Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Visit as many museums as you can- almost all of them are free! Also, take strolls around Kew Gardens and have picnics on Primrose Hill. And please say hi to the London Wall for me. Or say “Salve”–I hear the London Wall still speaks Latin…
I don’t do much in the way of RPGs, but glancing at synopses of their characters, I’d probably go with Misha…
There are so many wonderful places to see in Boston! The MFA and the Isabella Steward Gardner are great for museums, the Freedom trail will give you a good historical walk, and the Common and Esplanade are beautiful. My library friends have recommended restaurants like Barcelona, Brighton Bodega, Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, Blue Ribbon BBQ, and Asmara.
Ask open-ended questions and listen!
I have heard my library friends mention a few they admire: Jamie Vardy, T. J. Oshie, and Felix Batista.
If only I had the powers of cupid! Hm, then again, I’m kind of glad I don’t; that’s a lot of responsibility, finding matches between people I hardly know. I’m sorry to disappoint. I recommend looking for friends first and foremost, and being your authentic self with them and everyone. Something will arise, have patience.
Why not contact the BC Alumni Association (alumni.comments@bc.edu or 617-552-4700/ 800-669-8430) and ask them what the best way to do this would be?
Most of campus is done in a style called “collegiate Gothic”, but O’Neill was designed by The Architects’ Collaborative, which tended toward a more modernist style. They also did the John F. Kennedy federal building next to City Hall in Boston, and you can kinda see a resemblance. Not everyone likes big slabs of concrete, but I think they’re great. https://answers.bc.edu/faq/170899

Well, hello there! ❤️
It maybe more difficult, but it can certainly work. A Pew Research Center study (bit.ly/PewInterfaith) showed that 39% of couples married in 2010 were in interfaith relationships (and there was an even higher percentage of non-married couples in an interfaith relationship.)
I do understand your fear. Please know, though, that my assistants know people who were suspended during higher ed, returned and finished, and are fine. The ones who finished all seriously reflected on and addressed whatever their part was in the suspension so that they didn’t repeat it in college, or later in life when a re-do isn’t as easy as returning at the end of a suspension period. Please talk to some trusted advisers to help you through this period; there’s no benefit to toughing it out on your own.
Alas, events conspired to prevent this showing. Our next movie night will be in February, date to be confirmed. Keep an eye on the poster in the O’Neill Lobby and Social Media for details.
Talk to more people generally. And talk to boys because you like talking to them, not because you have an agenda. It gets much easier with practice, I promise.
That would be a great thing to set up wellness coaching with the Center for Student Wellness (bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach). Getting new habits to stick isn’t easy – but I have faith in you!
Well, I would tell you a joke about a thirty-foot wall, but you’d never get over it.
I’m sorry you’re in that situation. Unfortunately, unless you’re King Midas, a business star, or a card shark, or marry into wealth (you’ll earn every penny) or a rich aunt dies and leaves you everything, a job is about the only way forward. I recommend a visit to the career center for longer term work, or dining services or area businesses for shorter-term: my assistants have seen a lot of help wanted signs.
If continued contact could be harmful, block him: bit.ly/gmail-block-address.
Make frequent use of peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors). Reach out to your professor/go to their office hours (that’s what they’re for!) Get a study buddy in your class and work together. I am confident you can do this!
This has been a question that philosophers and theologians have grappled with for centuries. Check out this book Free Will: A Very Short Introduction (bit.ly/introfreewill) to learn more about the question and make up your own mind (maybe as an exercise in your own free will?).
