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.

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!

Tteokbokki!

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.

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

Gingerly.

Wallabies, of course!

It’s mostly tuition, fees, and the return on an almost three billion dollar endowment. BC also receives about a hundred million dollars per year in donations, which is more than many schools’ entire endowments. I’m speaking generally, if you want the specifics you should visit my friend the BC Fact Book: http://bit.ly/BC-FactBook. (and if you’re getting any financial aid, you’re almost certainly already getting some of BC’s money)

That works up here! And here’s a nugget from Eleanor Roosevelt to ponder, “Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.”

No, but be prepared for some heartburn!

I’d say if you’re overwhelmingly fixated on what you like about someone, to the point of idolizing them, you are likely infatuated with them. This sometimes involves not paying much attention to things that would be considered negative. An example is possibly deciding to ignore the fact that someone you’re infatuated with clearly doesn’t respect you. Love often involves having a more comprehensive understanding of someone you’re affectionate towards. There may be things about them you don’t like, but you’re willing to accept their faults because you want to build and maintain a healthy relationship with them.

Take some time for self-care, focusing on your mental health and general wellness. Give yourself some time and prioritize yourself, and you’ll be back to caring about classes before you know it. Then you can make a plan to keep self-care strategies a routine part of your life to prevent burn-out in the future.

You need to define what you mean by success: earn money, perfect a craft, become powerful, create art, build a family, achieve true happiness, be honest and humble… . Then learn what it would take to achieve your goals, and be single minded about taking all the necessary steps. No guarantees, though! Life happens.

Yes- I can answer in Comic Sans

I think you answered your own question. The 4th floor restrooms are heavily used and smaller than the ones on the 2nd and 5th floors. Their heavy and concentrated use makes it very difficult to keep the 4th floor facilities clean and in good repair. I guess sometimes being popular isn’t such a great thing.

Nothing is fundamentally wrong with you that isn’t fundamentally wrong with every other human on the planet. Humans are only human, not superhumans. What’s fundamentally right about you is that you’re you.

The important questions about promoting values are almost always “whose values?” and “how?”.

According to a library friend, it’s pretty alright. I imagine it’s an album people who loved “Jesus Walks” would really appreciate.

I agree with the comment–that tends not to be a question people ask, unless they’re at least a little self-reflective. Humility, and being able to admit what you don’t know, are important marks of intellectual maturity. No need to beat yourself up about it though.
