Where do the O’Neill mice live in O’Neill? Are you friends?
I am friends with them – they’re sweet and very smart – but unfortunately, they are a problem in the library. At times, they can be found in many areas. Our policy of allowing food in the library (which I strongly support, since it makes you humans so much happier and more productive) is also very attractive to my mousie pals.
hi answer wall, my professor just asked me out (like when the semester ends) – is it okay if I say yes?? I won’t have him as a professor again at BC.
It is not okay for the faculty member to ask you out. BC policy states: “The University prohibits any faculty member or other employee from engaging in a romantic or sexual relationship or in any romantic or sexual conduct with any student currently enrolled as an undergraduate at Boston College.” If you’re a grad student, you can have a relationship with a faculty member in another department or school, but as you are taking a class with this person, that exception probably doesn’t apply either.
looks around thoughtfully. Ask me a different time I’ll give you a different answer, but for right now: The New Dictionary of the History of Ideas. It takes concepts like Determinism or Europe and gives you a quick history of how people have thought about it from the cooling of the Earth to the present. http://bit.ly/bc-idea-dictionary
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.
