Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
The hurting doesn’t have to go away completely to have moved on, but it should be less intense and take up less of your mindspace. If you are struggling, you could make an appointment with Counseling services (bit.ly/BC-counseling)
Ask for what you want. Let them know that it means a lot to you to have them call you, and you would like them them to do so. You could even recommend a schedule (Sundays at 7 PM for example.)
Could very well be. Making it clear to them that you value their calls and welcome them could make them feel more secure about picking up the phone.
What a good question! There are many different theories on music and sound to explore. There are many books on the theory of music that you can find upstairs in the ML3807’s that might help you answer this question.
The best advice you can get is from the CFLC: bit.ly/BC-connors Call now for an appointment! In brief: plan your priorities and time over the next few weeks. Schedule the biggest items first, then fit in smaller ones. Be sure to schedule rest and meals. You can do this!
How can you ask such a question of a wall in a library with thousands of books of poetry!? Well, here’s a favorite poem about writing poems, by Seamus Heaney: poetryfoundation.org/poems/47555/digging
GOAT: “…But I am talking too much. It’s because I chatter that I do nothing. Or perhaps it is that I chatter because I do nothing. I’ve learned to chatter this last month, lying for days together in my den thinking… of Jack the Giant-killer. Why am I going there now? Am I capable of that? Is that serious? It is not serious at all. It’s simply a fantasy to amuse myself; a plaything! Yes, maybe it is a plaything.”
That’s got to be a hard decision. I would advise getting advice from your academic advisor, and also making a pro/con list. Do you have a gut sense of which choice you would regret if you didn’t choose it?
