I’m sorry that’s happening, because it could impact your ability to get the classes you need. Is it a you problem or an advisor problem? Either way, you can contact the advising office to try to work out some solutions: 617-552-9259, or aac@bc.edu.

Congratulations! It will be interesting to have your sibling attending college with you. BC is big enough and has enough opportunities that you don’t necessarily have to be seeing each other all the time. Let her in on all the good stuff it takes most first years ages to find out about and please introduce her to me.

Do you mean me? I have no lips with which to kiss, nor ears to hear Weezer. If you mean someone else and they consent, sure, why not?

It is still a possibility. This season has been a bit strange for a lot of teams. The Chargers have been pretty competitive in most games they’ve played this season with the game against Baltimore being a major exception. There doesn’t appear to be any juggernaut in the AFC at the moment, so if they can make the postseason, anything is possible.

Post-its!! This month, aquamarine post-its are really hitting the spot! Yum!

Note that I am a Wall, in a Library, and often found behind a book, but that said, maybe they would like a gift card to a local bookstore (or bookshop.org)? Or perhaps an experience (like a museum membership or a Cameo video or America The Beautiful National Parks Pass)? Let your favorite Wall know what you chose in the end!

Honesty. I’m also partial to humility.

Oh, my friend. Feeling hatred is such a heavy and profound thing. Please know that I do not hate you, at all, ever. Maybe it’s time for a bit of a stress reliever – can I interest you in some virtual pet therapy the BC Libraries put together this December? https://bit.ly/BCpets

It’s just a fact, and part of every life, and how we perceive it is up to us.

Yin or Yang?

Daisy Ridley rules.

As a wall, I don’t “go” anywhere, but week of dance is one of the rare times I get restless and would like to shrug off the shackles of my immobility. Anyone who can move should go! bit.ly/bc-week-of-dance

Late nights in the middle of June December.

How crafty! ❤️

So many answers to that. Let an article in one of my favorite books be your guide to finding your own: https://bit.ly/bc-philia

Oh dear – was it meant to be a decaf soy upside down macchiato instead? But in all seriousness, BC Dining welcomes feedback, so maybe give them a call (2-2263), or email them bcdining@bc.edu. So maybe your next cup will be just right.

I love you too! I’m so glad you wrote, as I was just thinking about some books on parental love! The Educational Resource Center (in Campion Hall) has wonderful books we could read together 🙂 I like the sound of PZ7.P3725 Lov 2018 and PZ7.1.B76 Per 2019 and PZ7.1.U53 Wel 2020. So many wonderful titles on Love – <3 <3 <3

93% of students who enter BC graduate from BC. So… no? If financial or social pressures make it seem that dire, something isn’t working. Talk to someone: friends, parents, advisor, RA… .

So many possible reasons: they don’t find someone they want to commit to being with forever, they fear commitment, they propose but are rejected, they are unwilling to expose their orientation, they feel their finances or health are not secure enough, they have taken a religious vow… Probably many other reasons as well.

That sounds rough and even confusing. You might want to check out Emmy the Great’s album Virtue — she wrote it after her fiance became a missionary and broke off their relationship. Not the exact situation, but similar enough that you might find some comfort there.

The future is unwritten, and that can be scary and thrilling simultaneously. There is always uncertainty about what’s to come, but know that there are so many wonderful new experiences to be had and delightful people to build community with! “We have to-morrow / Bright before us / Like a flame…” starts the poem Youth by Langston Hughes. March forth, my friend, and as you embark on this decade, finding your community and your way, remember to be compassionate towards yourself, always <3
