How do you get over a toxic break up, and move on? (After being with each other for 2+ years)
Be gentle with yourself. Maybe don’t jump right into the next relationship before you’ve had time to process this one (or maybe that’s exactly what you need). Everybody handles grief differently–and even if the relationship sucked, part of what you’re doing is grieving for something you spent a good bit of your life on.
Why do I make friends with so many rich people? How can I stop caring about our socioeconomic gap? It feels like there’s always going to be a barrier.
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.
Have you seen the other sticky notes in the girls bathrooms?
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.
When will Kofi Kingston come to campus and how can I meet him? Lol (My dad and I are huge fans!)
My inside source on all things Kofi (his Dad!) says that unfortunately there is nothing currently scheduled, but will try to let you know if anything is coming up.
If putting your shirt under your pants is called “tucking in your shirt”, then if you put your shirt over your pants, then are you “tucking in your pants”?
I wouldn’t think so – when you tuck your pants, there’s generally an active tucking (or stuffing) motion needed with the hands, but when you put on a shirt, it tends to go above the pants without much hassle. But you can tuck your pant legs into your socks, and it’s a really good idea in tick territory.
Why would someone more stupid than me get a better offer than me? 🙁
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!
It’s okay bud ♡ You’ll find the best one for you!
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.
I’m currently contemplating going to grad school for either communication or linguistics. They seems like very similar fields, like history and poli sci. What exactly is the difference between communication and linguistics (especially sociolinguistics)?
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!
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.
have you heard that the Koch brothers are investing in the Political Science department?
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
