It started out with one clever grad student in Higgins, but it has taken on a (Jurassic?) life of its own. I asked one of my helpers in Higginsland, and it turns out that they are actually involved in the fun themselves. And evolution has been occurring: in addition to the dinos, pink flamingos & various fish are now roaming the building.

Most often in plain sight. Most guys could use a makeover, I’m told.

If you mean historically (as opposed to which might dominate Europe in the coming season), Slovakia has placed better in recent FIFA and EUFA competition.

I’m sorry that happened. People we love have the most capacity to inflict pain. Tell them. Their first reaction might be defensive, but give them a chance to get past the shame of having hurt someone they love. Be clear about what will satisfy you: an apology? An amend?

It’s ranked third in the US for MSF programs. If MSF is worth doing, it seems like that would indicate it’s worth doing here at BC.

You may already know that you need to be a season ticket holder to have access to lots where tailgating is permitted. The best tailgate spot apparently used to be Shea Field. Many now gravitate to Brighton. Here are the permitted tailgate locations from 2019: McElroy, Comm Ave Garage/Roof, Beacon Street Garage/Roof, Upper Brighton, Hillside, Robsham/Cove, Campanella Way, Vanderslice, Shea Field, 2150 Comm Ave, Cushing, Walsh, Merkert, & Plex. If anyone has new wisdom about tailgating locations, spill the tea on a post-it.

You already are! Just be yourself!

20 is an exciting age. I wish you a very happy birthday and a brilliant future ahead.

In my opinion, the best course of action would be having an open and honest conversation about how this situation is making you feel. Ideally, you would be able to establish some ground rules you all can agree with.

Thanks! And you’re welcome. I live for questions.

Thanks, if I had a face it would be smiling, too.

And I love to see you smile when you walk by. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Thanks (blushing). I couldn’t do it without my smaht assistants.

Happy birthday, Twin!

Thank YOU! But I’m only 3! Although if you’re going by wall years I’m 36 as O’Neill Library was built in 1984. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is a question for your physician. If you take it frequently and suddenly stop taking it, you may have withdrawal symptoms (mood changes, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, or stomach trouble). Your doctor may have recommendations for slowly reducing dosage.

It is ironic that crowded cities often provide more privacy than small towns. I can’t argue against the usefulness of walls, however try not to create any that are too isolating. Privacy is a good thing, but you don’t want to get lonely.

Tell them exactly that; we’ve all been busy and you are feeling like you’re getting too far apart; what can you all do, because it matters to you.

I understand your frustration; student services are overburdened. BC has been directing more resources over the years towards support resources for students, from roughly $32 million in 1994 to $65 million in 2019. (Look at the numbers: bit.ly/BC-finances). Simultaneously, a nationwide trend of students needing more support means all colleges are having a hard time keeping up. Though a comparison with $ for new sports facilities seems apt, funds for new buildings come from a completely different pot of money: capital campaigns via donations from alumni, which also funded the new Recreation Center, and the new Schiller institute building going up next to the statue of St. Ignatius.

Congratulations! Thank you for coming out to me. You’re so right that self-love is a process, and a journey that is well worth the effort. Even if you aren’t ready to come out fully, try finding some fellow bi women to talk with — aside from similar experiences of self-discovery, they might even have some advice about this girl you love!
