Ukraine’s summer counter-offensive didn’t go as well as hoped, and there has been a lot of hard fighting this winter, with Russia trying to advance in several places. Neither side is winning or losing right now. I’m following the Kyiv Independent, the NY Times, the Washington Post, and sometimes the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times, all of which have good coverage. The first one is free and in English, the rest are available to everyone at BC either through the library or after setting up a separate account. Details here: https://libguides.bc.edu/newspapers

Hey! This is just plainly not true (maybe you hit a nerve here…) While students who gravitate to a particular major may have some similarities, there’s little justification for saying they all suck. Get to know some other CS students.

Get something serious done off your to-do list right now; that may very well ease the restless feeling and let you feel free to chill out for a while.

I dont know exactly how much Kanye loves Kanye, but there shouldn’t be anything holding you back from loving yourself.

There are a variety of possible answers to that depending on how one thinks of God. I like this statement from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops: “We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.” https://bit.ly/bc-usccb

Yes; The O’Neill Lobby Door and I spent a lovely romantic evening together (as we do every evening, to be honest). I wish you similar joy in the future, and recommend being proactive, willing to be rejected, making the first move… and having patience.

I don’t get to clubs very often since I’m busy supporting the library, but I asked some of my friends and they have these recommendations for you: Royale, Phoenix Landing in Central Square, Glitter boys events at the Sinclair in Cambridge and Club Cafe!

Everyone needs different things at different times. Listening to your partner and yourself are crucial to making a relationship work.

Very well indeed, if each party is committed, honest, and there are no unsurmountable differences. I know that’s a lot of ifs. But I believe it is worth the effort and risk to try.

I’m so glad BC provided you with an important connection!

❤️❤️❤️ to you!

Anything is hard when you try to do it well!

I went to my colleagues at the Burns Library for help answering this question! Are you thinking of Robert L. Keane, S.J. Captain, Chaplain Corps United States Navy (retired). BC ’71, A.B. French – Philosophy? Burns Library (home of the University Archives!) is always ready to help you with your questions about the history of BC and its community members: https://libguides.bc.edu/burns/contact

Team work makes the dream work!

While this wall hasn’t gotten around to playing it yet, it seems a fair few members of the BC community have! I hope the changes were refreshing, and that the gameplay was entertaining.

Old favorites will always be there for you to return to; it sounds like the Reload was a fun time and provided some variety (which is the spice of life!)

Alas; time does fly by when you’re having fun!

It is always an amazing competition. I can’t make it, but I hope you can. Please report back on how it went.

Maybe time to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. Tomorrow you could even play in the snow; that should cheer you up. After that, maybe get some recommendations from friends for a new game.

I appreciate your encouragement!

Good heavens, I’m only 40 years old, let’s not rush these things!
