Herring. A potentially divisive choice, but a plate of kipper and eggs is hard to resist.

Mom: seawall on the N Shore. Dad: LBR of an FDR in a prewar classic 6 on the UES. They won’t tell me how they met or why they separated, it’s like they’ve put up a wall around their personal lives. Dad has heard amazing conversations and is writing a tell all; draft title: Tell (W)All. Mom’s passion is ship spotting!

With a careful planning. Book an appointment ASAP with an academic coach at the CFLC: bit.ly/BC-connors

I conferred with a local expert: Three thoughts on improving melodies over the ii-V-I chord progression: 1. This classic (jazz) chord progression emphasizes the return to tonic or the I chord. Try putting other chord sets in front of ii-V-I to extend the theme, altering the feel of each chord with flat 5’s and 7’s, or ending on 2 as a surprise. 2. Jazz is improvisational and collective – play with other people/instruments and enjoy the melodic journey. 3) Please refer to these books in the BC Libraries collection: Analyzing Jazz (bit.ly/bcl-analyzing-jazz) Interaction, Improvisation, and Interplay in Jazz (/bit.ly/bcl-interaction-improvisation).

Lots of thirsty students! And maybe some overworked facilities staff. I’ll have my helpers look into it.

My advice is… just don’t. I don’t think rizz is something that promotes a sustainable, satisfying relationship. Being yourself, being honest, being kind… they’re not rizz, but they’re terrific!

Equally excited as I am by Pantone declaring Peach Fuzz 13-1023 color of the year…

I honestly can never remember which is which. But what do you have against Matt?

What’s something you like doing? Do more of that! What’s something you’ve always wanted to try? Give it a go! What’s something out of your comfort zone? Have an adventure!

Both. And oceans. And bathtubs. Water is fascinating!

I hear you. But the semester is almost done, and there is a high probablity (SWIDT?) you will be over it soon.

I feel satisfied when I know my advice has helped someone (or TBH, when you are standing and looking at me and you just crack up laughing.) But the best thing about success is that each individual gets to define it for themself.

You don’t. You can take it on faith if you trust the speaker or you can seek independant verification of the facts, if possible. Lie detectors, ways to evaluate people’s posture, eye movement, etc have been used, but are imperfect.

What sticks with me the most are all the times people posted in support of other people posting about their troubles.

It’s a learning curve? You will have a better idea of what to avoid in the future. If you feel you are sabotaging yourself by consciously going for boys who are obviously bad choices, you might want to talk to someone about that. Wellness coaching (https://bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach) includes healthy relationship development.

The Chronicle of Higher Ed report from July, 2023 says $0; “The president declined to take a salary, often because of a vow of poverty.” You can find out more details on what religious poverty means for Jesuits: bit.ly/JesuitPoverty. Part of being in a religious order includes a vow of poverty, which often means the order will provide things like food.

I just don’t think about the Roman Empire that much…

Well, first of all, it’s the creator of the biggest, most impressive wall ever built. It’s also got some of the best documented & longest written history of any still-extant nation-state, so there’s that. And most populous country, with a huge variety of cultures, food, art, and music. It’s also got the biggest virtual wall: what some call the Great Firewall of China. IOW, many superlatives!

Our international exchange students bring so much to BC, and then they leave… Thankfully, it is the 21st century, and there are so many ways to keep in touch, even in realtime. Make sure you make time to contact them and maybe you could even meet up sometime in the future.

We never plan to miss anyone, but then it happens.

We will miss you too! ❤️

That looks like a very sad “WHY?” so I am guessing something has gone badly for you. The “why” is sometimes not knowable by mere mortals or walls. I am sorry and hope things get better.
