Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Well, that has a tendency to happen. If you made any of them any promises of exclusivity an apology might be in order. If not, it’s really not you they’re upset about. The storm will pass.
True, any life form is only required to reproduce. But look at the many fantastic, creative and beautiful ways that plants and animals accomplish that one task. Seems to me that the diversity of life would not exist if there was not some other purpose for each species.
Balancing all the different pieces of your life is incredibly challenging and everyone struggles with it. You are definitely not alone. Everyone finds their own methods – some people obsess over their digital calendar, some people use checklists (and checklist apps like todoist), some people need a physical planner or a notebook. If you feel like the stress is starting to overwhelm you, you should feel comfortable reaching out to Counseling services to see if they can help you manage these: bit.ly/BC-counseling.
Asking him will likely get better results than attempted mind-reading. At some point you’ll find the guy you don’t need to ask that question about. Maybe it’ll be this guy.
You have almost 3 years experience at BC; how does it feel to you when you think about carring that kind of course load? Consider what additional obligations you may have (job hunting? Grad school applications?). One option is to sign up for the classes now and if it all seems too much next Fall, you can drop something during the drop/add period. Also, check in with your academic advisor to get their take.
Here are my top 5 recommendations: Go to a Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid fútbol game. Visit El Prado museum. Have tapas and drinks at a rooftop bar on Plaza de la Cebada. Walk along the Gran Vía. Eat churros at the Chocolatería San Ginés.
It does seem a little dark for a holiday weekend, but you do you. Explaining suffering is a big deal cosmological problem. The first of Buddhism’s Four Noble Truths is that human life is bound up with suffering. http://bit.ly/bc-suffer1. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam also have their own reactions and ways of seeing suffering. http://bit.ly/bc-suffer2.
It’ll probably be awkward, but that’s how it goes. That doesn’t improve if you wait. Be kind. Be curious about her. Talk about things you’re both interested in. Don’t worry about where things are headed, or if they are–time for that later. Just talk.
I would advise against this. I doubt there’s any sure way of know how much is too much, and guessing wrong – well, I do not want to think about that, but it could turn into a tragedy. Maybe brainstorm with her about less risky options?
Forgive the philosophical answer, but that depends on what you’re looking for in a philosophy teacher. A good starting place might be to check out RateMyProfessor and see who scores well: http://bit.ly/BCPhilProfRatings.
Sleep soon! The semester is almost done. I believe in you.
That is a very tiresome quote, and if I had eyes, I would totally roll them (◔_◔). The truth is, finding a boyfriend/girlfriend is just not easy; I get asked this a lot. You don’t have to wait for a boy to climb any tree – consider taking the initiative if there’s a boy you like.
One thing that can help with memorization is getting several of your senses involved. Write it out by hand, then write out the translation. Speak it aloud while you do that, so you can feel your mouth making the sounds while you hear them. Then use flash cards. Then get a friend to quiz you. You could also look at books like this one, on adult language acquisition: http://bit.ly/bc-fluent.
It’s hard to see how either of those would work for me. But I wouldn’t want to judge for humans.
The Answer Wall hasn’t studied number theory or quadratic reciprocity, so I can’t help you find the solutions for this system of congruences. If you are interested in finding the solutions, I recommend you take MATH4430 Introduction to Number Theory or speak to Professor Robert Gross who teaches that course (http://bit.ly/RobertGross). Alternatively, you could speak to any of our Math department faculty who specialise in Number Theory – Avner Ash, Solomon Friederg, Robert Gross, Benjamin Howard, Dube Kelmer, or Keerthi Madapusi Pera (http://bit.ly/numtheoryresearch). Good luck!
Why choose? These are two phenominally talented women who both deserve to have their music appreciated.
Hall & Oates, Cherry Garcia, and 5K training with friends.
Unfortunately, racism is an ingrained part of not just America, but nearly every culture in the world. “Us vs. Them” is a very easy mentality to fall into, and skin color is a very obvious trait of every person. As to BC specifically, you’ll likely find that there’s more racists here than in some places, but fewer than in others. Not that any racism is acceptable, but it does pervade American society and it’s hard to know who is going to have what political or social opinions before they come here.
It makes me so happy to see your smiling faces!
