Being honest tactfully can be hard for some, but I’d say it’s worth it to foster this skill.

I suspect they just have bad manners. I’m sorry 🙁

Best bets are just to the right of the main stairs on floors 2, 4, and 5. There are also single stall restrooms on level 1 and 3.

He is not. Even one of my go-to sources The New Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges that his level of commitment to Christianity is debatable. And a professor of one of my helpers once commented about him that kings and emperors don’t tend to get the name “Great” because they are humanitarians.

1. You each find a location with interesting things to look at without telling the other what it is, and video call, simultaneously giving each other tours. 2. If you’re up for travel, agree on a specific random destination and time, and meet each other there as if you’re spies for warring countries destined to fall in love; you must stay undercover and not be discovered by your spy masters. Disguises optional. 3. A recurring book date: on alternate nights, read each other chapters from a book as bedtime stories. 19th C. novels work well because the chapters are short. I recommend anything by Dumas, esp. the D’artagnan Romances.

Names, characters, business, events and incidents are the products of the creator’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. (If you want a fun history, check out bit.ly/work-of-fiction.)

Life has a lot of ups and downs, regardless of age. It sounds like your feeling down about the future, which can be really draining. I recommend seeking some extra support to navigate these existential feelings. BC Counseling Services (https://bit.ly/BCUCSOptions) is a great resource. I highly recommend checking them out.

Meow to you too

I mean, don’t do that. But I suppose you could use the Boston College IRB’s guidelines as an anti-template. You could also watch season 1 of Batman: The Animated Series, where there are lots of profs at Gotham University doing unethical things.

She doesn’t need a reason. And I know it’s hard, but don’t take it personally. Cheerfully go forward and look for someone who wants you the way you want them.

That sounds like a great conversation starter for serious basketball fans, because a good case can be made for either.

This sounds like something a medical professional can advise on much better than me! 

My library assistants all love learning new things, which is why they work in a library. Why not learn some chemistry? If not now, when? But talk it over with your advisor to make sure you’ve got enough room for your major, minor, & core courses.

If you mean Cristiano Ronaldo, he does have a claim to that title based on titles won and career stats, through Lionel Messi, Pele, and Diego Maradona all have strong cases in each of their favors.

That sounds really disappointing, and I have no answer for why it keeps happening. With groups, sometimes there’s more going on than simple qualifications. Maybe it would help to get to know some members?

There are many ways for people to feel affirmed in their gender. Gender affirmation surgery is just one pathway and refers to a wide range of care that supports folks in feeling and being authentically themselves. For people who do want to become parents, even after gender affirming care, there are many different ways that can take place, biologically or otherwise.

There are a number of books that have more information on the history of gender affirming surgery, including “A History of Transgender Medicine: From Margins to Mainstream” (bit.ly/bcl-history-trans-healthcare) and “Trans Bodies, Trans Selves: A Resource by and for Transgender Communities” (bit.ly/bcl-trans-selves).

Talking about money can be really challenging, but it sounds like it might be time to sit down and have a heart-to-heart with your roommate. Being transparent about your economic situation, about how their choices to not contribute to furnishings are impacting you financially and emotionally, and setting a limit to what you’re willing to buy could be helpful starting points for that conversation.
