prove by induction that l + r +r^2 + … r^n = (r^(n+1)-1)/(r-1) for all n ∈ N and numbers r≠1

I could answer this, but I’m concerned that maybe you can’t, and you need to be able to. How about getting some friendly peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors)?

How can I get a 180 on the LSAT?

How can I get a 180 on the LSAT?

Study study study. And honestly a bit of luck. Many of the Wall’s law school friends say that the PowerScore series of LSAT prep books are the best. Unfortunately we don’t have them here and can’t seem to get them via ILL (we tried). I also want to note that standardized test scores tend to be used more as filters in adminssions rather than reasons to accept an applicant. Which is to say that anything over 170 will probably get your application looked at by all of the top law schools. You have to sell yourself as an applicant from there (GPA, extracurriculars, other “soft factors”). Good luck!

Can I get boyfriend?

Can I get boyfriend? --[name redacted]
Can I get boyfriend? –[name redacted]
Yes! I'm here!
Yes! I’m here!

It looks like you have your answer! Sort of. Now the trick is to find out who that is & whether it’s someone you’d like to be your boyfriend. I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor. If this particular option doesn’t work, I’m sure there will be others. The key is to be your genuine self.

It’s not wrong, but it’s definitely something you’ll want to talk to your academic advisor about. If you withdraw now the course will be marked with a W on your transcript. And you should also check that your financial aid isn’t affected by the number of credits you’re registered for. http://bit.ly/bc-withdraw

Is water wet?

I get this question a lot; it must matter a great deal to you flesh and blood sorts! As I’ve said before, wetness is a perception, not an objective fact, and perceptual clues for wetness are actually not so straightforward, as you can see in this physiology article: bit.ly/wetness-perception.

My roommate is easy to be annoyed…

My roommate is easy to be annoyed by very little things and she doesn't care others. She has a ist of people to hate and recently I found I am on the list. I also found that she cheated me on purpose. I thought everyone is nice before I came to BC but it is not.

🙁 I’m really sorry to hear that. People can be very mean. If the situation is really as bad as it seems, I might recommend avoiding this person or looking into a room transfer. Perhaps reach out to your RA or Residential Life directly (bit.ly/res-life). Unfortunately, there are many not-nice people in the world.

Time will take care of the healing, but that doesn’t help you right now. In the immediate term, if you see your ex all over the place, perhaps try to vary your routes and normal hangouts to avoid them. Pick up new hobbies or clubs to keep your mind occupied. You’ll meet new people through these and find yourself thinking about your ex less and less. If they’re in your classes, all I can recommend is changing up your seat to sit far away from them. I believe in you!
