Normally, it is not okay. It can be perceived as rude and thoughtless. There are instances, however, when this is acceptable, particularly in cases where you cannot trust the other person or fear for your safety.

It’s hard to watch people spend money on what seems frivolous when you’re strapped for cash. If you want to make sure BC is spending money wisely while students experience food insecurity, take a look at the BC Factbook, research food insecurity (bit.ly/campus-food-insecurity), and bring your concerns to a wider audience – maybe a letter to the editor (or article) at the Eagle or Gavel or perhaps a report to the UGBC.

Don’t worry, many adults also have a hard time navigating relationships, too. One way to make relationships less ambiguous and confusing is to talk openly about expectations with your partner. If that kind of conversation is new to both of you, take it slow, and expect some initial awkwardness. But it’s ultimately always better for a couple to be open with each other than to leave their hearts (and plans) hidden from each other.

That’s kinda dark, but it is that time of the semester. Soon we can all hibernate for a bit, and maybe problems will go south for the winter.

It is nasty to be sick this time of year, and sometimes it lingers. It’s a good idea to check in with a doctor occasionally, since sometimes one kind of sick leads to another. Feel better! Stay warm. Get some sleep.

I have faith you’ll find what you need.

Did you participate? Hope it went well. Fingers crossed. (Wait, I don’t have fingers! Probably why I’m not so good at math.)

Hard to say, my retail connections are weak. Call them? Orchard: (617) 782-7777 AWOL: (617) 787-0600 (Orchard is the better bet, judging by websites. Does AWOL even carry shoes any more?)

The Wall agrees, that is a bummer.  But look at it with a positive twist — more time to study!  Texas is big.  From some digging around I’ve heard you’ll find some tasty sushi at Uchi (Austin), Deep Sushi (Dallas), and Redfish Seafood Grill (Houston).  Enjoy your meal!

Thanks for the contribution! If anyone’s hungry for sushi one their way to the DFW airport, they’ve got an option now!

Predictions are the forte of my cousin the magic 8-ball. I have faith that you’ll find a boyfriend, but the process may test your patience.

Love knows no clock that I am aware of, and there are no prereqs. It will happen when it happens.

My assistants are in touch with UCS. I’ll provide an update when & if they find out anything.

Thanks! I think that’s a great idea. Let me know if there’s anything I can help with.

I know the feeling. Hang in there. And maybe try focusing on getting some rest for a day or two. It will actually make you more productive at $ask.

It has its critics, but the way I see it, a film about poetry is a rare thing, so let’s enjoy that it exists. A few others: Tom & Viv, about T.S. Eliot’s early love life (caution: low rating at imdb), A Quiet Passion (Emily Dickinson), Il Postino (Pablo Neruda), Syliva (Sylvia Plath), and Barfly (Charles Bukowski). A recent standout is Paterson, a quiet, contemplative film about a poet’s struggles with self-doubt. (The poems in the film are all by Ron Padgett.)
