If these friends are your people — interested in your story (and the real you), loyal, and you share mutual values with them– then you’ll just have to pick and chose the activities you can share (re: travel, dining, etc.). And accept you come from different socioeconomic circumstances.  If you feel in your core, however, that you don’t share similar values with many of these friends and they don’t see you, considering redirecting your energy.

It happens. Maybe try some electives. And very happy you like the blue, I think it goes well with my paneling.

A bathroom stall on the 2nd floor told me they appreciated their special note. I hear its a bit dreary opening and closing doors in that bathroom all day so I’m sure it could use a little extra motivation.

Walls reach full maturity pretty early, so I’ve been there a while. Gotta say this is a pretty sweet gig.

Courier, of course! Once upon a time, when typewriters were the only option, it was called “elite.” Both names are perfect for me, aren’t they?

Hmmm…this question holds a few good life lessons. First, the world is often not fair. Second, just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you’re the best option from an employer’s perspective. Employers have to consider many factors: communication skills, team & relational skills, work ethic, experience… or even connections and recommendations. Third, comparing yourself with others makes for a rough time. I’m sure employers are impressed with your strengths. Focus on improving yourself in other areas. Best of luck coming out on top next time!

Thanks for being so supportive to our friend! I agree wholeheart- er – whole-foundation-ally. Finding a job is a hard process for everyone and you never know what an employer is really looking for when they post a job description. You’ll find the right one eventually!

With the help of tutors, the summer camp, and the college success program, I’m sure many of them go in all kinds of directions they’d dreamed of or never even knew were possibilities.

Check out these two encyclopedias: International Encyclopedia of Communication (https://bit.ly/2PY5ixA) and the International Encyclopedia of Linguistics – which includes an entry on sociolinguistics (https://bit.ly/2pPWgYU). They’ll give you an idea of the range of areas of study in each discipline.  Why don’t you make an appointment with a faculty member in the Communication Department, and one who teaches courses in linguistics, to chat about their graduate school experiences.  And you can explore the course offerings/requirements, and faculty profiles (and publication history)  in both communication and linguistics graduate programs.  Perhaps these next steps will help cement your interest in one area over the other.  Good luck with your next adventure!

Tteokbokki!

Reply hazy, ask again. At any rate, that’s what my distant cousin Magic 8-ball would say. I’m not very good at predictions. Good luck finding him! I’m sure you will.

Yes. There’s a piece in the Heights about it, and the New York Times Magazine had coverage of similar investments at other schools locally and nationwide. http://bit.ly/bc-koch. There’s some commentary and questions from a foreign policy expert here: http://bit.ly/bc-koch2

Gingerly.

Wallabies, of course!

It’s mostly tuition, fees, and the return on an almost three billion dollar endowment. BC also receives about a hundred million dollars per year in donations, which is more than many schools’ entire endowments. I’m speaking generally, if you want the specifics you should visit my friend the BC Fact Book: http://bit.ly/BC-FactBook. (and if you’re getting any financial aid, you’re almost certainly already getting some of BC’s money)

That works up here! And here’s a nugget from Eleanor Roosevelt to ponder, “Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.”
