I in a hole after watching gossip girl with some female?
No, but you might be in a hole for referring to a person you spent time with as “some female.”
What is wrong with Jordan Speth’s putting lately? His straight garbage! What would you change w/his stroke?
It doesn’t seem to just be his putting, his entire game has been out of whack this year. If you watch him closely, you’ll sometimes notice he’s not himself – he’s quiet and antsy. At this point, I wouldn’t work on his stroke, I’d work on his confidence and getting that nervous energy out before he settles down to make his putts.
Why don’t more people take the RAD class at BC?
IDK, but here’s more info about Rape Aggression Defense, for all who are interested: bit.ly/BC-RAD
