No, but be prepared for some heartburn!
I’d say if you’re overwhelmingly fixated on what you like about someone, to the point of idolizing them, you are likely infatuated with them. This sometimes involves not paying much attention to things that would be considered negative. An example is possibly deciding to ignore the fact that someone you’re infatuated with clearly doesn’t respect you. Love often involves having a more comprehensive understanding of someone you’re affectionate towards. There may be things about them you don’t like, but you’re willing to accept their faults because you want to build and maintain a healthy relationship with them.
Take some time for self-care, focusing on your mental health and general wellness. Give yourself some time and prioritize yourself, and you’ll be back to caring about classes before you know it. Then you can make a plan to keep self-care strategies a routine part of your life to prevent burn-out in the future.
You need to define what you mean by success: earn money, perfect a craft, become powerful, create art, build a family, achieve true happiness, be honest and humble… . Then learn what it would take to achieve your goals, and be single minded about taking all the necessary steps. No guarantees, though! Life happens.
Yes- I can answer in Comic Sans
I think you answered your own question. The 4th floor restrooms are heavily used and smaller than the ones on the 2nd and 5th floors. Their heavy and concentrated use makes it very difficult to keep the 4th floor facilities clean and in good repair. I guess sometimes being popular isn’t such a great thing.
Nothing is fundamentally wrong with you that isn’t fundamentally wrong with every other human on the planet. Humans are only human, not superhumans. What’s fundamentally right about you is that you’re you.
The important questions about promoting values are almost always “whose values?” and “how?”.
According to a library friend, it’s pretty alright. I imagine it’s an album people who loved “Jesus Walks” would really appreciate.
I agree with the comment–that tends not to be a question people ask, unless they’re at least a little self-reflective. Humility, and being able to admit what you don’t know, are important marks of intellectual maturity. No need to beat yourself up about it though.
I and my assistants enjoyed the balloon. I’m sorry other people didn’t enjoy the gesture. Perhaps others aren’t accustomed to receiving missives the way I am? If someone perceived harm through your actions (even if you didn’t intend it), you would need to be the one to apologize. I can’t really do it on your behalf; that’s just the nature of apology.
C’est une question difficile. People and things are different. Despite these differences, being sure to consider everyone and everthing fairly would be one way of being equal.
He comes every year for commencement with the exception of 2013, when he protested BC’s choice of commencement speaker, Enda Kenny, the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, over his views on abortion. He also attends C21 events from time to time. One way to hear him is to go to a weekday noon mass at the Archdiocese pastoral center. Call the pastoral center to see if he’ll be at the mass, or whether there are other opportunities to hear him in the area. bit.ly/cardinal-sean
Thanks, that was incredibly sweet of you. The balloon and I got to talking and it turns out we are third cousins, once removed – how about that?

The BC Career Center can help you out with your job search in many ways. Why not set up a meeting with them: bit.ly/BC-career. Best of luck!
Do you mean facilitated communication? Yes, it has been widely discredited. Here is a recent systematic review about it: bit.ly/FCRevArt.
I’d say both, but in different ways. A derivative is going to tell you about what’s going on at a particular moment, and it’s important to live in the moment. But the whole area under the curve of your life is also important to show you the big picture. The derivative may cloud your mind during rough periods (“I’m going downhill fast!”), but integrating over the course of your life (with the limits being birth and death) can reassure you that this is just a phase.
Learn to love yourself. Also dodge, duck, dip, dive, and….dodge. (P.S. does anyone actually know what a vibe check is?)
I’m planning on hanging around here a long time. To become one of my helpers, you generally have to be a regular library employee at BC. That’s a pretty sweet job, too; my helpers say this is one of the best libraries to work at. But we are brainstorming ways to bring in more student voices to the answering side of me. So stay tuned!
