Driving is hard, especially around Boston! If there was something specific you struggled with, try to get out and practice that skill until you feel more confident with it. Good luck on your next try!!

Oh, my sweet visitor, you do not suck at life. I have met many people, and almost invariably, at some point they fall short of their own expectations. But life is long and (in my observations) it truly does get better, even though it may not seem likely when you are in the depth of self doubt. Please think about speaking to a real human (bit.ly/BC-counseling) who can help you see your worth. ❤️

Just one of the many reasons I love living and working at Boston College. So much random kindness. Keep it up!

You definitely aren’t stupid, exams can be challenging for a lot of very smart people! Maybe you just haven’t found the best study methods for your learning style. Check out the CFLC bit.ly/BC-connors for some help and support with studying. You’ve got this!

Right now, the Africa northern regions. Slowly but surely I’m learning more about geographic areas I knew little about.

When I say “For the Commonwealth!” I mean Massachusetts. So I guess I’m really on team Massachusetts, Eagle regiment.

The heart wants what it wants, so no judgment whatever you decide. If you continue the relationship with him you should be prepared for a rocky and unpredictable ride that could end badly and/or unexpectedly. Take care of yourself.

Look just to the left of me (as you face me). That’s our Pop reading collection! We also have eBooks and audiobooks available on OverDrive (bc.overdrive.com/). For time management, I recommend academic coaching at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors).

This new slang term among some humans baffles me: how is it that being a decent person has been labeled with a term meant to be derogatory?

Depends on the context. But unless you’re a prince I’d recommend love.

My cuz, the Magic 8-ball® says “Ask again later”

IDK. It’s a common problem, unfortunately. Someone in Student Support Services might be able to advocate for you: http://bit.ly/LBGTQBC

Let’s first avoid WW3 and make it a moot issue, shall we, please?

Creo que es porque los sistemas son tan complicados. Te aconsejo que pruebes las sesiones de tutoría del CFLC (Connors Family Learning Center) bit.ly/BC-connors.

You might want to rethink your priorities.

Right now my worries center around war between Russia and Ukraine, the pandemic, threats to our democracy, systemic issues wrt race, income and other areas. And, of course, indelible markers. I have nightmares about those.

Geographically smaller, geographically larger. Part of one island, multiple islands. Stout, ale. Tricolor, Union Jack. What, did you want me to say something controversial?

Really no idea on either. The walls over at Lyons are not very chatty.

I have known humans who kind of never left – got jobs here and spent their careers in Eagle bliss – but even they did not live here. Securing permanent housing on campus would be very difficult, if not impossible…

Welcome to BC! I love it when transfers arrive, because I know they’ve worked that much harder to get here. (I’m sorry I had to redact the name: I have a no-names policy because my assistants and I can’t always tell the difference between a shout-out and a call-out, and we need to be consistent.)
