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.

Absolutely! A B.A. degree prepares you to think critically, which prepares you for just about any work circumstance. If you’d like to explore career possibilities that draw directly on your major, I recommend the Career Center: bit.ly/BC-career

I’m so glad you had a good experience with him! Dr. Hudson decided to take up a new philosophy teaching position at another university.

Well, since I am in the O’Neill lobby, I don’t get outside much. What is something you saw outside that made your day?

The whole concept of painted rocks is a delight and a wonder. A ladybug! Splendid!

Thank you! What a wonderful set of mental pictures!

I did, thank you! Though, I’m happy to find the lobby so busy with all your lovely faces back on campus.

Have you seen the “do you love the color of the sky?” meme? Because I think that has your answer.

Cliff diving off a major building in the host city. Just because. https://bit.ly/3Gkfh9t

Ugh.

It really very heavily depends on the context. There are lots of reasons why people might find you off-putting, some of which are under your control and some of which aren’t. Take a look at the things that are, and decide if this group of people is worth making adjustments for.

It is not a sure thing for anyone; BC needs to turn away so many students who are qualified and would make great eagles. I do hope you get accepted (but don’t despair; my helpers tell me that many did not get into their 1st choice, but had wonderful college experiences.)

Prediction is a job for my cousin, the magic 8-ball. All I can do is cross all my fingers. Figuratively, of course. I don’t have fingers.

Aren’t we all?

Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful break!
