Why mixed feelings?

Still a Wendys.

That’s so kind! You might want to talk about something you love about the library—everyone likes to hear some positive feedback.

They certainly have a chance, but I’m putting my money on the Astros. They’re solid every year and there’s no doubt that the Yankees have overachieved to this point. In sports, it’s better to be lucky than to be good, but the Yankees have had a lot of injuries that are going to be difficult to overcome as the competition gets tougher through the playoffs.

The heart wants what the heart wants. But with you (hopefully) graduating soon and them just starting out on their college journey, the situation will soon be very difficult. Depending on how long you’ve felt this, you might choose to just stay quiet and see if the feelings subside. Or, if they reciprocate the feelings, you can get together but be very clear with each other about the boundaries (will this only last a year, will you try to keep it going, etc.). Remember, they will change a lot during their next four years, and you will also change a lot in your first couple of years out of school. There’s nothing wrong with (mutually) exploring the relationship and seeing where it goes as long as everyone is on the same page.

More Than Words is a great organization that empowers youth in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school by teaching them valuable business skills. They have a few stores in and around the Boston area, as well as several donation bins that are always open and accessible! Check them out: https://mtwyouth.org/

That’s the risk when you start a show based on one of the most carefully crafted and detailed worlds since Tolkien was alive, and then move that show out beyond the world that has been written by the original author. George R.R. Martin is a master at his craft, and has had the luxury of taking his (very, very) sweet time in building his world. HBO writers didn’t have that luxury and, no matter how committed to the end of the series they were or weren’t, it’s a rare talent that can craft stories with as much detail and continuity as Martin. GoT had a very high bar to meet to end the series, and it was almost guaranteed to miss it. Consider it Seinfeld for the 2010’s.

According to my friend the BC Factbook there are 41 undergraduate and graduate students at BC from Italy. http://bit.ly/BC-FactBook. I don’t have similar numbers for faculty and staff, but there are at least a few, and there are LOTS of Italian-Americans. Why not stop by the Italian Club (Il Circolo Italiano) and ask around? http://bit.ly/bc-italian-club

Yes. At least, there’s no explicit prohibition on it. However, most faculty advisors will want to be very sure that you have a concrete understanding of the subject matter before allowing you to do research under them (that’s also true for all undergrads and even grad students). Chances are that you’re better off working as an assistant in a lab or asking a faculty member for some additional reading material in that field to get up to date. You could reach out directly (via email) – most faculty are thrilled when undergraduates express a sincere interest in the subject matter. Good luck and welcome to BC!

Pro: Leafier, quieter, more parking, a cool statue of Sir Thomas More. Con: I miss you all when you’re not here, though there is pretty good campus shuttle service.

According to the University of Santa Barbara, water isn’t actually wet! “Wetness” is actually the ability of a liquid to stick to the surface of a material, so when we say something is “wet” it means it has a liquid stuck to it.
