Transfer into BC or out of it? In either case (whether you are here or elsewhere), contacting your academic advisor would probably be the place to start. Best of luck!

History does have that reputation. I highly recommend Academic Coaching at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) to help you develop the skills to manage your time and read more efficiently.

I don’t know, but it gets quite close (McElroy) from 5pm to 2am. Here are all shuttle options: bit.ly/bctransp.

If you are able and up to the task, this is also true!

Yes, it totally does. And the pretense that everything’s a meritocracy kinda makes it worse.

Sadly, yes.

A wise friend reminds me from time to time that you are not your job or your grades or what you own or how much money you make or where you hang. You are valuable just for being you.

The atmosphere scatters sunlight, and blue scatters most because it’s high frequency.

I hear that between the sofa cushions is the place to try.

Not better or worse, but rather, two distinct universities with very similar names and green-line-straddling locations! While both offer exceptional opportunities to get educated and do research, the mission of each institution is unique.

There are a zillion lists like this online, but this is a pretty good one: https://bit.ly/bc-list. I also recently gave some advice on non-touristy things to do, and what a Boston bucket list would look like. Check those out in my online version: https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/

I think this is a species of collective action problem, but how to resolve it would depend on whether you think your row-mates or the airline are the cause of the prisoner’s dilemma of modern air travel. https://bit.ly/3Z70gk0

I’m inclined towards an early, lesser-known song, “Sally Ride,” a tribute to the NASA astronaut for being the first American woman and first lgbtq person in space. She died the year before the release of the album on which the song appears, so I think it’s a kind of eulogy.

Yes, OK, but if he picks you up and the headlights are out, please don’t drive with him. I worry about you!

So exciting! I can’t wait to see who might collab on some vault songs ?

Hourly rates for jobs at the library begin at $16.54 and top out at $18.23

The place to start (and apply) is here: bit.ly/BCLibrariesJobs. There were a lot of applications this fall and O’Neill has finished the current round of hiring, but we often need to do mid-semester hiring or additional hiring for the spring semester.

In general the process is to begin by building support among the group you want to organize, and find a union organizer to work with, then hold an election. Many student groups have chosen to affiliate with the United Auto Workers. Here’s an outline of the process from the National Labor Relations Board: https://bit.ly/bc-nlrb. There was an attempt to organize a graduate student union at BC a few years ago.

To keep it fresh, my current favorite is I Can See You! The Speak Now vault songs were incredible!

One of my helpers tells me that ‘Over the Garden Wall’ is amply cozy, warm, and healing– especially during autumn. As a wall myself, I find the title promising.

Hmmmmm… you mean you wouldn’t rather hear me sing? Just kidding! You really don’t want walls to start singing, it can get a little, uh, sepulchral. I’ll have my assistants confer, and I’ll post a playlist if they find a way.

I’m impatiently waiting for my assistants to make this a reality. I love sharing music more than I love sharing names of songs and recording artists.

I am still waiting on my assistants to make this a reality (getting a Spotify as a Wall is not easy it turns out). In the meantime, thank you, main desk worker.

Let’s play! My library helpers have finally given me a Spotify account. Here’s the psychedelic/euphoric playlist to get the party started: bit.ly/aw-playlist-psychedelic
