Math in the afternoon is challenging if you’re a morning person. Maybe fit in a quick walk around campus right before class starts? And make sure you’re getting enough sleep – most people don’t. The Office of Health Promotion has some great tips on sleep: http://bit.ly/BCSleepy

You have a couple of options: carry on like nothing happened, or tell the person very briefly something like, “I want to apologize for my behavior the other night, as you can tell I was out of sorts.”  Everyone sees the environment through their own lenses, so don’t spend too much time trying to change someone’s perception.

Billiards are available at the O’Connell House Student Union, as well as at The Murray Center (for grad students).

There are a wide range of potential climate change scenarios. The upper extremes of temperature increase (6 celsius) pose major challenges for humanity within the century, due to food shortages (droughts, changing growing seasons, collapsing fish stocks), flooded cities, and the social upheaval & wars that likely accompany catastrophic changes. The lower range of temperature change (1.5 celsius) suggest difficulties, perhaps even major ones, especially for poorer nations. Read the most recent IPCC report for more detail: https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/. The important thing is to work on two fronts: reduce greenhouse gas emissions and begin planning for crises.

I’m more a live-in-the-moment kind of wall than a planner, but #14 and #15 on this list sound pretty good. And I’ve already got #3 covered. http://bit.ly/bc-resolve

What a friendly looking fish! This reminds me of one of my favorite jokes. Q: How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: The Fish!

I know you don’t want to hurt her, but pain is an inevitable part of breakups for both parties. Instead of seeking the impossible (no pain), acknowledge the pain and talk through it. You’ll both need time to process; be ready for a wide range of emotional responses both from yourself and from her. Keep statements focused on “I,” (I’m feeling ____ right now.) Be strong.

RAWR!

But I’m moving on with mine

Who knows? There’s a new coach in town and that means a whole new regime. It will be a building year, but we could also be surprised.

Baltimore, LA Chargers, Seahawks, and either Atlanta or Indianapolis. If this pick works for you, consider hitting some game theory articles. The Journal of the Philosophy of Sport is a good bet: bit.ly/bc-philo-sport (BC credentials required).

Bacon tomorrow.

I’m sorry you’re left with so few viable options. Perhaps travel? Pick a few locations you’d like to see & see what you can find for last-minute deals, air-bnb’s, or ridesharing (ridesharing.com). I hope you find a solution that suits you.

I don’t (I have coffee every night – tonight’s the last night) , but Hillside does – in fact, if I recall correctly, they can even prepare you a steamer (steamed milk) with a shot of flavor. I hear that’s delicious!

Being consigned to a stationary life, I’m even impressed by walking, so I’d be a poor judge. They’re all amazing!

Yes, they’re great! So are all the others. Like I said, I’m impressed by any human movement at all, even stumbling (which owing to my proximity to stairs, I see regularly; be careful!).
